I recently got this Corvette from another TBer. I've practiced on it, and I've used at band rehearsal. I really like the tone and the ability to switch from active to passive.
I have issues with the weight - it's a little over 10 lbs - and I'm not a fan of the neck.
Warwick Corvette Standard 5 Active. Made in Germany (2004) - bubinga body, ovangkol neck, wenge fretboard (the pattern is amazing), 2 MEC jazz-style pickups, Warwick tuners, 2 piece bridge and preamp.
34" scale, 18mm string spacing (can be adjusted at bridge), 10.2 lbs, no fret buzz - just slapped a set of D'Addario Nickel Rounds on it.
Cosmetically, there's a ding just above the neck pup. Small ding on the back of the headstock. First couple of frets show some wear and the pups look 'rubbed'.
Sounds fantastic, but like I said, the weight, the neck is not for me. Great looking bass.
Looking to trade for a Spector Rebop 5DLX FM. Plain natural is out. If it has flame maple or burl pattern or oil that's ok. Otherwise, no natural. Please post any reasonable trade offers!!
Comes with a Levy's gig bag and a Comfort Strapp with Dunlop StrapLoks.
