Attention!!!
If the string gauge is thicker than .125” we strongly recommend using tapered core strings. Otherwise the string
won’t fit in the ball end holder. Warwick Red Strings Electric Bass Stainless Steel with tapered core are available as
single strings with .130” gauge (42130 TC) or .135” gauge (42135 TC).
5) Pickups
All RockBass
®
models are equipped with pickups by German manufacturer MEC (Music Electronic Company)
exclusively. This continuing collaboration brings new ideas to market and delivers high quality.
More information at: http://www.mec-pickups.de
Factory setup:
The factory setup for the pickups is such that pressing the lowest and highest string at the highest fret will create a
distance of 2 mm between strings and pickup
