Got my hands on a Corvette $$ 5 string yesterday - I'd always admired Warwicks from afar but remember being put off as a novice by the size of the neck when trying one out about 15 years ago in The Bass Centre, compared to my good old Sunn Mustang P copy! I never liked the look of Streamers either but Thumbs and Vette's always drew me in for a closer look!
So, when on the lookout for something of a change bass-wise, I thought I'd satisfy the niggling doubt about them and actually buy one. A bit of a leap of faith I suppose but I did my research and knew what I wanted!
All I can say is that having had a rip through for an hour or so last night at v low volume, I am so pleased I bought her, bar none the nicest and most "like a bass" sounding bass I've ever played and I've owned/played quite a few - I honestly feel like I've found the sound that I've been hearing in my head for years, finally under my fingertips!
Can't wait to have a proper turn-up later this week at rehearsal, and move some air live later this year!
Sorry to whaffle, had to share with some like minded peeps!
Keep it rockin'
