Geek99 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Made in China for warwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I had one just like that with the funky logo and bridge. Mine was fretless. I bought it brand new about 2006, I reckon. It was a good bass for the money. I only sold it because I moved on to a German made Thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimothey Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Very nice mate I do like the sunburst ones!! I’ve got 2 Rock Basses, I’ve never played a made in Germany Warwick so I don’t know how they compare but I really rate them for the price I think they are great!!! The 4 string Trans Blue one is a 2002 and the 5 string Black one is a 2015 Both mine have the s/n etched on the back of the headstock just follow the link in the previous post and it should give you all the info your looking for.............👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Yup, Rockbasses rule. And yes, using the serial number on the back of the headstock will give you info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Had a Rock bass in blue with humbucker pick ups. For the money it was a great buy but i have an original 89 Thumb NT i've had since new and altho it was good they obviously don't compare. Neck was god altho a bit chunky for what i'm used too (Jazz bass is my goto) but i would happily gig with the Rock bass and don't foresee any issues there.

Daveox Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Hi what is the difference between the bridges on the guitars on the left and right of photo? Are they different models? Mine is like one on right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The two natural Corvettes have the newer, two-piece Warwick bridge, while the other three basses - like yours - have the old one-piece bridge. The latter was discontinued because it didn't allow thicker strings to pass through, especially on the 5-string basses. I have had to buy tapered flatwounds (LaBella low tension flats) for the blue Fortress, as non-tapered low Bs got caught and mangled (or stuck) in the hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
