I have an SWR Golliath 4x10 up for sale in another thread at the moment and I should have the cash once it sells. I used to have the same blue colour Rockbass Corvette and it was a great guitar for the money but this one looks like a bargain!

I'm not sure why but the earlier passive Std doesnt seem to have a popular following and hence they dont change hands for lots of money, They were around the 5-600 pound mark when they were new, however you will be getting a proper German built Warwick for roughly the same money as a new Korean made warwick clone (Rockbass are Warwicks made under licence in Korea). The last few std Streamers I have seen for sale go for somewhere between 2-300 pounds which I believe is incredible value for money for a 'proper' Warwick. I'll bet you are getting excited now arent you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Youre right there Bob, I bought one of these new when theyd been discontinued for the cheaper, (crapper) rockbass series. I think I paid £400 then, IIRC the retail was supposed to be £600. I think the rockbass name is why these only sell for around the £250 mark, people dont realise how good they actually are. The neck is the same neck that is put onto all the bolt on Warwicks. And Corelena body really does provide the Warwick Growl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
