An acoustic bass from the specialists

Warwick Alien Deluxe 5 Hybrid Thinline, five-string acoustic bass

Warwick has been one of Germany's go-to names for all things low-end for decades nows, and that expertise shines through once again in the Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe 5 Hybrid Thinline acoustic five-string bass. Premium woods with a transparent finish give this unique instrument both its elegant appearance and its expressive sound. And when needed, that sound can be amplified and shaped to taste thanks to the pair of onboard pickups – hence the name Hybrid – and the built-in preamp. The word Thinline is a reference to this instrument's most striking characteristic, namely its notably reduced body depth of only 80mm, which gives it an unheard of playability for an acoustic bass. Other highlights include the high-end hardware, a handy thumb rest, 24 nickel-silver frets, a generous cutaway, and a gig bag with tools included.

Two's better than one

The top of an acoustic instrument is crucial in giving it a balanced sound: The Warwick Alien Deluxe 5 Hybrid Thinline has one made from solid AA sitka spruce, a top-tier choice. The neck is crafted from mahogany, while the back and sides are walnut. Musicians have a full 24 frets at their disposal, while the wenge fingerboard is complemented by a bridge and thumb rest made from the same wood. The Thinline 5 has a full 34" scale length for a powerful sound, but a nut width of only 45mm – slim for a five-string bass – making it easy on the hands, especially combined with the equally ergonomic slim build. High-quality chrome hardware, produced in-house, includes Warwick's signature adjustable nut and security locks system. And even when the preamp is switched on, the Alien Hybrid remains authentically acoustic, thanks to the piezo pickup under the saddle and the NanoMag pickup in the fingerboard; both pickups and the NFX preamp are from the renowned manufacturer Shadow.

Play it on stage, take it anywhere

Since the late '90s at the very latest, an acoustic or unplugged set has been an essential part of every band's live repertoire. Of course, this means everyone – including the bass player – needs to bring along the right kind of instrument, one that looks the part and sounds it too. Luckily, the Warwick Alien Deluxe 5 Hybrid Thinline passes these tests with flying colours, with its luxe appearance and extended low end. The reduced body depth does mean that its sound is somewhat quieter when played acoustically; its ideal habitat is amplified on stage, which is exactly where the two Shadow pickups come in. Its slimline construction is also an advantage in terms of both playability and of course portability. With its attractive pricing and, more to the point, excellent value for money, the Alien Deluxe is a strong contender for consideration as an ambitious bassist's second or third instrument – certainly, it'll add something genuinely unique and useful to any collection.

About Warwick

Based in Markneukirchen, Saxony, Warwick, initially a manufacturer of premium basses, is known today for providing a wide range of music equipment in all sectors of the industry. The product range extends from bass guitars, bass amplifiers and cabinets (in all price brackets), bass strings and accessories, to effects units. In addition to this core business, the Warwick Distribution sales company offers almost everything that bass players, whether of four, six or even more string instruments, could require. Among them are the instruments of the Framus brand, which are remarkable for their consistently high quality. In addition to its headquarters in Markneukirchen, Warwick also has locations in Nashville and Shanghai.

How do you amplify an acoustic bass?

Amplifying any acoustic instrument is a serious challenge, especially a high-volume, low-frequency instrument like a bass guitar. Once it reaches a certain volume, unwanted feedback quickly becomes an issue, at frequencies which can even vary depending on the space it's being played in. To tackle this, the Warwick RockBass Alien Deluxe Hybrid 5 Thinline features a piezo pickup in the bridge and a magnetic pickup at the fingerboard: Rather than capturing sound waves, these pickups sense the vibrations of the top and the strings. Additional adjustments to the sound come courtesy of the Shadow NFX preamp, which offers individual tone controls for each pickup, so the mix between the two sources can be adjusted in minute detail. And if resonance frequencies start become a problem on stage, the preamp's phase switch provides a quick and effective fix.

Lockdown never sounded so good!
Evilcl0ne 05.05.2020
I finally managed to grab one of these due to saving cash on not having to commute during the lock down and I'm so glad I did.
I wanted an acoustic 5 string but one that was practical in size, the Thinline is thin enough to be comfortable and practical to play but still gives a warm round sound as you would hope.
The guitar itself is beautifully built and was set up perfectly with great action.
Overall great look, feel and sound

Awesome

I received another top notch Warwick instrument from the team at Thomann. Straight out of the box and a little tuning and the bass plays like a dream. The string height and intonation is spot on and the build quality is excellent, exactly what you expect from Warwick. I would definitely recommend this acoustic bass, and I will continue buying Warwick’s from my friends @ Thomann.

Klingt gut das Teil, hat aber Schwächen
Sterling 44 11.12.2019
Soundlich ist das Teil cool, wenn auch die H Saite deutlich leiser als die übrigen rüberkommt. Habe mich trotzdem entschlossen den Bass zu behalten. Leider war bei meinem Bass der Gurtpin für den Hals lose mitgeliefert, so dass ich erstmal selbst zum Bohrer greifen musste. Leider löste sich auch schon beim ersten Gig die Abstützleiste für den Daumen, die ich dann mit Sekundenkleber wieder befestigen musste. Ansonsten knurrt er schön und setzt sich im Bandgefüge gut durch, das Instrument ist gut bespielbar und das Gewicht ebenfalls ok. Überhaupt nicht zu verwenden ist der Piezo Pick Up der selbst bei geringer Beimischung so unglaublich viele Höhen in den Sound bringt, dass mein Mischer sofort verzweifelt ist. Das Teil ist bei mit nie aktiv. Man fragt sich, wozu ein Extra Output dafür eingelassen wurde.
