[/quote] I think anyone would find it extremely difficult to argue with that! They seem to be designing a dirtier version too, the mind boggles....

Just got back from Birmingham, epic! Great crowd too, really into it

A Warwick Thumb NT 5 has 26 frets and is fantastic at amplifying harmonics, probably something to do with the somewhat unique pickup positions, it sounds like you need to try one.

B3K Although when that MXR comes out I will be giving it a go

Lets not turn it into one of those threads, folks Have to agree, that bass looks like it may be horrific to play in its current setup. Kinda cool, though

Welcome to a new world of bass First tip; Less is more.

Well, that is something of a design flaw! Contact the UK dealer, they will probably sort you one without charge if they are nice enough?

So, who's at Birmingham on Thursday?

[quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1434791989' post='2802819'] yeah, I know! haha... what an 'interesting perspective'. I found a different one on ebay and purchased it - a mid-90s bubinga corvette as well. Looking forward to hearing that distinctive growl! I don't mind the weight - I think its part of the sacrifice. [/quote] Nice decision Pictures when it arrives please!

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1434752751' post='2802650'] youd be better off with 17 big muffs in a row =P [/quote] At last count, that bloke from Muse had 88 muffs, going into 88 different heads.

Ah, this one is it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WARWICK-Corvette-Proline-GUITAR-Made-in-Japan-1995-F026276-Soft-Case-/231552172300?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e995c10c Crazy he thinks it was made in Japan A little expensive, make an offer Looks a nice example though, and it will be a cracking player with a nice slim neck with MEC 2 band EQ.

[quote name='goonieman' timestamp='1434751669' post='2802640'] aha! thanks guys - I had a feeling I was on the right track. These ones have the JAN I nut... what do you think of it? Are these early 'transition' prolines considered pretty good? The way I understand it is that Warwick 'golden age' was between '90 and 2000. How much should a bubinga corvette go for nowadays? cheers [/quote] I'm sure its a great bass, the wenge necks are great. Does this one have the volute (i.e. the bulge at the back of the neck behind the nut where the headstock joins?) Costs vary like crazy, anywhere between £300 and £500 depending on condition and your onto a decent deal.

Yes, not to be confused with the later Proline Corvettes, which were firstly Ash and then Flamed Maple bodies, as opposed to Bubinga

There has never been a Warwick Corvette made in Japan The Proline series were made in Germany, and only Germany. The serial number will confirm all!

A few of the new squeeze....and of course the garden table.
