Shawman Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 My old bass and the only one I really wish I didn't let go - A few months ago I went on a PM journey to find this again. Don't have the funds for it right now but whoever picks this up is getting a fantastic bass. I went through bit of a phase of trying all sorts of basses after this but nothing came close to the sound or playability of this beast. Benjifaith is a good guy too. Was kind enough to message me a wee while back for first refusal but as stated above I can't right now - gutting! All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Does this having a swamp ash body mean it's lightweight? Do you have a weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornagainbass65 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Short answer: I think it will be a lightweight bass with huge tone. Longer answer: I believe Corvettes used to be made of either Swamp Ash or Bubinga. The Swamp Ash bodies are lightweight (I have a 4 string Swamp Ash Corvette, similar sort of feel to an Ibanez, if that helps). Swamp Ash is comparatively soft - so expect to see some signs of wear/evidence of playing on a (presumably) 20ish year old bass, which all adds to the character. (You can sand it down and oil/wax it, if you want it to look new.) The neck and bell brass frets however, are very robust. As it is an active bass you'll get a huge range of tones out of this.

Risk101 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I had one of these in black oil finish as my main "go-to" instrument - swamp ash, but not the lightest of basses - however, I agree the wood is rather soft and prone to buckle rash on the rear. They are however, tone monsters! Absolutely fantastic range of tones and the typical Warwick "punch" that can knock out windows! Also first rate build quality and silent electronics. I was sad to see mine go - this one is a bargain in my opinion, so someone is going to be very happy indeed. You won't regret it 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjifaith Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 I find it to be similar to most 5 strings weight wise but it's no ibanez sr haha. With a good strap you can't feel it. Has an amazing tone and great power. I just have no use for it and it's too beautiful to sit on a hurcules clamp haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
