Warwick Corvette $$ NT Bubinga | 5-string fretless (+ flightcase) £2000 Westerham, Kent

[neilmiddlemass]

Beautiful German-made Warwick Corvette FNA for sale - unfortunately I've come to the realisation that I'm just not a fretless player and it deserves to be played more than it is!

Converted to fretless which will make this rare / possibly unique

Fretless conversion has been beautifully done - maple inserts replacing frets so there are clear markers

Strung with Rotosound flats (nearly new) and action lowered

Great fretless sound with NT sustain

Not pictured as in storage in the loft but comes with a very sturdy Warwick flight case with this like the one pictured here (https://www.thomann.co.uk/warwick_ebass_flightcase.htm). Case has been used so not in perfect condition, but only minor cosmetic scuffs etc.

 

Made in Germany in 2011 (serial number K 157455-11)

Double humbucker

Bubinga body with maple through neck

Black hardware with strap locks

Weight ~4.5-5kg

 

The bass is in great condition and has been well looked after - no visible marks, near perfect

Kept in pet and smoke-free house

These are quite rare even when fretted so I think you are right. I suspect many potential buyers will want to know the weight so you might add that to your post. Beautiful piece of Warwick craftsmanship 👍🏻 GLWTS

That looks like a superb fretless conversion!  Do you know who undertook the work?

[neilmiddlemass]

@three yes - had the work done at a shop in Sevenoaks near where I live. Guy in there has done setup and service on several basses of mine over the years and is meticulous! It plays really nicely
