=The Warwick Corvette Club=

[Linus27]

Hey all, can I join the club now? Last Saturday I picked up my brand new passive Warwick Corvette Standard in ash. Waited 20 years to get one and finally got there and WOW, what a bass. The quality and workmanship is stunning and the sound is something else. Even the gigbag came with a quality check sheet that was dated and signed. Plus, how a passive bass can have such an aggresive full sounding growl is beyond me. Truely amazing bass. My only issue is my other basses are a Stingray and a Fender Jazz and this is what I have played for 23 years. The Warwick has such a small body and a much longer neck so it feels a little odd and will take some time to get used to. I keep fretting on the 2nd fret when I want the 1st Anyway, very happy with my purchase and a big thanks to Warwick.

After weeks of lurking I finally get to join the club. I bought this 2008 Standard Active Bubinga off of the Guitar Center website. (I'm not crazy about buying from Guitar Center but they were having a 15% off sale so that knocked about 230 dollars of the price, I couldn't resist)

I've been playing bass since I was 14 but I feel like this is the first REAL bass I've ever owned. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Warwick really makes you feel good about buying their basses with the sturdy gig bag and binder that comes with it. I could not be happier. This bass makes me feel like a real bass player.

Here's a pic, I have a crappy camera but it'll have to do for now.


Being an '08 makes it German built doesn't it?

[Linus27]

Yes an 08 makes it German for sure. It also says made in Germany on the cover on the back.

[robeweise]

Oh yeah, I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Thanks.

[ectoflanger]

Nice bass Linus and congratulations on your new Warwick. I have an '09 made in Germany.

[Linus27]

Thanks ectoflanger, I am really loving it. I just checked the serial number on mine and its actually a 2010 I ordered it in November 2009 and got it the end of Januray 2010. With the move to Korea announced early 2010, mine must be one of the last batch made in Germany

[ectoflanger]

Did not have a clue about the Korea move on their main line of basses. It's a shock for me, I'm afraid.

Only the Corvette std will be built on Korea.

Hi there, guys!
I've been in the club for quite some time now, and I enjoy reading your posts and looking at the beautiful basses each of you own, but it seems I never really uploaded any pics, so here it is...my baby, my beloved...
my '97 'vette 5er (Active; Bubinga / wenge)

As someone said before...when I played it for the first time, it felt as if I had never held a real bass before...

A DragonBallZ sticker on the fingerboard... AWESOME! haha. I remember the first time I held my Corvette $$. I almost felt like I didn't deserve it!

[ectoflanger]

Beautiful bass!! I was also blown away the first time I played the std Bubinga vette!

[KineticX49]

Oh god, more pictures of that beautiful Wenge neck please :O

[Refbassist]

Proud owner of 96 Corvette Checks in

[EVOLVEBASS]

Yeah, baby! I agree, wenge necks rule!

Welcome, Refbassist...

Haha! A humble tribute to DBZ
Some people have felt the urge to set me on fire when they saw the sticker there, though.

Thank you for the comments, guys. Indeed, sometimes it feels as too much bass (but I'm still keeping it, lol ). The wenge neck plays like a dream, and has that warwick growl we all love. I'll be uploading some more pics soon.

[Refbassist]

^^^I concur
the neck is amazing,bass is amazing life is great
Thanks for the welcome Evolvebass

[Heliospan]

Ok People's here are some better pics of my vette. There not much better. But better then the i one i posted before.

[ectoflanger]

Very nice...

[Refbassist]

[TechJunky]

When did corvettes get 4 knobs like that? Isn't that a rockbass corvette?

[ectoflanger]

The ones with active electronics have (or had) four knobs.
