The GroovyPlucker Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) This bass was traded with another user on this forum, and having also aquired the same model in a 5 string version, am not overjoyed with the 4 string version, so maybe time to try something else. Open to trades, and looking Yamaha TRB Fender Deluxe Precision [U.S. not MX] High End Ibanez Or just hit me with your ideas, would be willing to sell also. By the way, the Bass is in Nirvana Black.

Cheers[/quote] Hi, Yeah, had it up there a couple of times, reserve was £600, which for this bass is more than reasonable, let me know if you're interested and maybe we can do a deal.

I'm not sure it's exactly what I'm after, having said that I'm currently looking at the Doug Wimbish 5 String. Had the 4 string before and thought it was ok, very slim neck. Your Ibanez seems to have a much wider neck, so not so sure about it for now, but if you're very keen on the Corvette get back to me, Cheers The GroovyPlucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 string glides, whereas the 4 is very stiff and tight for me. I just find the 4 string harder to play than the 5, even tho I've never used a 5 string before. Also hankering for something slightly diff in the 4 string dept, thought having the family of 4 and 5 string versions would work, but looking to move on, again!!

The GroovyPlucker[/quote] As per the posts above, I used to own this before selling it to Budget Bassist. I found it a dream to play, and regretted selling it. I think Warwick four strings are very different to the five strings. The fivers have a very narrow string spacing and play differently to the four strings, which may be why Mr Plucker isn't getting on with it (and very honest of him to say so in his sale thread!). If you like modern Warwick four string necks, you'll not go wrong with this one IMO. In fact, I'm half tempted to offer something as a trade myself - just not sure what!

The GroovyPlucker Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi Simon, You're right about the diff between the 4 and 5 string necks, it's quite bizarre actually, the spacing isn't that much of an issue for me though. Had a 91 streamer before and the neck on that was fantastic, albeit that it was laquered as opposed to the woody neck usually associated with Warwicks. The 5 strings neck is so smooth, as is the 4 string corvette, but I think the 4 string is a touch deeper, i.e. more c shaped, 4 string more d shaped. Both amazing versatile basses. The other problem I've encountered over years of Bass trading/playing, is that I started on Fender, and I guess I'll always be Fender. So I'm so used to the Fender body spacing, i.e. pickups are placed more in the middle of the body, most other basses I've tried are more neck and small body, hence the pickups are usually placed further away from my right hand, this might seem trite, but you get used to your most comfortable playing position, so it'll probably be back to the Fenders, hopefully the Red Jaguar!
