Warwick Star Bass II Pro Series

I just received my Warwick Pro Series Star Bass II, purchased through bassalien.com. Super guy to deal with, my first purchase from them. I noticed recently that the Star Bass II production is moving to China and will be placed under the Rock Bass group, is this true? No more Korean Star Bass Pro Series? I will report back with a full review of the bass once I've spent some time with it after the "honeymoon"

There's an official warwick guy down there somewhere. You can probably ask him.

It looks like the new RockBass 4 string version will be 32" scale length and will have a rosewood fingerboard as well as "24 Extra High Jumbo Nickelsilver frets" not sure if 24 is typo or they will have 24....

4OnTheFloor, thanks for the kind words. I'm trying to find out more info as well. The only other thing I saw is that the solid color ones say "curved body" as opposed to the flamed maple sunburst which says "flat body". Now I have to pull out the sunburst MIK to see if it's flat! I don't recall that, but I'll check. And the RB Star now says 21 frets on their website (like the Korean models).

I have some other info involving numbers, but PM me if you're interested because I'm pretty sure I can't post that here.

Just a quick update, the Korean Pro Series Star in sunburst is indeed a curved body on top and on the back, but the Chinese RockBass version will be flat for sunburst w/ flamed maple, curved for solid color.

Our apolgies for the errors on the website! The Rockbass Star Bass is 21 frets - 4 string is 32" scale and 5 string is 34" scale. They do have a curved body. Thanks!

No problem, and thanks for your patience. We had so many items going up before NAMM that a few errors were not corrected. They are fixed now. Please let me know if you've got any questions or need assistance in any way. Thanks again!
