I'm looking at photos of a 2005 Corvette Standard I'm interested in. It has the Dynamic Correction MEC pickups with silver lettering. He claims this is an active bass. Did Warwick use an active preamp with passive pickups at this time?

but i don't think it used the dynamic correction pickups. those are passive.
the active model should have gold lettering on the pickups, right?
Typically, yes. The giveaway would be the presence/lack of concentric knobs near the back of the body. If only 3 knobs, it's passive. If 4, it's active.
I looked closer at the photos, and that back knob is definitely single, not stacked. Thanks for the tip. Looks like he's misrepresenting this bass.
Can I join? 1988 Streamer...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bass!!!
My '91 and your '88 should be friends.

There was one guy back in the days on the warwick forums (avionix IIRC) that had made a Streamette 5 strings true the custom shop.
Hey guys I need your advice.
I have an opportunity to make a trade and acquire a 4 string Corvette $$ in Nirvana black. I've always wanted a Wick, but do you guys feel this is the right Wick to get?
Does the Corvette $$ (the German made one of course) have the potential to be a go-to 4 string?

It's actually a bolt on. I heard the story is they used old streamer bodies and cut the necks off to make these limited basses. Awesome tone though! Epitome body with maple top, not 100% but it sounds like it's chambered.
