Up for sale is my February 2007 Warwick Corvette Proline 6. Better spec than the bog standard bubinga German corvette and now discontinued, and would cost a hefty bit of dough to buy through the custom shop if you wanted to buy a new one now.
Stunning bass, completely converted me to the Warwick sound, i just don't think i can convince myself any longer that i can play a 6 string!
Here's the blurb from Warwick:
Corvette ProLine
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 !

A fantastic bass, now discontinued of course, i believe that this could well have been one of the last Prolines made (if its not a custom shop model, which i assume it isn't). Massive tonal variation between the two pickups, which are upgraded to active MEC's as standard on the 6 string model. Lovely condition, very small nick on the headstock and a couple of unphotographical(?) surface scratching as normal, but basically mint condition. The maple on this bass is stunning
Here's a thread showing a couple of photos taken by Mark at Bass Direct
