Warwick Corvette std.

Are you sure your at the right forum?



Warwick Corvette is an acoustic guitar made of wood...

 

Btw. You should check up their real website



Www.warwick.de (in english) Much better plus it has the official forum!

 

I love my Corvette fretless I couldn't be happier with it. I'd love to have a fretted version as well but I think my next Warwick will be a neck thru, something

 

Yeah it was introduced to compete with the carbon fiber Rickenbackers.

 

I think you'll love it man. Warwicks are great for the musical styles you play, especially the Bubinga models. The bubinga has great growl and punch.

 

The standard bubinga corvette is the best deal in the warwick line. Most of the growl of the more highend wicks, but not quite the price.

They are the closest you will get to the warwick sound without dropping at least $2000+

No, no, no. It's a sports car with a great big V8 engine...

 

totally i got a fretless corvette as my first 'real' bass and i couldnt be happier with the quality (of course, that doesnt mean that i can play it well ).

 

Make sure you try before you buy. The neck is a tad chunky, and it's certainly not for everyone. Personally, I love it. Feels like a real solid bass and sounds awesome too. But I'd get the ash version if I were getting one.

 

As always I say go for the Corvette. I would go with bubinga again, even with the weight. I would love to get a fretted vette to match my fretless.

For the money I paid for mine ($750 new) I don't thing you could beat the build quality.

 

...You can get the older neck shape too, with an upcharge of course.

 

It's a very good bass imo. I've got an old model, and I love it. Reminds me of the Thumb I used to have in some respect. Lots of clarity and growl in the lows, similar feel. Go with a active preamp, and you'll get a versatile monster.

As for the neck, mine is a 96 wenge neck, and the neck profile is not slim. Their bolt on necks are on the thick side (think P bass, with flatter profile).

I was thinking of the Ash model originally, they are more towards the Fenders. Passive, they have a great natural woody sound (the one I tried).

Someone was kind enough to post sound clips.

I love my bubinga vette std 4 fretless.

I also got a 5 string vette std (swamp ash) but I ended up ditching it. Had some neck dive issues. Sounded good though. Maybe someday I'll get another.

 

Never mind the right forum.. are you sure you're on the right planet

The only current accoustic Warwick is the Alien Stage, and unless I just fell asleep for several decades all Warwick instruments are made of wood

Hence the motto "The Sound of Wood"

 

Someone missed the joke, guess whos it?
