Frequently Asked Questions
Bubinga is denser and harder than Ash or Alder, resulting in a more focused and articulate low-end with less sustain, but a tighter, more controlled sound.
While active pickups can be prone to noise, Warwick's MEC pickups are generally well-shielded and known for their relatively low noise floor, especially when properly grounded.
Bolt-on construction offers a different feel – snappier and more responsive – than a multi-piece neck, but doesn't inherently compromise stability or sustain; it's a design choice impacting feel more than structural integrity.
