Bass of the Week: Warwick Basses Vampyre NT
This week, we’re checking out a wicked Vampyre NT bass from the Warwick Custom Shop. The bass’s instantly recognizable body shape was crafted from a swamp ash body with a one-inch AAA quilted maple top. Finished in a satin Midnight Blue, the axe has a dark and mysterious aura.
Warwick continued the flamed maple theme in the neck, with ekanga veneer stripes and its fingerboard. Other features include a pair of active MEC J/TJ pickups, an active Warwick 3-band EQ with a rechargeable lithium battery, and Warwick hardware.
