Bootsy Collins is one of the most eccentric bass masters in the world. With his star-shaped basses, star-shaped glasses and laid back personality, Bootsy has won the hearts of funk fans around the world. His unique style of playing and unparalleled skills have granted him numerous signature basses with multiple brands, but Warwick`s Bootsy Collins signatures are something else. For the NAMM 2014, Warwick has launched the new version of the Space Bass. This time, it is an intermediate four-stringer made in China. It comes with a solid star-shaped body made of mahogany. Neck is bolted to the body and it is made of maple with ekanga veneer stripes. Bootsy Collins Space Bass is fit with the standard two-piece Warwick bridge and a set of two active MEC pickups (H/S configuration). Simple controls unit is installed with them. Maple/ekanga neck on this model is topped with a 24-fret fingerboard made of rosewood.
