Not sure if this has been discussed here. But Warwick has begun making a signature model for bassist Jeroen Thesseling of Obscura/Pestilence fame. The bass will be a Thumb NT 7-string fretless.
As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) this will be Warwick's first 7 string model.

Very cool!
My First Wick....
Yesterday I scored a very rare black marble stone finish standard Corvette, made in 1996.
I got a response from Hans Peter Wilfer at warwick.de via email to my serial number request. As stated there were only 50 to 60 units produced with this finish. Quite rare were his exact words.
It's almost new and not a scratch to be found. Very little fret wear or crowning, no dead spots, no buzz. Just tone, growly and smooth as buttah!
I bought this because the neck was amazing, and the finish intrigued me. Smooth skinny and nothing like any of the Warwick's I had picked up prior. That, and I scored a great price on it.
Thanks Colonel. It's my only bass right now. On my wish list is the 5string NT Thumb w/Bartolini's. Some day soon!

I just picked up a Corvette standard 5 string in a trade and I was wondering if anyone knew if the string spacing was adjustable. It seems pretty tight. I didn't see this mentioned in the users manual.
you can make adjustments at the bridge. you need to loosen the locking screws on each saddle so they can be moved side to side. The manual I have shows how to do it, and you can download the PDF if yours doesn't.
Here is my new fretless!!

That Corvette is a real beauty! What year is it?
