Warwick RB Corvette s-s - info pls

[scrumpymike]

Just looking at two nice black examples of the above and a bit confused.  Andertons describe theirs as passive and Thomann say that what looks like the same bass is active (both similar price and same controls).  Are there two versions?  Couldn't find any mention of the bass on the Warwick website - discontinued??

Links?

You're asking us to comment on this and we have to hunt around to find it. Also, wtf is an s-s ?  $$ perhaps?

I think I'm right in thinking all the $$ (Double-buck) Warwicks are active. But the circuit in the Rockbass isn't the same as you'll find the in the German basses. But, you pays your money....

Good luck

Edit; or is it "Streamer Standard" ?

Dunno. I give up.

Sorry Grangur, my topic posted in haste (see why below) was aimed at those - if there are any - who could answer from experience; and my 's-s' stood for 'short-scale' btw.  My active/passive confusion was compounded by the fact that the picture used on the Andertons website to illustrate the 'active' 4-string was actually of a 5-string bass.  Anyway, by the time I got the answer from Andertons on the phone this morning ("Yes, the 4-string is available in active and passive versions and yes, we've show a 5-string by mistake."), the B-grade active example that Thomann were listing with a hefty £100 discount yesterday had already sold.  Dohhh!

OK, so now you all know everything you never wanted to know on this subject - I'll get my coat 😉
