A Teambuilt, German Warwick Bass
High-performance bolt-on neck
Anyone searching for a high-level playing experience owes it to themselves to pick up a Pro Series Corvette $$. For starters, this 5-string electric bass features a comfortable “C”-shaped ovangkol neck with head-turning ekanga veneer stripes. Its slick-feeling 26-inch-radius wenge fingerboard boasts 24 extra-hard, jumbo-sized, brass frets, along with Warwick’s acclaimed Invisible Fretwork Technology, which leaves two millimeters of wood on either side of the frets for unparalleled smoothness and outstanding vibrational transfer. This bolt-on beauty also includes Warwick’s legendary Just-A-Nut III tedur nut, which possesses outstanding vibration characteristics and facilitates impossibly low action for near-effortless playability. To top it off, the Pro Series Corvette $$’s neck includes steel reinforcement to safeguard against the dreaded buzz that often plagues the 12–24 fret region, along with fluorescent side dots for easy visibility — even on dark stages. Rock-solid Warwick machine heads round out the Pro Series Corvette $$’s outstanding features.Â
Thunderous MM-style humbuckers and active electronics
The Warwick Pro Series Corvette $$ is a thunderous beast, thanks to its passive MEC MM-style humbuckers. These hum-canceling, dual-coil pickups include a beefy ceramic magnet, yielding you phenomenal low-end punch and aggressive midrange growl. The bassists here at Irvine Art & Music appreciate the added sonic flexibility supplied by this bass guitar’s 2-way active preamp, which includes volume, balance, treble, and bass knobs. To top it off, the Pro Series Corvette $$’s pickups are mounted using Warwick’s proprietary system, which allows for a secure connection between the pickups and body, while enabling easy height adjustments.Â
