The Warwick RockBass Fortress 5-String Bass Guitar combines the distinctive Warwick sound with modern performance features in an affordable, stage-ready instrument. Built with premium tonewoods, reinforced neck construction, and versatile active electronics, the Fortress delivers exceptional playability, powerful tone, and outstanding reliability for players of all styles.
Featuring a two-piece solid ash body and a bolt-on four-piece laminated maple neck with black veneer stripes, the Fortress produces a balanced, articulate tone with excellent sustain and attack. Dual carbon reinforcement bars, extending from the 12th to the 24th fret, provide increased neck stability, while the smooth wenge fingerboard and 24 jumbo titanium-brass alloy frets ensure effortless playability across the entire 34-inch scale.
Equipped with active MEC J/J pickups and active 2-band electronics, the Fortress offers the unmistakable Warwick voice with powerful lows, focused mids, and crisp highs. Controls for volume, balance, treble, and bass provide extensive tonal shaping, while the copper-shielded electronics compartment minimizes unwanted noise for clean, professional performance.
Finished in Burgundy Red Transparent Satin, the Fortress is outfitted with Warwick's premium hardware, including the 2-piece 3D bridge, Just-A-Nut III Tedur nut, S-Security Locks, and Quick Access truss rod and electronics compartments. Complete with a RockBass Starline Premium Gig Bag and a full accessory package, this bass is ready for the studio, rehearsal, or the stage.
