Warwick Corvette Proline
- Thread starter LaPolicia
- Start date
I think the Corvette Proline is the best Warwick bass for the money. Not the best, but the best for the money. I love the way they sound and they are much lighter than most other Warwicks.
I was considering the proline but i got me vette yesterday and is so groovy. Is it used or new, becuase i thought the proline cost alot more than 800
Thats pretty wild...my local GC has one, same color and all tagged at abotu $1250...
Is it scratch and dent? Also, is that the price they quoted you, or do they have it tagged for 800? Where are you located?

I think the low-priced Proline has the single coil pickups, like a Fender Jazz. "Dynamic Correction" is what they call them, and the pickup should have a label printed on it with that name. I had one and the hum was worse than a Jazz bass and was really unbearable. An expensive lesson learned. If you want a Warwick, save up for one with the better active pickups.
std 'technically' but it's not really lesser...just different.
The basses are exactly the same minus the following:
Proline has a flamed maple body and comes stock with the active MEC 2 band p-ups.
The standard has a bubinga body, but comes stock with passive MECs...although, for like 100 or so, you cann upgrade to active P-ups. So if you like the active pickups of the proline more, but want a bubinga body...it can be had with an active Crovette std.
