[@efrainmarioni5592]

Warwick please give us a rock bass thumb‼️😭😔

[@fatherlengthyappendages3792]

A thumb made out of anything but bubinga is unfortunately sacrilege to them

[@applesauceman3555]

I would do anything for a rockbass thumb ❤

[@mauriciuscastrus]

Andy and his impeccable demonstration !!

[@rescuetoaster76]

the fortress is by far my favorite body shape. a 90's mastermind is my dream bass!

[@VHToff0li]

Andy's playing and warwick sound are a match made in heaven

[@rolsonray]

Hellyeah Andy! Great presentation as ALWAYS!

[@clausm2203]

Great video and the quality of these basses are just great

[@HodagHunter]

This is what I've been waiting for - stoked for these to roll out. Cheers!

[@gcvrsa]

The Fortress is definitely one of my favorite bass shapes. Glad to see it making a new appearance! I just wish Warwick would consider using a wider string spacing for 5- and 6-string basses, and a smaller fingerboard radius. My ideal Warwick bass would be a cross between a Streamer CV5 and a Fortress 5, with wider string spacing.

[@Thudmunky]

Watching this series of rock bass videos showing the updated basses has inspired me to get my rock bass corvette back out for gigs and boy am I glad I did , it absolutely rocked through my new Boss Katana 2x10. 🤘😎🤘 super light and super playable. Great video Andy.

[@ImJustStandingHere]

I remember my old '93 German Fortress. Was a real beast!

[@SourNote93]

Is there gonna be Streamer Standard 5 and NT-1 update?

[@nickmontanabass]

Very beautiful bass

[@MEGARETH69]

Does Warwick Fortress have short or medium scales? The 34 in scale is a bit too long for me,😢😢😢😢😢😢I own a 2016 Thumbo 5 German . I have to tune to F standard and capo on 2nd fret in order to play more comfortable for me. Looking for this Warwick Fortress, if there no short or medium scales. I have to apply same method to my Thumbo 5😅😅 😅😅😅😅😂❤❤❤

Bring The Dolphin 🐬 design for The Rockbass line 🔥

[@AlexanderHolovachov]

Does he mean 60Hz cycle hum or groundning noise when not touching the strings? Because old MEC gold singles never had 60Hz hum just like any other active pickup around. On the other hand, my RB Vampyre has noticeable buzz when I'm not touching the strings despite grounding is absolutely fine.

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Hi Alexander! The revamped RockBass instruments are completely noise/hum free. You will neither have 60Hz hum or grounding issues from not touching the strings or bridge, as demonstrated in the video. As for the claim that active pickups of any brand "never" show any noise in general, this is not quite accurate. Active dual coil pickups are generally expected to be naturally noise free but a lot active single coil designs out there only amplify existing hum or noise.

[@AlexanderHolovachov]

@@FramusWarwickOfficial Thank you for your response.

[@adityabali1939]

Please upload videos of the revamped Rockbass $$ and Taranis!!!!

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Stay tuned in, these will drop soon. 😉

[@jamesgrainger4328]

Nice …🤘

[@AugustThor438]

Hmm I’m confused, aren’t the pickups active? There shouldn’t be any hum regardless if they have shielding or not

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Hi there, active pickups being entirely noise and hum free is somewhat of a misconception. Especially active single coil pickups are still single coil pickups in nature and are more receptive to hum and noise compared to dual coul pickups and due to their active nature can amplify any existing noise, especially when these frequencies are additionally boosted using the preamp. These are also switchable to passive to be still usable when batteries run dry, so the shielding makes a big difference.

[@Crschn-y8v]

Will there be a new 4-string version too?

[@marcionobrega5117]

Esse baixo é top ❤❤❤

[@evil-um4yi]

Wish they would do 35" scale on their 5 strings

[@FramusWarwickOfficial]

Hi there, we intentionally stick to the 34" scale for all of our 5-string basses, because we want to keep the feel, string tension and sound for the EAD and G sting of a 34" 4-string and additionally the B-string on a Warwick is known for its tight and powerful sound and precise intonation. As for 35" scale basses, we do offer the 4-String RockBass Taranis in 35" scale, which comes standard in BEAD, or the 35" RockBass Vampyre Dark Lord which comes standard in F#BEA.

[@manoelsouza4810]

Aonde acho esse modelo no Brasil??

[@JS_bass]

Isn't there anyone at Warwick who realizes that putting decent dot markers on those basses could raise your sales by 50%?

[@keytronek]

There are dot markers on the side of the neck. More than enough.

[@JVMC_ZR1]

That's one of the reasons why I love Warwick, no markers on the fretboard. I never look at the fretboard while playing, especially not live. I just use the side dots.

[@M2Mil7er]

putting in decent hours to develop muscle memory, and ear training can raise your ability to play without looking at the neck by 90%.

[@9691dapper]

Based on my personal experience, playing my Warwicks with just the side dots has made me a way more confident player with regards to fretboard navigation. I also feel a plain fretboard looks way cooler. Just my personal thoughts.

[@ghettoshampoo]

dots are so ugly

[@froorocks100]

But does it metal 🤟

[@aroy121]

China made?
