In addition, the surface delivers a prominent midrange along with a rounded low-end, making it perfect for bass playing.

Ash is extremely common in both guitars and basses and presents a desirably natural aesthetic, for even more style on stage.

Pin-point precision in sound. Warwick have set out to ensure that the Corvette Bass stays in perfect tune for longer. They've fitted it with their revolutionary Just-A-Nut III string nut, providing immense strength and remarkable resonance like no other nut out there.
Painstakingly developed in Warwick's laboratories, the nut is made from Tedur. This discovery is an extremely resilient material made from fibreglass-strengthened polymer. Not only is it strong and durable enough to lock your strings in tune for longer periods of time, but it is also fantastic at improving sonic vibrations in your instrument. This means each note will resonate for longer, giving you fuller, richer sound.
You can take your bass anywhere thanks to a Starline RockBag included by Warwick at no extra cost. This protective, padded gig bag will safeguard your instrument from bumps and scrapes. A bass this good deserves to be heard and used as much as possible. This easy-to-transport case will help you take it to as many gigs as possible.
Warwick basses have a long, rich history of crafting the very best basses in the business. Since their foundation in 1982 in Germany, they've focussed only on making bass guitars that are the most playable, magnificent sounding available on the market.
Their commitment to bass guitars means they've refined their skills to ensure that each and every model they release is a shining example of what a great bass should be. As a result, they've attracted a long list of fans, many of whom are some of music's finest bassists. Prince used a Warwick when he wanted to create funky, distinctive basslines. Slipknot's Paul Gray drove their electrifying sound with a Warwick. The Who's John Entwistle, by many considered the greatest bassist of all time, often used one. Warwicks are versatile basses perfectly designed for their purpose. Experience industry-leading quality.
