Just got one this week for $50 ,all it needs is tuners ,nut ,a string peg ,trussrod cover ,pickup ,and input strap button. This may sound like a lot , but I had some parts already. So I've only had to put another $50 into it. Condition is excellent. Should have it finished in about a month once the order ships in !!!.

In the past I have purchased drum shells for 5 bux ,warwick bass necks for 25 bux ,hardshell cases for 10 bux, and of course this bass for 50 bux. I also got a badly damaged banjo for 15 bux ,which I restored for about 35 bux.

No, I have tried them in a store, and compared to other brands they are towards the quiet end of the spectrum. I have an acoustic bass of another brand, which I've found to be the loudest of any brand I have tried (most of them), and even that doesn't really compete. That said, I am considering buying an alien anyway, as they have a fretless model, plus I quite like the aesthetics.
@narco737 жыл бұрын
Actually, a month later, and I realised that I tried the Rockbass version, whereas the one in this vid is the top of the line model. Its possible that it is a different story with this one. Apologies for my confusion.
@theWillOfTheBlades2 жыл бұрын
Don't count on it, a bass would need a very, very large body to produce the same volume. I love acoustic basses, but there's a good reason they're almost always semi-acoustic. Great for practising on the couch, not so much for playing unamplified. I'm sure this one projects at decent volume, but not likely enough for you to play along with an acoustic guitar.

***** exactly. The phrase "presented with" isn't gonna make many people aware of the fact they're hearing a direct signal. In fact it could still imply that the amp is part of the sound they're hearing. You can excuse your way out of this any way you want but I still think that this type of marketing is misleading and dishonest. You could've just put the amp out of frame if you want to avoid the player wearing headphones. How's that for a change?

I just got my brand new ,top of the line Alien bass and I am quite upset with it. The output jack is totally loose and you need a certain tool to tighten it. The frets are cutting my fingers and the feedback ,shakes the hell out of the bass.I tried setting the bass exactly how Andy has his set in the video and ,I can't get near that volume ,without the bass shaking. I was going to take it to a service center ,but I am so turned off by this ,that I don't want it. I hope Warwick stands by their product and replaces it .You know that feeling when ,you get something new and it's defective and it just sickens you ,because you were so excited waiting for it and the it is F'ed up. I will keep you advised . I would be happy if they sent me a new one ,set up and ready to go out of the box ,with a return label ,so I could send this one back.
