aah, no matter buddy, we're all a family Back to the point, I know that maybe I am a little "unknown" here but I can vote for basses that I have/owned! Sometimes you sell basses when "they" done all things that these had to And to be honest it's nothing bad in this point! -
I cannot answer shortly. I put BadAss V bridge into high-end Supra Sonic bass recently. It took all things that I didn't like from that instrument. The red one corvette has faster low's it's not so "woolly". But notice that Basstecs that I was looking for a long time for this bass do the job too. The most unacceptable thing for me is that this brass bridge costs a lot. But it is another thing that most of basses that we have in the market now are overpriced And it's not true that "better brigde" is better - for example, I put Hipshot Transtone (heavy one) into my Mensfeld precision, which I've moded too. It's a budget bass (you cannot find it out of Poland), was made in 90 by Maciej Mensfeld (some of his High Class instruments were listed once on the Luthiers Access Group). It was my second bass when I was kid. Sentimental journey. I changed everything in it and it sounds really cool (but it's imossible to resell it and I accept that). To be honest I prefered the stock Chinese/Korean bridge from 90's. It was warm/round etc. So - according to the question - it's a myth that better bridge is a point as many people say. Every bass has it's own harmness, we cannot judge until we try. First, you're too kind, I am not worthy! I got ya with this "sound of wood" but it still depends to me where the bass would be used. I played on many Warwicks that were simply a piece of stinky poo as well as Fenders etc. It's a wood, not just - you know, repeatable things. But it's another story and I belive you know what I mean. Some of them could be better when you replace goods inside. For some personal reason I could try to change harmness, take off the MECs in order to "achieve more concrete" sound to my personal taste. But I don't. Let it play with someone else, just where it will fit better because it's a descent bass at all!

Yup that's the point!

oh, to be precise: I think that this particular one is not very good for slapping. It's chambered, so it sounds a bit "piezzo". Maybe I would use it in some funky-slap songs, but I played on a better slapper I had another Corvette Standard for sale, which I decided to keep it for now. Only wood remained in that bass - I changed everything (added nordstrand pre/basstec pickups, changed the bridge for brass one) and I am using it in Antigama now. this one is more "concrete" and is sticked to the kick - that's why I prefer it more. If this Corvette LTD that I am selling would be 4string, probably I would be using it in Antigama instead - I really like that it sounds well with distortion too. And all Warwicks have strong mids, what's in my opinion highly desirable when you use much distortion. Although I realy like that the LTD is light. So if it would be a 4string bass I might keep this bass instead of the red one Standard model that I moded because it's "higher class" bass than the standard. Has better ergonomics, it's well built. I am not collecting basses, and, you know - I am not a "jazz" player much. Sometimes I buy basses only for particular "studio work" just because there's no such things as "versatile bass". I had really good Tobias Classic bass here for sale (I sold it to a friend of mine, locally) and this bass was amazing. It was designed to record, you couldn't went wrong. But it was - as most of Tobias/MTD models - just for POP/Gospel and I play mainly heavy stuff. But still - if someone needs to have a descent Warwick bass to "lighter" - jazzy - generes, will be satisfied for sure. Yup, feel free to post the samples buddy, I am enjoying with every single Warwick bass!

@Djooh this bass is specific. All Warwicks are not really well for slapping - that's obviously a matter of personal taste. I would explain it in this way: we're used to know this "fenderish" kinda slap tone. Warwick is not such a bass indeed (maybe the closest is Streamer Stage 1 model) When we talk about "chambered" basses - these are sounding a bit like a "piezo", and it's highly depending if the player has this "consciousness" of sound. Of course it will fit well if you know what your purpose in a band is. For the same reason, to me is unacceptable to play a bass without (band) context at all. Maybe some people can catch the sound when they play bass "alone". But I don't. But at last: it's only my own point of view. Luckily the world is big, and there are a lot of good bass players, who can play even on a shovel and make it useful, whereas I could not even be able to imagine that's gonna work in that way

Yeah I got ya! to be honest Warwick is not the best bass in the world but if you accept the ergonomics and if you really know what you need to achieve with this sound, you can't go wrong! It's not so "boring" as a Fender bass (SIC!) (yeah I know that Fender is versatile but sometimes it's simply not enough ) Corvettes are highly underrated models!

Aah I edited this post using mobile, sorry for misspelling! Thanks man! I believe the new owner will be satisfied with this bass. It is hard for me to let it go because it's really nice to play. I like that it is light, it sounds cool and it is really fine bass. But I am in love with my Supra Sonic totally. To heavy stuff I am using 4 strings so I just cannot justify the standing-by-the-wall bass From the same reason I am selling Mayo BE5 which is also really good instrument. But I am using it only twice per year

here go guys. Both Pickups. Middle @ 00:30 Bass @ 2:00 Highs @ 2:30 This bass fits mostly in Jazz/Pop. It has plenty of Highs, therefore the best results in my opinion comes when you roll-off totally the teble knob Distorts well too. In my opinion this bass is not so good for thumpin'/slap - I had better ones for that style of playing. Basically it sounds pretty much like a thumb model (maybe with a bit of "air" because of chambers inside, so it needs more space in a mix) Notice, that strings are not so new now. And the second take in wave (my EKEN camera was dead)

Hello guys, the following Warwick is for sale: - heavily moded Corvette Standard (97' or 98') - it's no longer a "standard" - wenge neck & fb - ash body (≈4,5kg) - Nordstrand 2b preamp - BASSTEC pickups - Warwick *solid brass bridge* (changed from standard one) - Warwick tuners and I've been using it on this album yet on MEC's: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2018/08/31/watch-antigama-division-of-lonely-crows/ Brand new Gator case is included. I was looking for a better replacement to the standard pickups, I''ve changed the stock ones for BASSTEC set: and I think that this bass cannot be improved anymore - basically you cannot go better with the sound I would try another bass, maybe will build a custom one, so will need to raise some funds. I can ship it within the UE @ your cost, we can discuss it. To be honest as a new owner you'll be satisfied. It has a lot of dings, but it's worthy.
