Should read £425

Here for sale is my active Warwick Corvette Ash 4 string.

I bought this in 2006 in Inverness, and immediately fell in love with Warwick basses (hence why I, a few years ago, bought a Streamer Stage I 5 string and a Streamer Stage II 4 string).

This bass has active MEC pickups, an active MEC 2 Band EQ, wenge fretboard, ovangkol neck and swamp ash body. Very light weight, not sure of the exact weight but lighter than any of my other basses.

Here's the blurb from Warwick -

[indent=1][size=2][color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The body of the Corvette Standard consists of two or three pieces of US swamp ash. With its shape, ergonomics and sound the Corvette Standard satisfies the aspirations of the most demanding bass players. The switchable, active MEC 2-way electronics and the MEC pickup combination complement one another. Three control knobs provide flexible tone control, in the studio as well as on stage. The highly sensitive dynamic response of the Corvette Standard lets you articulate the most gentle of nuances or slap it for crisp, fat basslines. Additionally, a 4 and 5 string passive configuration is available with single coil J/J pickups.[/font][/color][/size][/indent]

[size=3][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]Now, it's been gigged pretty well by me, and due to the soft nature of the body wood, there are some marks. Beneath the G string, there is a worn area from where my index finger would hit when I slap. There are also small dents in the wood on the bottom of the bass, as well as tiny dents in the back of the bass. I've tried to take pictures of these, but you might not be able to see them. Let me know if you'd like some better pictures of them! On the upside, since this bass is oil finished, and the wood is quite soft, it would be very easy to strip the oil finish, sand the scratches out, and then re-oil the bass.[/color][/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#000000]If you wanted to buy this bass now new, it would be Korean made and would cost about £900ish (just looked on Thomann.de).[/color][/font]

I can deliver most places in London, let me know!

Price drop - Final drop offers around £425 for a cracking bass![/size]

It really is a great bass! I don't want it just sitting around gathering dust with me not playing it. I'm flexible on the price if anyone wants to try me! :P
