Warwick German Pro Series Corvette $$ Fretless Bass, Nirvana Black

Player's Perspective

Warwick’s Pro Series instruments are made in Germany – in the same factory where Warwick’s highest-end, most souped-up models are built. The Pro Series was always good, but now it reflects a new standard of build quality, tone, and playability. This is a true German-made Warwick through and through and it feels like a boutique instrument.

This Corvette $$ packs a whole lot of punch and growl into a simple and easy-to-use electronics package. Loaded with two potent humbuckers, this bass is for players who need to be able to move serious air, keep the lows tight and step out and punch. Scoop the mids for a super crisp, snappy funk tone, or gently boost the mids with a little gain in your signal for some nice growl.

High-quality hardware, stellar electronics, and exacting build quality make this bass feel like it's going to hold up for decades and still perform with ease. The rock-hard tigerstripe ebony fretboard will hold up nicely even with roundwound strings. Tone and playability are absolutely superb on this bass!

Details

This German-made Pro Series Corvette $$ is one powerful bass. The body is swamp ash, and the ovangkol neck has an ebony fingerboard. Electronically, this bass sports two passive MEC MM-style humbuckers wired to an active MEC preamp. The sound is enormous, and it's easy to sculpt to your exact liking with some simple tweaking. Great craftsmanship and a beautiful, understated finish top everything off.
