Warwick Corvette $$ NT Bubinga

Everything has been said above ... I said that the German manufacturing (which explains the price: € 2044 to the latest news on Thomann ... € 1,971 by negotiating two seconds from the importer Lyon)

UTILIZATION

I had to ask the store to bring me to try it (they do not have in stock. We do not find occasion: the few products are carefully guarded !!!): pleasant surprise: The neck is much thinner (and therefore easy to play +) $ $ as the handle screw. The contact of wood not varnished (beeswax provided in the User kit) is a little strange but you get done quickly.
Quite honestly I did not see much difference with his $ $ wooden handle screwed "normal" (€ 1,388 on the latest news Thomann) but I still bought: She is more beautiful! (Yes, it's not pro as a criterion, but I enjoyed myself).

SOUNDS

Me I immediately changed the strings (as on my old bass): Dunlop for Mi and The ghs and for Re and Sol (and I have a warm, non-metallic and the Mi The sound and farting good for the slap on the Re and Sol ... for all the world awake in the middle of an old blues).
To emphasize this I dropped the next two microphones "ropes" (just tighten a little more).
I put the balance in the middle, treble and bass in background)
I play an Ampeg BA 115 600 W, it tears his race!

OVERALL OPINION

it's been a week since I have (but it's been two years since I dream).
I had tried many other models: it sounds much more "hot" as the Music Man and slap the spring as well (provided you put the two knobs microphones down (double coil in parallel).
So this is the most versatile: it can play everything (blues, rock, jazz, fusion ...) without having to change settings.
There's more to enjoy!
I get up at night to play it serious?

UTILIZATION

The handle is a highway for all the style with a predilection for the slap and access to acute carefree even for tapping, for cons must be tiring to do with weight in the long run (after 4 to 5 hours of repeats anyway) and a reduces location between the handle and the neck pickup a bit bizarre at first if one is accustomed to a standard microphone config (used to it very quickly)

SOUNDS

Config + micro electronics is also ennorme. you can play everything from jazz to metal thanks to an equalizer too see very effective. I play many styles and I often used a large rack of effect (it absolutely cash while keeping his characters) but also in terms of format, directly into the amp and it is as much a pleasure.

OVERALL OPINION

It'll soon be six months that I have this warwick and I play on it more it rings. the finish is examplaire. Warwick is like all we are super fan or you hate but they never leave indifferent, it is a true bass characters which may put off some (not as a jazz bass goes everywhere) but the fan will mark this make the difference between the Corvette $ $ NT Bubinga Corvette and others. they will be even happier with their purchase, for my part has no regrets despite the horizon that I board could try it before the 'achter (no model available in proximity) is more fly deluxe book with the user kit Rockbag Warwick is truly class.
