Warwick Alien, Lefthand, 4-String - Natural Transparent Satin, Demo model

In terms of sound, the Warwick Alien acoustic bass sits somewhere between an electric bass and an upright bass. It offers a wide range of expressive possibilities and significantly expands one’s sonic palette. The distinctive design—featuring a unique cutaway and an asymmetrical soundhole—contributes to both the instrument's individuality and its warm tone. The back and sides of the Alien are laminated to enhance stability, making the bass particularly well-suited for live performance. Even when unamplified, the Alien delivers a clear, dynamic, and expressive sound, characterized by a growling quality and a rich punch across the instrument's entire frequency spectrum. The Alien comes equipped with the Fishman Prefix Plus system. With a variable notch filter, a phase-reversal switch, controls for bass, treble, and brilliance, as well as a semi-parametric "contour" control, players have a wealth of options for nuanced sound shaping. A "low battery" indicator provides timely notice when the 9-volt battery is running low. Warwick
