Warwick is proud to acknowledge its new affiliation with Robert Trujillo. In honor of this momentous occasion Warwick will be issuing a Robert Trujillo Streamer Signature Bass. The bass itself will feature a quicksilver or turquoise blue chrometone finish, giving it a metallic shine that, like Rob, demands center stage on any gig. The increased mass of the neck, special nut width and active EMG pickups and Bartolini 3-band electronics invite you to play at full throttle. The neck and body are both made of Maple, lending it an incredibly tight tone. Even the fastest licks and heaviest chords, for which Rob is notorious, are clear and powerful. Rob especially likes the comfort and the sleek design of the body which makes you become one with the resonance of the instrument.
Growing up in Venice Beach, California, the surf-loving Trujillo was influenced by multiple musical genres, which included everything from Led Zeppelin to Motown and a chunk of funk in between. By his early twenties Trujillo had developed a rhythm and a vibe uniquely his own. He met Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies via his buddy, Suicidal guitarist Rocky George, and thus began a rich and fruitful relationship that saw Rob establish himself as one of the most exciting bass talents in the rock world. In the '90s, he helped form the experimental funk-rock band Infectious Grooves, joined Ozzy Osbourne's band and by 2003 had become the bassist in the mighty Metallica. Then-producer Bob Rock was heard saying how “complete and unequivocally whole the band sounded” with Rob playing.
