Fender American Deluxe P Bass Vs Warwick Standard Corvette Active

Some one approached me to exchange my Fender P Bass with his Warwick Standard Corvette. Both are with active electronics. My hands are not big that I always found it difficult for me to play my P bass for a long time actually. Just thought that whether I should make the deal to exchange it to the Warwick....:hmm:

I like the sound of my P Bass but just the neck is not narrow & thin enough for a long gig. The music that we play is blues rock & heavy rock. Do you suggest for the exchange ?

What are the major differences between the Fender P bass & the Warwick Convette in terms of sound & playability ?
 
Just before people start saying warwick's got baseball bat necks:

THEY CHANGED THE PROFILE OF THEIR NECK TO A SLIMMER C SHAPE PROFILE (think pre 98, wenge necks profile).

But, for your musical choices, I'd go with the deluxe P. A corvette for blues would be kinda weird and the bridge pickup and neck pickup can handle easily the heavy rock thing. The deluxe P is a very nice bass and I'm sad they don't make them in 5 anymore because I would have wanted one.
