Re: Warwick 92' corvette?
Warwicks are great basses. I wish I had one. I'd jump all on it if it's in good shape.
There was a guy that used to rehearse at the same rehearsal space as us years ago. He played Warwicks and Spectors. He always sounded great. I played his quite a few times and it was awesome.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! though they stray from my traditionalist bass beliefs, they are solid guitars.

I've owned both Warwick and Carvin basses. By any metric I can think of, the Warwick was superior.

Re: Warwick 92' Corvette Bass?
The Warwicks, at least of the time period, are handmade in Germany from specifically selected woods. Not saying Carvins must be inferior just because of how things are made but for many players this plays a role, and you can probably notice it easily when handling the instrument.

Yeah, I would.
Yeah, I would.
^ Would you pay $800 usd for a Warwick Corvette Proline?
I was planning to get a 5 strings, but I would be better with 4 strings instead.

I have a thumb and I love the neck and how it feels......... and the nice growling tone.
They are made in Germany and your model was discontinued.
This instrument's trademarks are its well-balanced attack and starting transient, with a consistently clear deep bass register, a warm gently growling mid-range and pleasant soft highs.The Corvette ProLine's body consists of two pieces of hard, Flamed Maple. A Wenge fingerboard is glued to the five-piece Ovangkol neck, which slots neatly into the body and is secured by four bolts in individual recessed metal bushes. The Corvette ProLine stands up to aggressive playing styles, yet can deliver the most subtle nuances in precise, gentle techniques. The MEC pickup combination driven by the switchable, active MEC 2-way electronics and three controls provides a wide range of tones suitable for live or studio performances.
This model is still available with Standard option through the Custom Shop !

Absolutely. I'd knock $100 off for that nonsense. At least.

the bass's owner puts a silver cross on the neck. It looks nice but it reduces the price of the instrument... don't you think so?

Re: Warwick 92' Corvette Bass?
Bummer......the cross wouldn't concern me as much as the crack in the neck......The cross gives it character. I fell into my 4 string Thumb BO with warwick HS case for $850.00 on Ebay......But that was a few years back.......Good luck on your hunt, be patient something good will come your way!
