The GroovyPlucker

I have a Harley Benton Alluminium Style Flight Case I'm looking to trade for a Fender Moulded Bass Case. The Flight Case is in great condition, just too heavy and bulky for the car. Only looking trades for Fender moulded cases though, skb also. The Case is exactly the same as the Warwick Flight Case Cheers The GroovyPlucker

Achh, There she goes again. Did you get the Bubinga $$? The GroovyPlucker

[quote name='Exile252' post='706256' date='Jan 9 2010, 03:57 AM']Gah, that bass is lovely, and I've wanted a Stingray for so long.... and I have a Corvette $$, which I love to play though. What to do?!?!?! I may send a PM [/quote] Get shot off the P Bass and buy this, you won't regret it The GroovyPlucker

So it's back to Fender. Love this Warwick, and it really is a fantastic sounding Bass, and bizarrly sounds and feels better than the 4 string version I had. Only reason I'm considering trading is because of that Fender thing, no not the grill, but the feel of a warm Fender against my abdomen. The pick up placement, and general body placement fit me more comfortably than the Warwick does, so looking a... Fender 5 String [Active] Lakland 5 String [Active or Passive] Here's some blurb about the Warwick Description Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck 5 string Bass in Nirvana Black Corvette $$™ If the entire line of Warwick basses is like a family at a party, then the Corvette $$ is the newest in-law who ate all the food, drank all the booze and is now in the coat closet with not one, but two of the wait staff! You know the type - a complete and utter beast who only listens to the one person in the family who can control it. Yeah...the Double $$ is that wild. Even though it cosmetically resembles other Corvette models, the Double $$ gets its outrageous attitude and powerful identity from its unique pickup and electronics package. There are two passive MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center of the body, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. But this beast has a sensitive side too, which can be accessed via the two mini 3-way switches that allow you to coil tap each humbucker in a variety if ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). To give the Double $$ more flexibility, the passive pickups are matched to a MEC 2-band preamp, making this behemoth a true passive/active hybrid bass ' the best of both worlds. If you look beyond the wild electronics you will see that the Double $$ features some of Warwick»s most valued components. A select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, an ovangkol neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity ' all these elements blend beautifully to create the perfect performance palate for you and your passion. • Bolt-on • 5-string bass • Right Handed • US Swamp Ash body • Ovangkol neck • Wenge fingerboard • Scale length: 34 inch (long scale) • 24 frets • Passive MEC MM-Style humbuckers with open pole pieces and coil-switching for each pickup: serial, parallel and as single coil • Active MEC 2-way electronics • Coloured Oil Finish • Warwick tuners • 2-piece Warwick bridge • Black hardware • Just-A-Nut III • Weight: 4.3kg • Including Warwick 'User Kit' • Including 'Premium Line Plus' RockBag® for electric bass It's also for sale on ebay, The GroovyPlucker

It was mine before budgets, and it seems we both slightly regretted the exchange, but, you have to try things. It really is a Beautiful bass, whoever snaps it up, just sounds and feels great, and there aren't many of these basses around. Might add that budget is a fantastic guy to deal with, absolutely 100% top lad, so don't be afraid to trade, The GroovyPlucker

[quote name='wildman' post='705236' date='Jan 8 2010, 10:32 AM']Bump, Outright sale preferred, but trades now considered for a cheaper five string - with 18mm string spacing[/quote] Hi, I have a Warwick Corvette Double Buck $$ 5 String I'm looking to sell/trade at the moment, The GroovyPlucker

Hi, I'd be interested in a trade for your TRB, for my Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck 4 string, sure let me know, The GroovyPlucker

Hi Simon, You're right about the diff between the 4 and 5 string necks, it's quite bizarre actually, the spacing isn't that much of an issue for me though. Had a 91 streamer before and the neck on that was fantastic, albeit that it was laquered as opposed to the woody neck usually associated with Warwicks. The 5 strings neck is so smooth, as is the 4 string corvette, but I think the 4 string is a touch deeper, i.e. more c shaped, 4 string more d shaped. Both amazing versatile basses. The other problem I've encountered over years of Bass trading/playing, is that I started on Fender, and I guess I'll always be Fender. So I'm so used to the Fender body spacing, i.e. pickups are placed more in the middle of the body, most other basses I've tried are more neck and small body, hence the pickups are usually placed further away from my right hand, this might seem trite, but you get used to your most comfortable playing position, so it'll probably be back to the Fenders, hopefully the Red Jaguar!

[quote name='TheDaivisch' post='695300' date='Dec 29 2009, 12:45 AM']Just out of interest, what is it that you are not so overjoyed about in comparison to the 5er?[/quote] I think the two models are maybe dif years, the woods seem ever so slightly diff. The 5 string glides, whereas the 4 is very stiff and tight for me. I just find the 4 string harder to play than the 5, even tho I've never used a 5 string before. Also hankering for something slightly diff in the 4 string dept, thought having the family of 4 and 5 string versions would work, but looking to move on, again!! The GroovyPlucker

Agreed, keep trying every bass, this one's still got the tagger on, don't even look at it.. You can pick the Aria's up quite cheap if you shop around, just a matter of getting them in good condition. The GroovyPlucker

Pull up to the Bumper baby...

Hi, Pm'd you before, are you interested in a trade for either a 4 or 5 string Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck, Cheers The GroovyPlucker

Nice, these are, had the super supreme version, not sure it made much difference. Just on the Chic/Funk thing. I'm nuts into that kinda stuff, can't play it for sh*t, but well I try. You should maybe consider a vintage Aria Pro II SB or RSB series with flatwounds, mighty funk, not slappy, but funky as f%*k. I had an RSB800 with flatwounds, mmmmmmmmmmmm, The GroovyPlucker

Merry Christmas, Bump is Over

Man with Bump, it just don't make sense luv.

I'm not sure it's exactly what I'm after, having said that I'm currently looking at the Doug Wimbish 5 String. Had the 4 string before and thought it was ok, very slim neck. Your Ibanez seems to have a much wider neck, so not so sure about it for now, but if you're very keen on the Corvette get back to me, Cheers The GroovyPlucker

[quote name='Dogz73' post='690899' date='Dec 21 2009, 07:11 PM']Hiya, I think i've been bidding on this on Evil Bay this week but didn't hit the reserve. What are you looking for? Cheers[/quote] Hi, Yeah, had it up there a couple of times, reserve was £600, which for this bass is more than reasonable, let me know if you're interested and maybe we can do a deal. Thanks The GroovyPlucker
