So it's back to Fender. Love this Warwick, and it really is a fantastic sounding Bass, and bizarrly sounds and feels better than the 4 string version I had. Only reason I'm considering trading is because of that Fender thing, no not the grill, but the feel of a warm Fender against my abdomen. The pick up placement, and general body placement fit me more comfortably than the Warwick does, so looking a... Fender 5 String [Active] Lakland 5 String [Active or Passive] Here's some blurb about the Warwick Description Warwick Corvette $$ Double Buck 5 string Bass in Nirvana Black Corvette $$™ If the entire line of Warwick basses is like a family at a party, then the Corvette $$ is the newest in-law who ate all the food, drank all the booze and is now in the coat closet with not one, but two of the wait staff! You know the type - a complete and utter beast who only listens to the one person in the family who can control it. Yeah...the Double $$ is that wild. Even though it cosmetically resembles other Corvette models, the Double $$ gets its outrageous attitude and powerful identity from its unique pickup and electronics package. There are two passive MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center of the body, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. But this beast has a sensitive side too, which can be accessed via the two mini 3-way switches that allow you to coil tap each humbucker in a variety if ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). To give the Double $$ more flexibility, the passive pickups are matched to a MEC 2-band preamp, making this behemoth a true passive/active hybrid bass ' the best of both worlds. If you look beyond the wild electronics you will see that the Double $$ features some of Warwick»s most valued components. A select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, an ovangkol neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity ' all these elements blend beautifully to create the perfect performance palate for you and your passion. • Bolt-on • 5-string bass • Right Handed • US Swamp Ash body • Ovangkol neck • Wenge fingerboard • Scale length: 34 inch (long scale) • 24 frets • Passive MEC MM-Style humbuckers with open pole pieces and coil-switching for each pickup: serial, parallel and as single coil • Active MEC 2-way electronics • Coloured Oil Finish • Warwick tuners • 2-piece Warwick bridge • Black hardware • Just-A-Nut III • Weight: 4.3kg • Including Warwick 'User Kit' • Including 'Premium Line Plus' RockBag® for electric bass It's also for sale on ebay, The GroovyPlucker Edited January 12, 2010 by The GroovyPlucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
