The ultimate playing experience
The peak of performance. The Corvette is tailored for the player. Wenge fingerboards are common across almost all Warwick basses; and for good reason too. Playability has never been so welcoming; the wenge fretboard is the definition of playing comfort with its smooth surface, yet distinguished, natural feel. In addition, the surface delivers a prominent midrange along with a rounded low-end, making it perfect for bass playing.
Furthermore, the Corvette features an ash body for impeccable warmth and punch. Ash is extremely common in both guitars and basses and presents a desirably natural aesthetic, for even more style on stage. Play for hours on end with supreme tone and maximum comfort; a maple neck allows players to glide up and down all 24 frets with ease. Guaranteed feel in your live sound.
Timeless clarity
The original. Passive pickups have powered basses for generations, and are still the most popular form of pickup to date. Renowned for producing that classic tone, this pickup technology is famed for use on classic recordings by legends such as Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton. Experience supreme clarity with a truly authentic feel, decorating your sound with more flair and nuance.
Feel the vintage resonance run through all 5-strings. Inject that sought-after fat, punchy tone into your sound, creating a truly dynamic experience within your playing. Well-rounded, warm and effortlessly sublime tone – it’s no wonder these pickups have been a favourite for decades.
Terrific tuning
Pin-point precision in sound. Warwick have set out to ensure that the Corvette Bass stays in perfect tune for longer. They've fitted it with their revolutionary Just-A-Nut III string nut, providing immense strength and remarkable resonance like no other nut out there.
Painstakingly developed in Warwick's laboratories, the nut is made from Tedur. This discovery is an extremely resilient material made from fibreglass-strengthened polymer. Not only is it strong and durable enough to lock your strings in tune for longer periods of time, but it is also fantastic at improving sonic vibrations in your instrument. This means each note will resonate for longer, giving you fuller, richer sound.
Brilliant bass heritage
Warwick basses have a long, rich history of crafting the very best basses in the business. Since their foundation in 1982 in Germany, they've focussed only on making bass guitars that are the most playable, magnificent sounding available on the market.
Their commitment to bass guitars means they've refined their skills to ensure that each and every model they release is a shining example of what a great bass should be. As a result, they've attracted a long list of fans, many of whom are some of music's finest bassists. Prince used a Warwick when he wanted to create funky, distinctive basslines. Slipknot's Paul Gray drove their electrifying sound with a Warwick. The Who's John Entwistle, by many considered the greatest bassist of all time, often used one. Warwicks are versatile basses perfectly designed for their purpose. Experience industry-leading quality.
