rockbass

Posting this in case it helps anyone else - I bought a (barely) used 2010 Rockbass Corvette, active pickups and preamp. Note - I’d been playing nothing but a piezo-equipped Turner Renaissance for the last 8 years, so my ‘wick knowledge was rusty… After setup the bass played very well indeed...

Hello Folks, I'm owner of an acoustic db, I'm interessted by an EUB ( not too exepensive) for some gigs and venues ( easiest to "manage", transport, amplification etc etc ) . I'm ok with the fact " that It will never sounds like a acoustic). I like the triumph concept,I'm considering also the...

Hey guys, this is my first post. I've been playing in a band for almost a year now, unfortunately I've been using somebody else's bass because I don't have my own, yet. I'm about to buy a used Rockbass Corvette Basic Active 5, and I've been reading like crazy about Rockbass Basses cause I'm a...

I purchased a brand new Rockbass Fortress 4 String recently and have had a lot of problems out of it. I can go into detail if I need to, but the reason I am here is to ask what I should do, or who I should contact. I paid almost $900.00 for this bass and the fact that I am having so many...

Thinking about changing the pre amp in my new Corvette Rockbass Premium 5 string. I really like the bass but the active electronics are a bit noisey and quite middy. Was looking at the Bartolini 3 band with mid frequency sweep. Any one ever try this combination with the stock MEC pickups? Or...

Thinking of installing a Bartolini 3 band active/passive pre amp and all pots with the MEC golds im my 2013 Rockbass Corvette premium. Anyone on here try this c I mbo or something similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok we can scratch that old thread cos HERE IT IS. FIVE months....to get this. I'm going to put Ernie Ball slinky Cobalts on him....I've got those on the vette and i really like them. Ok onto the exciting unboxing pictures! My oh my, what can this be? This box is giving birth...

Hi guys, Im new to this forum and have a question that someone might have previous experience with. I have just enough saved for the warwick rockbass corvette basic 5 string active that I have wanted for a long time and a case for it. My question is do either of the cases (RC10805B or RC...

Hello! I didn't manage to find similar topic, so please, don't hit me if there is one already. I'm going to buy "rockbass" vampyre bass, and I wonder, what is the difference between bass with "W" logo and "Rockbass" logo. Is there any quality difference, different electronics or else...

Chapter One: Shortly after receiving my brand new Rockbass I decided it would be a good idea to change out the strap lock buttons. I had both read about and seen the nightmares of failed stock strap locks and decided I wasn't going to be the next victim of an accidental push button malfunction...

This is something i've been thinking of for a while. Is there a travel bass out there that doesnt play like a cricket bat with strings on it and sounds worse? I have seen a couple that are truly firewood. I travel a fair bit for work, and camp a lot and would love to beble to roll up a bass in...

Just got a new, to me, Rockbass Corvette Double Buck. Seriously great quality for the money. The only issue is that the pickups sound muffled and seriously lack high end. Is this just the way the MEC pickups sound or is there an issue with them or the wiring? I am considering replacing them with...

Hey everyone long time lurker first time posting, have recently bought a RockBass Corvette $$, i am looking to do some mods to the electronics to enable the same functionality as its German brother. Thought this would be a great place to seek some advice and maybe hear from others that have done...

My Rockbass Fortress (2010, 4-string) has an issue around the pickup. The upper P pickup's screws at the top and bottom are very loose. I usually rest my thumb on top of this one and there's a small groove worn into the wood from it, but my bigger issue is the screws. Sometimes after a couple...

What do you think? I've wanted a bass that looks like Chris Squire's modified Electra Outlaw MPC X610 for quite a while, but with the cost of getting a body made being about £300 from any decent luthier, it was a bit prohibitive. But my mate Adam agreed to make one for me for the cost of...

I will shortly be buying a RB corvette $$ 5 string as my 7 string is just too hard to slap on and the warwick/RB sound has caught my ear. The one thing I wanted to inquire about before purchase would be the EQ. I just noticed that the corv $$ is a passive bass. I would really like to make...

Hello guys, I'm looking the wiring diagrams for this bass (please look the pics) The code on the top is: sn rb k 007424-02 Someone can help me ? :roll:

So, the thing is, (yep I'm still overly excited about getting my new rockbass like a little girl) Musicstore had, until recently, listed in their website, all the new rockbasses. I think some were already for sale but, the ones I'm awaiting, the Vampyre and the Alien, had expected arrival dates...

So, what I'm asking is: buying a new 2010 rockbass anywhere, what does the package bring (besides the bass obviously lol). Basic stuff like hardware keys (or whatever they are called)? Maybe a gig bag? :p or a strap.. (that would be nice) Anyway, if anyone could clear that up for me. Btw...

I was told it was the Rockbass Corvettes, and that they start at around $600. Just verifying that is the most inexpensive. :)
