Marvin Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Eventually I'm going to need another bass, call it necessity call it GAS, I just don't know. However, been looking at Rockbass by Warwick, probably a Corvette. Just wondered if anyone had an opinion on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I had one for a while. Perfectly reasonable 2 band active bass. Jazz width neck but chunky back to front, so felt pretty comfortable to me. I sold it because it didn't inspire me to mod it at all. If you're going for a new one, make sure you get one of the new ones with the 2 piece bridge as per their "grown up" Warwick siblings. Because these are pretty new, you should get a sweet deal on one of the old ones (one piece bridge) second hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've played a Corvette and Fortress and they were very well built and sounded great. If you're thinking of buying a new Rockbass Corvette, then you might also want to look out for a second-hand Warwick Corvette as the prices tend to be similar and you'll get much more bass for your money.

ahpook Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 i've got a fretless rockbass fortress and i love it. i'll prolly be splashing out on one of the newer model fretted fortresses when they come out (later on this year i've heard...hopefully) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm looking forward to the new models especially if i can get a Fortress 5 left handed. Could be a good pub gig bass. Depends on the price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonster Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 yeah the double buck looks interesting, might consider one of these, does anyone actually know when the new range will be out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both of those basses and while i liked the Rockbasses the German ones are the ones i'd go for Ahpook's Fortress is sweet though!
