This Alien 5 NT FL LH is a serious instrument for the dedicated fretless player.

It's perfect for players seeking a refined, expressive acoustic bass experience – especially those in jazz, folk, or solo performance settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 26-inch radius provides a lower profile than some Warwick necks, making it feel more rounded and smoother for sliding, but it still retains that signature Warwick feel.
Yes, the Prefix Plus T is a widely used and supported system; parts are generally accessible, and many qualified technicians are familiar with its repair.
It’s a fairly loud acoustic bass – noticeably louder than most other acoustic basses I've played – but still benefits from amplification for larger stages or ensemble settings.
