Since its inception in the early 1990s, The Alien acoustic bass has enjoyed an impressive career, owing in part to its distinctive appearance. However, its success is primarily attributed to its resonant body and exceptional tonal precision, making it suitable for dynamic expressive finger-style playing, as well as techniques such as slapping, tapping, and other percussive methods. The well-thought-out design incorporates elements from Warwick electric basses, such as the innovative Just-a-Nut construction, allowing it to perform exceptionally well with 5- and 6-stringed, as well as fretless basses. Depending on the tonewood used, The Alien produces a characterful, smooth, nasal tone that naturally evolves with richness, or can be faithfully reproduced through its high-quality pickup electronics.
