simon1964 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Very nice bass, and a cracking price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 That is a very tasty bass indeed. Is it a colour oil finish? Looks like it has a tint, a very nice one at that. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Possibly the best all-round bass I've ever played, the $$. Thinking of getting another one at some point. Congrats on an excellent bass at an excellent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Me likey. A corvette $$ is my dream bass. I very nearly paid out for a Corvette Standard as a first bass because i fell for the shape as soon as i wondered aimlessly onto the Warwick site. It will be mine... Oh yes. It will be mine...

peted Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I have had success emailing Warwick a couple of times in the past for spare parts. If you tell them where you bought it from and how soon it happened after initial purchase then I'm pretty confident they will just send you a replacement screw for free. I would also slip into the email that you didn't receive the Warwick 'pack' with the manual, wax, and cleaning cloth as I'm sure the UK distributor would like to have words with the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
