Warwick has announced that six string fretless bass pioneer STEVE BAILEY now proudly endorses Warwick basses.
"Steve’s work as a solo artist, author, clinician, and collaborator with such renowned artists as DIZZY GILLESPIE, PAQUITO D'RIVERA, JETHRO TULL, WILLIE NELSON and VICTOR WOOTEN is the stuff of legend. Steve Bailey’s innovative artistry and diverse career amplifies our legendary artist roster."Six string, fretless, and built for a master, the new Steve Bailey Signature Bass features bolt-on construction and a 34” inch scale length. The US swamp ash body based on our classic Streamer model is modified for better access to the upper notes. The aptly titled Steve Bailey Asymmetrical Neck Profile partnered with an oil finish ovangkol neck and snakewood fingerboard provides an ease of playability never before seen on a six string fretless bass.
Warwick’s exclusive 2 piece bridge is specifically routed from brass to provide extra resonance. Seymour Duncan active Soapbar pickups in the neck and bridge and Seymour Duncan Steve Bailey active 2 way electronics provide its sonic punch. It's black high polish finish and polished stainless steel pickguard makes this bass a visual stunner.
