[b]German Made Warwick Corvette Natural Ash[/b] (Passive Pickups & Active Pre-amp) 1 year old!! I purchased this new on 15th May 2010, and is in an "as new" condition, apart from a small chip of wood by one of the neck screws. It was there when I purchased it, but I did not notice it for some time later (god knows how). But as it hardly notices, I decided not worry about it, but for the sake of being honest, I want to point it out. Other than that, the bass is in fantastic condition and has never been gigged or left the house. It has that great Warwick sound as you would expect, and it is one of the last GERMAN made Corvette Standards. This sale includes the Premium gig bag and maintenance pack, that came with the bass. It cost me £900 just under a year ago, so at £495 this is a bargain! Reason for selling? I'm getting nagged to offload a few of my basses, and as I have two corvettes, one has to go.

I've owned many basses over the last few years, including USA precisions & jazzes, Warwicks, Musicman, etc. A bad back forced me to buy a lighter bass, and I went for a SR500. I love it so much now, that it's the only one I ever pick up, apart from the SR505 I added a few weeks later. They are great basses, worth far more than they cost IMO, and deliver all the sounds you will ever need for playing all kinds of music.

[quote name='spaz91' post='1249797' date='May 29 2011, 11:36 PM']How old was Sting in 1956. [/quote] He was five, but I read somewhere that he was a very early starter! Don't get me wrong here, I'm not doubting the authenticity of the bass, but it does seem a bit odd to see so much wear, that high up on the dusty end of the board?

I'm on the lookout for a Precision, and was wondering, does a Precision Lite give that typical P thump/tone? The fact that it is lightweight appeals to me, as I have back/neck problems.

I've just ordered some ER20's too! £7.45 including delivery on eBay. These could be the "new" Sue Ryder on BC, as everyone rushes to buy them.

[quote name='prog_fiend' post='1222486' date='May 6 2011, 06:51 PM']Got it in the post yesterday - so far, wow! Extreme squash and sustain, just like I wanted. I'm gonna put it through its paces with my 6 string, my 12 string tapper and a fretless. Should get some sound clips up soon. [/quote] I will look out for your review and clips. Cheers

It normally take me around twenty minutes to get all my gear set up and running, whilst the drummer takes about an hour, and the lead guitarist takes forever farting around with all his gear, and I would imagine this is pretty much the norm for most bands. So why would you want to tune up at home, when you have so much time to kill, you could tune up over and over again while you are waiting. And you can have one last tweek as you take the stage, with a floor tuner permanently plugged in, takes around thirty seconds. Buy yourself a tuner!

[quote name='Gareth Hughes' post='1217378' date='May 2 2011, 11:42 AM']Hey folks - just saw this on the TC Electronics site and it made my cold cynical heart inch up a degree or two. I hadn't heard of Simon Vignola before, so I'm probably coming late to the party. I'm digging the chops making a nice tune, not just nice chops. Enjoy: [/quote] Just a pity that he's not playing live! -
[quote name='graz66' post='1217311' date='May 2 2011, 10:52 AM']Mystery solved I was going to add that there is no silk thread at the bridge end of the string, if that helped at all [/quote] No silk thread at the bridge end, so definitely La Bella Deep Talkin' Flats 760FX. Cheers everyone.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1217290' date='May 2 2011, 10:28 AM']La Bella Deep Talkin' Flats 760FX have orange/terracotta silks. They are extra light 39-56-77-96. Does that sound convincing?[/quote] Thanks mate, I guess that's what they are, as I've just found the old packet for them. They are great sounding strings IMO. Thanks for all the help guys, it's taken just over an hour to solve the mystery. I new I could rely on you Bass Chatters out there.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1217236' date='May 2 2011, 09:41 AM']That's definitely terracotta rather than red? It's not a trick of the camera?[/quote] Most definitely terracotta (flower pot colour), which hopefully, should make them easier to recognise.
