Warwick unveils long-scale, BEAD-tuned RockBass Corvette Taranis bass guitar
EMG-equipped bass apes five-string low range with a four-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.
