Just bought a Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman V

[cockbongo]

...just wondered if anyone had any experience with them and can let me know how good/bad/average they find them? Anything I should be wary of or anything to keep an eye out for? It's my first Warwick, y'see - i'm quite excited...!

Damn. That sounds close to my dream bass. Whenever I've seen bands live where the bass player has one, they've sounded perfect.

Wouldn't the right time to have asked this question be [u]before[/u] you bought it?

[The Funk]

Yeah, I should congratulate you on your first Warwick. You picked a good 'un.

Well, maybe, well, yes actually, but I don't think anything was going to stop me buying it as I got it for an absolute steal.

Good to hear that it's recommended, anyway.

Quite an old thread, but I am lokking to buy the same model and just wondered how you feel about the bass 18 months on........

The Corvette models are really good basses. Hope you get on with it.

[cockbongo]

Absolutely love the blighter. Apart from being a beautifully crafted (and yes, heavy) piece of equipment, it feels fantastic to play, and that single coil pickup helps gives it a really good range of tones. It's certainly done me proud playing anything between heavy rock and jazz, and while I find the output pretty hot some light compression has helped smooth that out a bit but keep the growl.

After playing it for about 18 months, I actually think now that a $$ would suit the kind of music i'm using it for and would be very interested in trying/buying/trading for one. There's one or two going on the forums recently which have piqued my interest.....

But yeah - fantastic bass.
