Brave Sir Robin Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The Corvette is very nice. I like the Rockbass Alien. Semi Acoustic for the masses (hopefully). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Yeah the Corvette looks lovely, that singlecut Thumb though? What [i]weren't[/i] they smoking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peted Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Oooh. I quite like the idea of a Rockbass Alien fretless 5 string. I wonder when prices will be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I have to say, Warwick have really raised their game IMO, especially the improvement on the RockBass line- previously I wouldn't have touched any of the Warwick line for being way too expensive or too cheap (nothing against cheap basses, but I have enough of them!)- but when the 2010 Rockbasses start appearing in the classifieds, I might have to think again...

lemmywinks Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 That Corvette, what a bass! The Rockbass Fortress and Corvette$$ look gorgeous too. I want all 3 now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The Thumb SC has to be one of the ugliest basses I've seen in a while. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkypenguin Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 i really like the look of the thumb SC! i think the shape will suit 5 and 6 strings far more than the standard model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[i]"Hey, we've over-produced on L/H Strykers and R/H Buzzard Neck blanks... What can we do? Let's stick them together in an upside-downy kind of way and get someone really famous to endorse it!"[/i] And after all that, they put MECs in it AGAIN! There must be better pick-ups to put in some mega-expensive Warwick beast? But, on the plus side, it'll be the first Gibson design that doesn't suffer from neck-dive, so well done on thinking "outside of the box" on that one!

robertpieptan Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 For the Corvette Std they are +40% from the last year price-list; they are 1400 euro and last year was 980 (for the active-active basses with bubinga wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I quite like them all, not too sure about the maple board and block markers on the ltd corvette though, would look better with blank ebony IMO. The rest look pretty cool, apart from that adam clayton bass. Oh and did you guys know the corvette standards are now part of the "pro series" made in korea? Yep, no more german made corvette standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
