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 RB Alien Standard 4 acoustic 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 onboard pickup and built-in preamp. The Alien Standard 4's 32" scale length strikes a sweet spot between power and playability, and some 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. Considering the features and build quality, the Warwick RB Alien Standard 4 LH acoustic bass offers left-handed bassists excellent value for money.
The top of an acoustic instrument plays an absolutely crucial role in giving it a balanced sound – so on the Warwick RB Alien Standard 4 NT LH, it's made from solid sitka spruce, a top-tier choice. The neck is crafted from mahogany, while the back and sides are made from agathis, also known as kauri spruce. Left-handers 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 for a consistent look and feel. The Alien Standard 4 features a slightly shorter 32" scale length and a nut width of 38.5mm, making it especially easy on the hands. High-quality chrome hardware, produced in-house, includes Warwick's signature adjustable nut and security locks system. And if this acoustic Alien's volume isn't quite enough, the built-in Sonicore piezo pickup and Sonitone preamp, both from Fishman, will be happy to help.
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 RB Alien Standard 4 passes these tests with flying colours, but it's not just built for the stage – it's also perfect for backyard acoustic sessions or simply jamming on the beach, since there's no need to rely on power outlets for amplification. Thanks to its relatively compact size, the Alien acoustic bass is easy to transport, making it a great travelling companion. With its attractive pricing and, more to the point, excellent value for money, the Warwick RB Alien Standard 4 NT LH is also a strong contender for consideration as an ambitious left-hander's second or third instrument – certainly, it'll add something genuinely unique and useful to any collection.

Warwick covers all the bases, basses, and bassists – even the lefties! – when it comes to gear and hardware, which includes a matching gigbag right out of the box here. But the German manufacturer also has plenty more tech for this Alien, starting with amplification: The compact combos from the BC series range from 10W all the way up 150W, offering plenty of power and superb sound for home use, rehearsal spaces, or smaller venues.
