    Up for sale is my much-loved and well-cared-for 1997 Warwick Corvette Standard. This beauty has been a joy to own, but it's time to let her go to fund new projects. This is one of those basses that just fits, perfectly balanced on a strap, incredibly comfortable neck, and low, buzz-free action. It sounds fantastic, with that unmistakable Warwick growl and clarity, and sits beautifully in any mix across a wide range of genres. These days she’s more of a case queen, as I haven't played much recently. As such, a basic setup and pot clean may be needed. Specs & Features Model: Warwick Corvette Standard Made in Germany – January 1997 (Serial No: A‑034719‑97) Body: Solid Bubinga with natural oiled finish Neck/Fretboard: Bolt-on Wenge neck and Wenge fretboard 24 frets 34″ scale Brass “Just-a-Nut I” adjustable nut Electronics: Passive MEC (Volume, Balance, Tone) Pickups: MEC J/J single-coil configuration Hardware & Mods Fitted with genuine Warwick black hardware (bridge, tuners, control knobs) for a sleek, professional look Original chrome hardware included in case you prefer the classic aesthetic Condition: Very Good (8–9/10) Minor cosmetic mark on the back of the body Light playwear patch between the neck and neck pickup (under the G-string) — purely aesthetic Overall very clean and well cared for Weight: Approx. 4.3–4.8 kg — typical for Bubinga/Wenge builds Included Extras Sandberg gig bag Leather strap Original Warwick locking strap buttons (fitted) Price & Collection £750 Open to reasonable offers from serious buyers.

    Interesting how the slab body precision there came back up for sale so quickly….

    I don't think the original Portaflex was that nice: heavy and underpowered. My bass teacher had one, but was always driving it very hot, and then the fuse blew. Once he used a bigger fuse and the x-former melt. Decent sound, but not for gigging. I would see studio use as the only feasible option.

    My local rehearsal spot has some kind of TC amp in there. I hate it. It's underpowered and it either goes "booooom" with indistinct bass or it disappears. I wouldn't buy one, but I am aware there is brand heritage that is sadly not being lived up to.

    Bought in the hope i could get away with 30 all valve watts but unfortunately not. Brand new JJ EL84’s fitted and comes with a spare set of EH valves. Really nice amp and tone to die for - if i could have this tone with more power id be in heaven! Collection from Bolton or could do a meet up. Could cut a deal if you want the ABM 4x10 ive also advertised on here. Would consider part ex for a Cali 76 Bass compact

    Not sure what you mean. If you mean "how come the mixed feelings" its because there seems to be a modern trend to ruin otherwise awesome Mustangs with a J pickup. If you mean "how come you don't like PJ" its just because it never works for me. The J is too weedy/too noisy/too unnecessary/just doesn't balance. I am a huge fan of Jazz basses - its P, or JJ, or go home IMO!

    I have never really used reverb on bass before. I have played with the TC Infinite as a practicing tool and thats where I first tried it. So I think reverb can sound great but it has its place and like you said above it has to be subtle, less is more type of thing. I think it sounds great and I am planning to use it with fretless and one of the bands I play in is a country band and in the more slow and more accustinc songs I was hoping to add subtle reverb. As in the sound I dont have much to compare to (I have Wampler Ethereal for guitar mostly but I did try it on bass just to see if I would want to explore it further) and I think its great. I like it that I can mix the signals and then the size of the reverb. I do find the bass and treble subtle but I need to explore it more. But it really does add that something in quieter songs. Now the extra features, I really like the 'Size' and I can see myself exploring that. Build up sound scapes etc. The one I can see myself using is having the 'Exp' knob at 12 o'clock which allows you to play a note and it slowly trails off as you build up other sounds as you add if that makes sense. Fully clockwise its infinite which can sound really interesting such as ending songs etc. I am still trying to figure 'In Lvl' out and I have emailed Taylor about it. I thought it was like the TC Infinite, you could play a note/chord and that would sound infinite and you could then play over it but its not the case or at least I am not able to recreate it. But for the sound and the 'Size' function its a keeper for me.

    I didn't go on Friday but I've seen them a couple of times before - once at Band on the Wall as just a two piece, and then before that at Brudenell in Leeds with a couple of extra musicians (one of which was Sam Wilkes on bass). I enjoyed it both times - Louis Cole is an absolute phenomenon.

    I had one and used it for years. It was during my time playing on the Americana circuit, as well as doing a bit of old school rock 'n' roll. In fact, I seem to remember I used it in a CCR tribute band too. It held up against the loudest drummer & guitarist that I have ever worked with. In the Americana band I tended to be on volume 2 1/2 and coming through nicely and with the louder guys I was nearer volume 5 or 6. I tended to put Fender basses through it and run it through the matching PF cab (the 4x10, 2x10 or 1x15 at different times). Plenty of old school thumb. It's heavy for what it is but because it is small, it is light - if that makes any sense!?! I sold mine on here a few years back and mine would have been when they first came out. Looking at my Basschat pics, I must have had it for years as this was around 2018 so I must have run it for a good 4yrs.

    Aha! They call it a 'carefully aged' Road Worn finish. So maybe it's meant to look old, but pretty well looked after?
  24. DF Shortscale
    That’s probably the nicest way to handle it, I agree. Although one big issue that sticks out is that the song will potentially be played to an international audience who are at least in part going to be from those lands far away. Doesn’t sit right with me at all..

    That's what I thought, too. Fiesta Red looks beautiful without it anyway.
  27. HeadlessBassist
    Oddly enough, I was thinking the same thing, Andy. There doesn't seem to be any damage on them. The tuning keys look a little tarnished, but I didn't see any chips or carpark gravel rash in the video. I'll look at Fender's demo in a while...
  28. Dazm66
    Pretty much 1kg less than the new bass!

    Is it me or do they not seem particularly Road Worn?
  31. HeadlessBassist
    If it's a copy of a 60's bass it'll be a glossed neck, but the nitro finish neck gloss that everyone seems to hate will probably be mostly missing as it was on my RW Flea Jazz. I'm lucky to not get sweaty hands, so it's never bothered me.

    Spotted this on Instagram this morning. The Charcoal Frost looks great, but I'd want to check out the neck on it. I know everyone was a big fan of the original road worn models from 10 or years ago but I had the 50s precision neck on a build and I really didn't get on with the finish on the back.

    PRICE DROP NOW £220!!! Here’s my TC Electronic RH450 in used condition. Everything works perfectly - this is a proper workhorse of an amplifier, and small/light enough to use as a backup when gigging. Collect from Chesterfield (5 mins from M1 J29) or I can post for an additional £15. Cheers! Sam
