mojobass Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 ive decided i really want another status so along with my other basses on here, here's my 2009 corvette STD active bbubinga body. its immaculate hardly been played in its life gigged a couple of times but well cared for. Active MEC pups and preamp, chrome hardware, lovely slim ovangkol/wenge neck with no fretwear. Pic: [attachment=86965:IMG_5202.JPG] cant upload more due to size but happy to email to any interested party! looking for £650 including warwick deluxe padded gig bag and manual etc would ideally prefer collection on this but could possibly arrange courier for £40 fully insured

shantijoe Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Hiya nice looking Warwick- can you confirm if it's a Korean model? thanks, joe

mojobass Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 AFAIK its german, will check with warwick site and serial number, and yup it has a lush slim neck not like the bassball bat necks of late
Marvin Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Someone buy this, please. Put me out of my misery, I can't afford it so come on.
shantijoe Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Hiya Have a bump on this! this link [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=17072&katID=22954&cl=EN"]http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=17072&katID=22954&cl=EN[/url] shows the STD Bubinga as a Korean bass. They don't appear in the German section. Perhaps wise SILDDX can clarify as this issues had come up before... ta, joe

Perhaps wise SILDDX can clarify as this issues had come up before... ta, joe [/quote] The 'Pro' series is a new designation for Warwick, though the Corvette range goes back to the early 90's (fairly sure that they weren't even called 'Standards' back then) and were made in Germany. However... as well versed in all things Warwick that I am, I'm mainly interested in the early years of Warwick production (up till the mid 90's) and the multitude of BO and various lines lost interest for me, especially with production from places other than Germany, so I can't be sure when the 'std' range came out and when they started being made in Korea. A quick line on the Warwick site might get a response to tell when production was moved and clarity as to where this bass was made; though does it matter so long as it is a good un?
mojobass Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 German or Korean its a quality bass! ive had a few 'wicks over the years and this one is equal to any of the others ive had (and they were all German) It sounds great and looks lush!
xilddx Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Fairly sure it was early 2010 when the Corvette Standard went to Korea.
Linus27 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1317076693' post='1386563'] Fairly sure it was early 2010 when the Corvette Standard went to Korea. [/quote] Yes it was, April 2010 I think was about the time. So if it is 2009 then it will be German for sure.
mojobass Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 there you go then, £550 posted for some lovely German wood!!
