My new Warwick Corvette Standard Fretless that I got last night. I got a used '04 one so it's got a Bubinga body and Ovangkal neck.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.

¿Numero por favor?

Yes,but it would have to ordered as a Streamer LX with $$ pickups,eq & the woods of your choice.
Thanks Humpy, that's exactly what I want, a Streamer LX6 with an ash body and maple neck combined with the $$ pup's/electronics package. Soundwise, will it have a more "traditional" vibe than my LX6?

PS. I love my S. LX6.

Hey Guys, I've had my Warwick Corvette Standard 6 since 2000, I'm pretty sure it's a 1997 model. It has the bubinga body and full Wenge Neck/Fingerboard.

I'll take a club number while I'm here, but I really need some advice regarding pickups and preamp for this thing. I know it came stock with basslines soapbars and MEC 2 band pre. Shortly before I bought it, it was modified with a Basslines 3 band pre (see additional hole drilled for fourth knob by the bridge).

While the bass doesn't sound bad, it certainly has a limited range of "good" sounds. I'm sure the pickups could be better as well as the preamp and since I have room for 4 knobs, I need to know what options others have used and liked.

I would like the bass to be more "open" sounding, more lows, broader mids and an overall thicker sound. Right now the sound is kind of scooped. The neck pickup doesn't have the low end girth I would expect and the bridge pickup doesn't have the thick midrange sound I would like.

Here are the pics, I need to know what brands and models of pickups would drop in and what some of your experiences with them have been. Same with the preamp, any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for all the help with the long winded question!!!
