Dan_Nailed Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Selling this for Lee formerly of Ebony Lake. He bought it for £450 in 2008 but hasn't used it at all, it was a recording bass that he didn't actually record with and now he's asked me to sell it. It's the 5 string Corvette Basic with active electronics, this being treble boost/cut and bass boost/cut, volume and blend. Passive MEC Jazz pickups. The guitar is basically new, with no belt rash, no scratches, plastic still on cavity cover and the Warwick Black Label strings still have their zing. It really is immaculate. Also included is a Gator hardcase, and I reckon a fair price for the bass + case is [b]£300[/b]. Shipping will be about £20 but I'd rather come and meet you with it for petrol money, unless you can come to Greater Manchester and pick it up for nowt.

WHUFC BASS Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks mate. If it was Korean, I would probably have had this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 5-string natural coloured one with what looks like an ash body. Absoloutely great sound out of it and I want one in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2002 issue of Bass Player with the review of this bass in says Made in China in the tech specs. Anyway, what's the difference in quality, if there even is one between Asian manufacturers these days. EDIT: Also you wouldn't get an ash-bodied Rockbass in black - the solid gloss finishes use alder bodies so it wouldn't sound quite the same.
