Warwick

I playerd one once, didn't care for the neck. I have small hands and it was too thick. I think this bass has 1 good tone but not that much variation when switching pickups, my guess is that they are too close... I would not buy one, but if you like it and it fits your wallet, go ahead...
I played the rockbass version of the corvette and it had more tonal variety than the double but, but being a rockbass, it had a not so good sound and feel to it, the rockbass felt "better" in my hands... But I still woudn't buy and instrument I haven't played. I know a store that a trans red 4 strings stock, but it might not be worth the ride for you, Quebec city is a long way....

I played a $$ and it was definitely an in your face bass! I myself preferred the tonal varieties and sound of the JazzMan configuration.
I love Warwick necks.

I've liked virtually every Warwick I've tried, especially one last year at Elderly (www.elderly.com). I recently sold my Warwick RockBass, only because I'm raising the money for another instrument. It was a killer axe, nicely balanced on a strap, smooth tone, nice clear low B, usable tones...
Peace, Mooh.

Hi, I play a Warwick corvette proline, I don't have large hands either but this axe has become my favorite. I like the sound, feel and reliability of it. Before I bought mine I used A Geddy Lee jazz, Fender precision and my Hagstrom (My first bass that I bought new 36 years ago). I still have all my toys, just can't let them go. All of these guitars are nice and very playable and have their own personalities. Good luck on your final decision.
I had a corvette standard fretless for a couple years... sold it recently to finance my G&L..
sometimes I miss it... other times I don't... (fretless and me didn't really bond, if it was a fretted model,,, it'd be my #1,,, loved that growl)..
never tried the $$

Double the price does make a difference. It really boils down to how much you like the bass - you'll be the one playing it (well, until you give it to me).Xanadu said:
Yeah I know. But I don't have $3000 to spend on a bass right now.james on bass said:
Anyway, the guy from the store called me back today, and their supplier in Montreal has the $$ in Nirvana Black, which after thinking about it, I decided I want that colour. I dont want to look back at this bass in 10 years and be like.. man I wish I didnt get blue. He also quoted me $1300+tax.
I'm a happy camper.
This is what it looks like....

my streamer has a great neck, although they do seem to vary between different models and basses somewhat. the only thing i've found about some of the warwick models that don't have the sculpted body (like the streamers) is that they don't fit me very well. you'll also find because the top horn of the warwicks (i think except for the old fortress models) don't go up to the 12'th fret the reach to the nut is a little longer. if it fits you i'm sure you'll dig the bass, the double buck i played had more than enough tonal variations.
