Just picked up a Warwick rockbass corvette basic active 4 string for $288.72 + ($11 ship) via price matching through Music123. Matched price was $374.95 at zzsounds if anybody is looking for a deal on one of these. Will see how well the neck fits compared to my esp( pretty thin). Played one at the local GC and the sound was pretty good through a markbass rig.

Yeah I'm kinda anxious to finally have a 2nd bass around to down tune on, kinda tiring going back and forth with one bass. I will have to put off the ibanez sr700/750 I was really wanting later on, as I'm sure my bass collection will grow...sooner than later I'm hoping. :)

I bagged one of the ones AMS had for $199.99, which is materially the same as these except for the old-style Warwick bridge.

I was playing it tonight. It's an exceptionally nice bass in terms of build and detail, though I'm not a Warwick Corvette kind of guy. Full German kit throughout, same as the German Corvette -- incredible buy.

I bought a Invalid Link Removed for $273 shipped yesterday and it's on its way, but it's a passive, which I much prefer.

The Corvette Rockbass is surprisingly heavy. Looks like it should way about six pounds -- guess again! :p

The warwick rockbass corvette showed up today. Not bad. Definitely much lighter than my ESP bass. Seems to have a little neck dive to it. The pickups and sound are great, much hotter sounding than the emg-35hz's I have in the ESP bass and alot more punch. Setup was ok..strings are quite a bit higher than I typically like and neck isn't as smooth as some. I don't think I would call it a $749 bass like MF has posted on their website but pretty good deal for the price I paid.

the new rockbasses are excellent. i was able to purchase a 4 string corvette from a fellow TB'er for a great price and i've got to say, i'm quite impressed. it plays beautifully and is easy on the shoulders. it's replaced my fender j.
