Description
Here’s what Warwick say about the Warwick RockBass Corvette SS 5-String Bass Guitar in Natural Transparent Satin:
The Warwick RockBass Corvette SS 5-String bass guitar is an affordable bass guitar built with features normally found on more expensive bass guitars. Part of the latest RockBass line-up, this five-string bass features various significant upgrades compared to its predecessor, including a flat wenge fretboard lined with 24 extra-tall jumbo frets that have been rounded off with increased playing comfort. What’s more, the electronics compartment has been shielded with copper to keep noise to a minimum.
The body of the RockBass Corvette $$ is made from Ash and comes loaded with two powerful MEC humbuckers alongside an active 3-band EQ and a blend control for maximum tone-tweaking potential. The build is fully stabilised by a three-piece Maple neck that’s been reinforced with Ekanga, while the tuning stability is firmed up by a two-way truss rod and a Just a Nut III Tedur nut.
