Hi,
A German Warwick will usually have a Wenge or Wenge/Ovangkol neck (depending on its vintage) and usually a premium body wood - (Ovangkol, Bubinga, Flamed Maple, Swamp Ash etc). They will also have better electronics. They sound superior as a result of this.
The Rockbasses are made in East Asia, usually with Maple/Rosewood necks, an Alder body and cheaper hardware and electronics.
All the info on the models can be found here.

If it's a Corvette you are after I'd you might want to hold out for a second-hand Warwick Corvette on the "For Sale" board - they can be bought for very reasonable prices. If you want to buy a new one then Thomann are doing a good price on Corvettes at the moment:-

If you want to buy a Rockbass then you should wait untill next year when they release the new Rockbass range. These will ditch the nasty "Rockbass" logo and have a two piece bridge like the German models.
Hope that helps!

I know the Rockbass is the cheap end, but what makes the range get more expensive?[/quote]
