Summary:
Up for trade is my beautiful 2004 Warwick Corvette Standard Fretless. I’m thinning the herd a bit and this one doesn’t get played as often as it should. While I have owned it, this bass has never been gigged or left my climate-controlled home studio. The figuring on the bubinga body is superb and the ovangkol neck and ebony fingerboard are rugged and straight with just a hint of relief (set up with 0.008”). While this bass is in great condition for being 20 years old, it isn’t perfect, so I classify its condition as "Very Good". I know I'm underselling its condition here, but the following areas are of note for the sake of 100% transparency. The two retention tabs are snapped off of the JAN2. This is pretty typical for Warwick basses of this vintage and is easily solved by installing a new JAN3 (which would be my plan if I were to keep the instrument). The fingerboard has indications of strings being present but is not grooved. Also, the glue joints in the neck layers near the headstock and (slightly) on the back of the body near the strap button are noticeable, also pretty typical of these early 2000s Warwick basses due to years of expansion and retraction of the wood. With all of that said, this bass is in great shape and plays and sounds amazing. Unlike a few of my other fretless basses, it’s only been strung with flat wound strings since I’ve owned it.
I recently cleaned and conditioned the fingerboard with F-One oil, waxed the body and neck, thoroughly cleaned all the hardware, and performed a full setup.
