Introduced in 1992, the Corvette has established itself as one of the most popular Warwick ranges. Used by plenty of high-profile players over the years, the Corvette puts out a raw, vibrant sound. Plenty of rock and metal players have used it to great effect.
As you’ve guessed by now, Warwick love to experiment with wood combinations. The Corvette is a prime example, as many are built with swamp ash or bubinga bodies, ebony fretboards – and some even including buckeye burl tops.
You’ll find more niche features here, such as illuminated side dots and extra jumbo frets. You’ll notice some models with $$ in their name. This means they’re equipped with the fatter sounding Warwick-designed humbuckers. Some of their basses even include active/passive switches for humbucker pickups, both making the bass more adaptable to a variety of amps and in the sound department, too.
