Mwoit Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have been eyeing up a fretless for a while for the lolz for the past few months. Not sure why, I just think it'd be cool to play around with one. So one night, after getting a few drinks, I message bagsieblue and managed to sort something. ... Group shot! Missing the Carvin though, it now lives at the studio. (The Carvin is an XB76, another 6er!) Schecter Loomis C-7 NT, Warwick Corvette Proline, Ibanez S540 (oddly enough, also 1992) and a Dingwall ABZ6. This is a 1992 Nirvana Black Warwick Corvette Proline 4 string bass, with an all Wenge neck. This is the first for many things such as: fretless, Warwick, flatwounds and 4 stringer (that was decent!). It's an absolute breeze to play but staying in tune is another matter. The neck is smooth as and the Wenge feels fantastic. The body has a bit of battle scar scratches on it which contributes a bit of character to the bass; the overall dark aesthetics of this bass is a nice change from my many maple instruments. First real post on this forum that's not a sale one. Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's a nice bass that Warwick, Mr BB very kindly let me have a noodle on it along with a number of his other Warwicks. Enjoy the fretessness, it's addictive I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yep - nice bass. Sad to sell it but wasn't really being played and planning to fund other things...... Enjoy...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have the fretted version, a 1995. Love everything about it. Probably the best value for money instrument I've bought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
