Now £600

It is with great regret that i am having to put this up for sale/trade but my back just cant cope with it any more, even though i'm only 25, even more gutted because i just love the tone that comes from it. I have had a good scout over and the only flaws i can see are some very light scuffs (buckle rash?) on the back barely visible due to the fantastic wood figuring and the scrapes around the truss rod cover where a previous owner has obviously had difficulty removing it.

Excuse the poor photos only taken on my phone in a bit of a hurry can try and get some better ones if anyone needs any.

If anyone is interested you are more than welcome to come and have a look/play (based in Salford Quays).

Currently has an old set of 45-130 elixirs that i have put back on but still some life left in them. Dunlop straplocks will be replace with standard strapbuttons prior to sale. I think they are warwicks version of strap locks but the bass arrived to me without the straplocking part.

As I said on your status thing the other day, I'm in the same boat as you, tonally it's an amazing bass but the weight is definitely a factor to consider when buying this!

I own 2 corvette in the past, 4 string and 5 string both sounded fantastic. The 4 string have EMG pickup and John East pre and the 5 string have bartolini pickup and John East pre. Both have a monster of tone but weight and kinda unbalance neck put me off.

If those things doesn't bother you, then is a bargain of a bass to grab.

I always think 5 string corvette sounded much better then a 4 string corvette.

Beautiful bass though, spot dearer than what you paid for yours ;)
