Warwick unveils long-scale, BEAD-tuned RockBass Corvette Taranis bass guitar
EMG-equipped bass apes five-string low range with a four-string
Warwick has announced the RockBass Corvette Taranis, a long-scale, BEAD-tuned four-string bass.
The combination of the 35” scale length and low tuning allows four-string players to traverse five-string lows without the extra string.


Other features include an ash body, maple neck with wenge fingerboard, Warwick Just a Nut III Tedur nut, a pair of active EMG DC35 soapbar pickups, active two-way electronics (with volume, balance, treble and bass controls) a two-piece Warwick bridge, Warwick Security Locks and chrome hardware.
The Nirvana Black Transparent Satin-finished RockBass Corvette Taranis is available from 10 July - head over to Warwick for more info.
