Warwick Corvette $$ Electric Bass (4 String, Oil Finish, Nirvana Black)

Warwick Corvette $$ Electric Bass (4 String, Oil Finish, Nirvana Black) Review



Warwick Corvette $$ Electric Bass (4 String, Oil Finish, Nirvana Black) Feature

  • US Swamp Ash body
  • Ovangkol neck
  • Wenge fingerboard
  • Active MEC 2-way electronics
  • Including "Premium Line Plus" RockBag® for electric bass
Even though it cosmetically resembles other Corvette models, the Double $$ gets its outrageous attitude and powerful identity from its unique pickup and electronics package. There are two passive MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center of the body, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. But this beast has a sensitive side too, which can be accessed via the two mini 3-way switches that allow you to coil tap each humbucker in a variety if ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). To give the Double $$ more flexibility, the passive pickups are matched to a MEC 2-band preamp, making this behemoth a true passive/active hybrid bass " the best of both worlds. If you look beyond the wild electronics you will see that the Double $$ features some of Warwick´s most valued components. A select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, an ovangkol neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity " all these elements blend beautifully to create the perfect performance palate for you and your passion.
