paulie Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Up for sale is my 1998 Warwick Corvette FNA Beautiful finish with gold hardware. Gorgeous neck with low, buzz free action. Flame maple top and walnut veneer underneath. The pickup is amazing and really nails that Musicman sound without the brittle high end, just a lot smoother. Light playing wear, some buckle rash etc. Well looked after for a 20 year old bass. Weight is about average, close to 9lbs Comes with a Protec Contego which is mint, worth over £120 on its own. Have a box and packing for this and happy to ship anywhere Here is some blurb on the bass from the web: This was a short-lived revamp of Warwick's Altus bass and actually the FNA stands for 'Formally Known as Altus', albeit with a slight spelling mistake! It was the first Warwick bass to make use of a Music Man styled MEC humbucking pickup and it worked extremely well. The lack of scratchplate allows this beautiful Honey Violin finish and the gold hardware to positively glow with sophistication. The distinctive Warwick multi adjustable bridge and separate tailpiece are set below the body surface for a minimalistic presentation and the walnut veneer beneath the maple top gives a 'coach line' effect on the body. The sound, although similar to an Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay, still retains that distinctive Warwick quality and feel. It was dropped in favour of the FNA Jazzman with two pickups but remains a beautiful bass, light in weight with a great range of sounds.

paulie Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Neck is very slim on this. I play Jazz basses all the time so can't deal with chunky necks. This one is like a jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
