Warwick Basses

Warwick Basses

Warwick didn’t become a household name by following the American playbook. While everyone else was copying the big F brand, Hans-Peter Wilfer was in Markneukirchen experimenting with wenge necks, ovangkol bodies, and a brass nut that made engineers raise an eyebrow and bassists raise the volume.

That was 1982. Since then, Warwick basses have become synonymous with a particular kind of authority: dense, growling mids, a low end that hits you in the chest, and a neck profile that either becomes your favourite thing in music or starts a very passionate argument. There’s no in-between with a Warwick. You know within ten seconds.

We keep select German made models in stock, primarily the Streamer Stage I, which remains one of the most versatile and recognisable basses Warwick has ever built. However, the full lineup is available on order, including:

  • Corvette - The gateway. Snappy, aggressive, and responsible for more first Warwick addictions than any other model.
  • Thumb - That tone. Compact body, neck-through sustain, and a midrange bark that sits in a mix like it owns the place.
  • Streamer - From the bolt-on LX to the neck-through Stage I and Stage II, arguably the most versatile range in the Warwick stable.
  • Dolphin - Ergonomic, unconventional, and tonally unlike anything else in the lineup. For players who’ve tried everything and want something that actually surprises them.
  • Vampyre - Aggressive aesthetics, aggressive tone. Not subtle. Not trying to be, and actually one of my dream bass ;p

All German-made models come with Warwick’s MEC electronics and their signature Just-A-Nut adjustable brass nut. In addition, we can spec custom shop orders through Warwick for players who want specific woods, finishes, or hardware configurations.
