Warwick Corvette Taranis 5 String 2008 £899 Loughborough, Leicestershire

[Fettsman]

 

This is really rather lovely but we just haven't clicked. It's a Warwick Corvette Taranis 5 string in Burgundy Red. The swamp ash body has a sand blasted finish exposing the grain which may or may not be to your liking! 

The neck is laminated from some beautiful ovangkol.

It's very manageable 8.8ilbs/3.99kg.

 

 Usual Warwick build quality all round. Large pole piece MEC pickups, jazz at the neck and MM at the bridge. the bridge pickup has a series/single(neck coil)/parallel switch so combined with a pick up pan control and two band eq you get a lovely range of sounds. The Volume control has a push pull active/passive switch.

A few scars on the body and one small ding on the back of the neck by the octave on the low side.

 There's a reasonable gig bag with it. I can't post so a meet or collect is best.

I travel about a fair bit with my work so we may be able to sort out something.

Great bass - had this exact one before you. They don't come with this switch stock, but it definitely opens the sounds up to make it even more versatile.
