Frequently Asked Questions

Warwick fretless basses tend to have a slightly higher action than some other brands, requiring a bit more finger pressure, but the ebony fingerboard is incredibly smooth.
While active pickups can be prone to noise, Warwick's MEC J/J are generally well-shielded and produce a relatively clean signal, though careful gain staging is still recommended.
The ekanga primarily adds visual distinction, but its density contributes to the neck's overall stiffness and responsiveness, enhancing playability.
