What is string spacing at bridge? 16mm (ish) or 19mm (ish)?

[captainjon]

Hi,

Not sure about the spacing, its fully adjustable though. will check

[davehohf]

Very nice! Would you ship to the US?

[captainjon]

maybe, not sure on the postage though

If you could, string spacing at bridge - this is a key issue for me in terms of playability. Thanks.

[captainjon]

i think its the standard spacing for a 5 string, the same as my FNA by the look and feel. Dont have a ruler at the moment so cant verify it right now

The standard spacing for a Warwick 5 is 16mm, on the broadneck it goes up to 20mm. Some say it's not noticeable... as someone who plays both, I can safely say, yes it is! However, the Corvette Standard 5 is a very playable bass. GLWTS

I fall into the 16mm is too narrow camp. I did try, but realise I need a broadneck version. as above GLTRS - a cracking bass for the money - I am really pleased with my 4 string fretless corvette.

Please don't even joke about that, the mere thought of it brings a tear to my eye...you could do that maybe with any other bass, just not the Warwick...here's hoping you get a sale unless Santa enlarges my bank account.

[Joeyfivebags]

I can't believe how the prices of these are dropping. Absolute bargain for under £500 just remember to get a decent strap. GLWS

Agreed that the price of second-hand wicks are insanely low at the moment, not sure why. Lovely bass, hope the sale goes well, what a bargain. That bubinga will sound crystal clear.
