WHUFC BASS Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 That's a new one on me too. I always thought they were bolt-on necks they had on Rockbasses. I used to own a 5-string early 2000s Rockbass and it was great, sound-wise and playability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 (edited) There were a few models of later Rockbasses that featured neckthru builds. The tell tale signs of a Rockbass are multi piece maple neck that is part of a non-hidden neck thru design and also high gloss finish. The made in China stamped on the back of the neck is also a giveaway Edited February 8, 2023 by dyerseve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I had one of these, it was a bit crap. Never got a good sound out of it - was thin and characterless. Never moved a bass on faster than the one I had, was a real disappointment. Gloss felt about a mile thick and... plasticy, made the neck quite unpleasant. And it was a bit of a boat anchor too. Really, there was nothing much to like about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Warwick have tried to shift the RockBass brand upmarket from time to time; maybe this was one of those attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed 😆 I generally love Warwick basses - currently have a German Thumb, a Pro Series Corvette fretless and a Korean Pro Series Thumb, and have had an assortment of Corvette Rockbasses over the years. I had really high hopes for the Streamer NT Rockbass. So I was gutted it was such a dog of a bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
