Warwick quality...

I'll jump in... LOVE my Corvette (passive standard 5)... It sounds great & feels great to play. Yep, the quality is outstanding. My only problem with it is not a problem with the bass at all, but my own limitations.

I have a pinched nerve and there is just something about this bass that exacerbates it. Every now and then my plucking hand goes numb and I simply can't play. I do not ever have this problem with any of my short scales.

My Corvette isn't really very heavy, and I do have a nice Neotech strap that makes it feel even lighter. My left shoulder does get sore with the longer reach after a while, but the pinched nerve is on the right side.

Still trying to figure this out; in the meantime I'm afraid to gig with it! :crying:

Chiropractor saved my a$$. Took 3 months on weekly sessions, physical therapy and massage therapy but I'm good as new. It'll cost ya but it's worth it. You only get one body.
 
[/QUOTE]the thing is ...as you go up the warwick neck ...it's not as thick as it looks because of the contour and flattening of the neck ...it's really quite comfortable as you climb the neck[/QUOTE]

I never really thought about it, but yeah. That's totally it! I love my streamers!
