Warwick Corvette 5 string bass 2003 - £275

 

This 5 String bass is in excellent condition condition and is exactly what you would expect from a Warwick bass.

Finished in gloss black, this model is very similar to the Warwick RB Corvette basic as offered today, the main difference being this older model has the single piece  Warwick bridge.

I bought this bass for a project, which has not materialised.  It is offered for sale with a Thomann hard tweed case which was brand new 6 months ago, and has been used for one journey only.

There is a chip out of the nut on the bass side,  which has no effect of playability or sound.  Replacement nuts can be bought from Wawick.  There is a large chip out of the finish, on the lower bout which is not visible from the front but which can be easily disguised with black laquer.
