Warwick Starbass II Maple for 2009

Warwick are expanding their already extensive product line with the “ultra-retro-cool” hollow-body bass aptly named The Starbass II. The Star Bass II is a reissue of the venerable classic Framus Star Bass, linking past and future and Framus and Warwick companies in this one very unique model. The Warwick Starbass II cleverly merges the traditional hollow-body design of the Framus Star Bass with high-quality craftsmanship and modern technology.

Top and back of this future classic hollow body model are made of maple wood. The sides are solid maple. The glued neck (like the original Framus Star Bass) of the Warwick Star Bass II is made of Flamed Maple and it has a Wenge fingerboard. In order to get the Starbass II’s killer tone to the amplifier, Warwick outfitted the instrument with 2 passive MEC CRB single coil pickups. They deliver a full and warm sound without the characteristic single coil hum. Your ears will be amazed when they hear how defined and clean the bass lines play on this dream instrument!
