LemonCello

40 something mainly rock inspired bassist looking to get jamming. Picked up the Bass again recently after a long lay off whilst I've been playing 'cello for various Orchestras. Had a few lessons and now ready to play covers for fun or gigs. Can travel around a bit so Cardiff/Valleys/Swansea would be ideal. Cheers, Gary

Hi Phat Master, I have a Corvette $$ natural oil. It's a 2007 model, all original, never gigged, no imperfections whatsoever. Huge fat sound from the two enormous double buckers. Have been thinking about selling for a while but not got around to posting yet. I will be advertising it (when I get my finger out) for circa £500 if you are interested. LemonCello

Did you manage to get your pick guard? I have a Squier VMJ and would like to change the pick guard also. Cheers

My worst bass ever was a 1970's Kay Rickenbacker copy. Am I being thick when I say I think it came from a Kay's catalogue??? Twas a long time ago, but it didn't put me off as I traded the 'Rickenplank' for some kind of Hondo, a shiny brown thing reminiscent of an Ercol sideboard! In fact, the action was so high you could fly a sideboard under the strings! Long break away from the Bass until I bought a black Aria SB600 in New Zealand of all places. Liked this a lot but sold it (idiot) to fund the purchase of a hard case for my 'cello. Am enjoying my two very different basses, Corvette $$ and VMJ and I have to admit I really have started to love the VMJ. Great neck, fat passive sound and faultless build quality. Have my eye on a '75 Jazz refin. Just a matter of time!!

Can someone give me a steer on a sensible ballpark figure to ask for my Corvette $$? It's a 2007 model, 4 string, natural, bolt on neck. Never gigged and in mint condition with Warwick Gig Bag and all the swing tags, wax, truss rod tool etc etc. Can't find a comparable 4 stringer here. Thanks guys

Played one of these recently. Shortscale and light, due to semi hollow body (no f holes though). Good looking thing too, wine red plus gold hardware, was quite impressed with the build quality. Shop wanted £350. LemonCello

I have been salivating at the thought of owning one of these or should I save myself £500 and get the American Standard??? In anticipation, LemonCello PS: If I do go for either I'll be selling my mint 2007 Warwick Corvette $$

Hi All, Been browsing this site for some time now and found lots of useful info here. Just got around to registering. Picked up the Bass again after many years playing 'cello with Cardiff Philharmonic. Watched last years (2009) Glastonbury and Alex James performance with Blur persuaded me to go get a Warwick Corvette $$. Having some lessons with Jon Caulfield here in Cardiff who is one hell of a Bassist. Looking to do some covers to play myself in and then see where it goes! LemonCello (Gary)
