Look out for them in the next Black Friday sale.

Once it has been pointed out you can't unsee it. Perhaps I'm too smutty but I can't understand why everyone doesn't notice that and think it'd be a bit embarrasing to be seen on a stage with. Along with Gus and some of the Spectors. I mean, it might be practicle but it isn't subtle! ....and MM Bongo's look like toilet seats.

Well I never said it was a good deal! If I wanted a Corvette again (and I think I might, loved my old one) I'd just get a used German one for around £500. Warwick pricing is weird but they do seem to sell basses and have distinctive designs. 3 hours ago, SumOne said: Lower horn looks like a marital aid, upper horn looks like it's about to be twisted into a balloon animal. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have found myself, through no great scheme, with three Corvettes. I agree that the top horn is a bit damn strange, my band called my Dingwall 'The Purple Dildo' so you can imagine the mirth when the Corvette arrived! 😁 To be fair though, great basses and my (secondhand) German 5 string has subsequently been dubbed 'Really cool' by the drummer...high praise indeed. They don't look so 'Anne Summers' once they are 'strapped on'....ooer....😘 Edited November 25, 2022 by redbandit599 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsyboy Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) some of the comments on here about the price are a little strange and a bit unfair - I think the price may be a tad high but look at the build quality of these and then consider what you pay for a Fender Custom Shop guitar or Bass nowadays. You get what you pay for in my experience. Agree that the Andertons demo was stinky poo - especially the 4 string. And not knowing what you are demo'ing is pretty bad. Better to look at Warwicks own offering on you tube. Edited March 25, 2023 by Wellsyboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Nothing to add as far as goes for the bass, but it's funny how you can really tell Cici listened to a lot of Tool and Justin Chancellor in her bass playing (even despite that fact that she doesn't use a pick). That was my first thought, and then got it confirmed by the thumbnail after the video ended of that video with their respective favorite bass lines where is shows the Tool Lateralus cover edited in at her side.

Lw. Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Are these old models now? I'm sure I saw an add the other day for a different new ltd edition model from them - I think it was a corvette $$ with a different top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were last year's limited edition, as they do every year, and they were only around as long as the very limited supply lasted. The 2023 model appears to be a Corvette $$ with an ebony fingerboard instead of wenge, a custom 12th fret inlay and what looks like a Macassar ebony top. Which isn't exactly spectacular, they've done several versions of the Corvette $$ already with various top woods. Reactions on the Warwick forum were underwhelmed to say the least. Looks like there will be both a teambuilt version with bolt-on neck and a masterbuilt version with neck-through construction, similar to what they did with the 2022 Streamette. This is the masterbuilt neck-through: Edited March 28, 2023 by LeftyJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The Gus design makes a lot more sense when you are wearing it on a strap: And BTW the black Gus bass that a couple of you have posted earlier in the thread is also one of mine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone a bit heavy on the blue pills there. But yes, Bongos look like toilet seats. But I bought four of them, so I guess I can't fault Warwick Corvette fans too much... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the masterbuilt neck-through: It is quite nice looking but I haven't stayed across the ltd runs so maybe it is a bit boring if people have seen it all before. Is neck-through new for corvettes? They didn't offer that when I bought mine (early 00's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
