Warwick’s Corvette bass design dates back to 1992, offering a genuinely unique shape that’s a sure standout on any stage! A combo of US swamp ash, ovangkol, and wenge make up the body, neck, and fingerboard, respectively, giving this 4-string a gorgeously glowing exterior with phenomenal feel and playability up and down the jumbo brass frets. Sonically speaking, the Pro Series Corvette Standard comes outfitted with a pair of MEC Active J pickups that are ready to rhythmize, roar, and suit just about any application you need them to.
If you want a real natural looker, then this Pro Series Corvette Standard is the axe for you! The US swamp ash body not only holds up in terms of style, but it also offers a universally resonant tone that can really favor upper-register fingerstyle runs in a jazz fusion setting, though bassists around Sweetwater have found the Pro Series Corvette Standard to be quite genre fluid. A dark wenge fingerboard rests on the classic “C”-shaped ovangkol neck, providing a nice familiar feel that bassists of all backgrounds will appreciate.
The Pro Series Corvette Standard’s versatility doesn’t end with tonewoods and feel, though. Two MEC Active J-style stacked coil pickups supply a 1-2 knockout punch at the bridge and neck positions, delivering plenty of presence for your rhythm section. A master volume and tone control give you some standard shaping options, with a third balance knob for really finding that sweet spot. A push-pull function even lets you bypass the active preamp! We’ve seen Corvettes utilized in a variety of musical settings from death metal to jazz, and with a pair of MEC-Js onboard, it isn’t hard to see why.
