    Posted · Edited by samcrabtree00

    Now - £750    £695  £650 ***NOW SOLD***   *Has been professionally set up by my luthier recently which I have receipt for*

    German Made Warwick Corvette Std (2008)

    I'm interested in trades as I currently own 2 Warwicks and will be keeping my SSII.

    Mostly looking for a good quality 5 String Jazz Bass (Fender, Sandberg etc) but interested in whats out there. Shoot me over a PM! 🙂

    I'm based in South Bedfordshire.

    Hey, @samcrabtree00 we were right:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-German-Warwick-Corvette-Standard-4-string-Natural-Bubinga-Passive-gig-bag/362233495494  £599

    Thanks I did spot that a few days ago but its passive unfortunately. I've decided to go for the GAK one I found. A bit pricey but professional set up and new strings worth £70. Also free next day delivery...Got it on finance for 6 months 0% APR which is more manageable at the moment.

     

    If I had more time I'd wait it out and find a better deal but needed a 2nd bass urgently. 🙂

    Lol yes the prices these days are insane for Warwicks from new. 

     

    I brought my SSII (shop demo) for 1000 US Dollars about 10 years ago which was a pretty good deal at the time. Think they were £1500 in the UK from new then.

    Corvette pricing has become a nightmare recently, what with "Rockbass" and "Pro" and all manner of others. It's frustrating to see prices of Rockbasses going up and catching up the German made basses. $$ Corvettes go for more than the normal ones; adding to the confusion.

    I agree with much of the above. £850 is a bit high. I had a 5-string bubinga. That weighed just over 5Kg. It's not something I'd want to have hanging on me for 2 hours. I got £850 for mine when I sold it. 

    Very true. Well they've reduced to £800 which includes a full set up and free delivery...

    Wunjo had a fiver in this config used up for just under £1K and it was in a right state - plenty of scuffs and almost unplayable. I recently picked up a high end neck thru Warwick for not a lot more than £1K so £800 for a bog standard bolt-on 4 sounds a bit much. The bubinga ones can weigh a ton, too, so make sure you try before you buy!

    Ive got a streamer stage II which is pretty heavy so shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just after a second bass I can practice with and use as a backup. I've had a Corvette before but Ash body and heard bubinga has a much deeper tone...
