*On Hold Trade Pending* ‘95 Warwick Corvette Std 5 bubinga/wenge £695 Shropshire

[dub_junkie]

*On hold trade pending*
 

1995 Corvette Standard with bubinga body and wenge neck and fingerboard with bell brass frets. MEC dynamic correction J single coils with passive electronics (vol/pan/tone)2 piece Warwick bridge and the original brass just a nut with the individual threaded saddles as well as recessed straplocks.  Bass comes with the Warwick rockbag and straplocks.
 

The truss rod cover on the bass says Corvette Proline which I’m guessing is the wrong cover as this bass fits the spec of a standard. 
 

Wenge neck is in great condition and doesn’t have the volute at the neck where the neck meets the headstock. 
 

plays and sounds superb, been incredibly well looked after for its twenty six years 

Bass can be auditioned in Market Drayton, Shropshire or can drive up to an hour to meet etc. Would post if buyer arranges their own courier, level of cover etc. 

 

£695

I have the 4 string of the same vintage. It's got a Thumb Bass truss rod cover, so think they may have been using whatever they had to hand!

Do you have a weight for this?

Cheers

Currently moving house and everything is all over the place. I’ll get the weight to you asap. It’s not the lightest bass on the block what with the bubinga and wenge but it’s not stupidly heavy either.

Back home later today after a couple of days away. Will get bass weighed then.

 

may take a Sire P7 or a V7 in part trade 

 

or (long shot) a Behringer 2600 semi modular synth which is what I am after

Weighed the bass and my scales says it’s coming out at 10lb 7oz which feels about right. My G&L 5 string felt heavier and was 11lb.

I've got one of these from '97. Amazing basses. I noticed that the horns on yours seem to be a bit flatter where as the ones on mine are completely round. I guess they were all still being hand made back then! 

 

This would be a great bass for somebody wanting to start to play 5 strings and a great price!!

There are subtle and not so subtle difference compared to my ‘00 Corvette Std 4

 

back contours and heel area

 

 

Sharper forearm contour on the ‘00 ash 
 

 

 

flatter horn on the earlier bubinga 5

 

no volute on the 95 five string
