A Teambuilt, German Warwick Bass

The Pro Series Corvette $$ is a Teambuilt electric bass guitar, crafted in the same factory as Warwick's high-end Custom Shop instruments, and under the direct supervision of the company's master-builders. The look and feel of the Pro Series Corvette $$ exude pure excellence, thanks to its sculpted, resonant swamp ash body. This bass boasts a comfortable bolt-on ovangkol neck and fast-playing wenge fingerboard, which features Warwick's revolutionary Invisible Fretwork Technology. You also get Warwick's acclaimed Just-A-Nut III tedur nut and their ultra-reliable tuning machine heads. You'll appreciate the thunderous tone of this instrument, courtesy of a pair of MEC MM-style humbuckers and an active 2-way preamp. The Pro Series Corvette $$ is topped off with plenty of high-end appointments, including fluorescent side dots, a rock-solid 2-piece bridge, a stress-free locking strap system, and gleaming chrome hardware. If you want a German Warwick electric bass, but with a real-world price tag, the Warwick Pro Series Corvette $$ really delivers.

High-performance bolt-on neck

Anyone searching for a high-level playing experience owes it to themselves to pick up a Pro Series Corvette $$. For starters, this 5-string electric bass features a comfortable "C"-shaped ovangkol neck with head-turning ekanga veneer stripes. Its slick-feeling 26-inch-radius wenge fingerboard boasts 24 extra-hard, jumbo-sized, brass frets, along with Warwick's acclaimed Invisible Fretwork Technology, which leaves two millimeters of wood on either side of the frets for unparalleled smoothness and outstanding vibrational transfer. This bolt-on beauty also includes Warwick's legendary Just-A-Nut III tedur nut, which possesses outstanding vibration characteristics and facilitates impossibly low action for near-effortless playability. To top it off, the Pro Series Corvette $$'s neck includes steel reinforcement to safeguard against the dreaded buzz that often plagues the 12–24 fret region, along with fluorescent side dots for easy visibility — even on dark stages. Rock-solid Warwick machine heads round out the Pro Series Corvette $$'s outstanding features.

Thunderous MM-style humbuckers and active electronics

The Warwick Pro Series Corvette $$ is a thunderous beast, thanks to its passive MEC MM-style humbuckers. These hum-canceling, dual-coil pickups include a beefy ceramic magnet, yielding you phenomenal low-end punch and aggressive midrange growl. The bassists here at Irvine Art & Music appreciate the added sonic flexibility supplied by this bass guitar's 2-way active preamp, which includes volume, balance, treble, and bass knobs. To top it off, the Pro Series Corvette $$'s pickups are mounted using Warwick's proprietary system, which allows for a secure connection between the pickups and body, while enabling easy height adjustments.
