Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I've recently purchased a Warwick Corvette Standard Fretless 4 string at a great price with the intention of reselling it and making a little cash. The trouble is, I love it. I've never seriously gotten into fretless before, but this bass is a dream to play. It's as sturdy as a tank (weighs about as much as one also). I just can't say enough good things about it. A friend of mine has a couple of Warwick Dolphins, an eight string and a 4 string active neck through, and they play and sound great as well. I've been a long time Fender fan, and more recently a huge Rickenbacker fan (as are most of you), but have never been so blown away by a bass since my first Ric. Well, enough of me going nuts over this thing. What are everyone's opinions about Warwick basses?

I'm glad to see you decided to keep it!

I was at my local GC the other evening and played the one they have there, identical to yours. The sound is great and I guess I can get used to the neck shape. Now if they will just come down on the price. I have a feeling I am the only one who bothers playing it since it is fretless.

Enjoy!!!

I had a Warwick Corvette Pro-Line 5. It was a very nice bass, solid as a rock. resonated extremely well, and I Loooovvvveeeedd the adjustable nut.

But when I gave up playing live,, I really didnt need a 5 anymore so I sold it.

Nice basses in my opinion. I'd buy another, but I think I'd opt for the 3 band eq.
