Warwick Pro Series Corvette Standard 4-string Bass Guitar - Nirvana Black

Nailing that natural look and sound

If you want a real natural looker, then this Pro Series Corvette Standard is the axe for you! The US swamp ash body not only holds up in terms of style, but it also offers a universally resonant tone that can really favor upper-register fingerstyle runs in a jazz fusion setting, though bassists around  Irvine Art & Music have found the Pro Series Corvette Standard to be quite genre fluid. A dark wenge fingerboard rests on the classic “C”-shaped ovangkol neck, providing a nice familiar feel that bassists of all backgrounds will appreciate. 

Set up for success on any stage

A grand total of 24 unmarked, extra-hard jumbo brass frets adorn the fingerboard of this beauty, meeting a dependable pair of proprietary hardware at both ends with the 3D 2-piece bridge and Warwick tuners angled toward the fretboard in that iconic stance. Each fret has undergone their Invisible Fretwork Technology (IFT), ensuring a playing experience across the fret ends that’s so smooth, you’ll hardly feel them at all! But have no fear — a killer line of fluorescent side dots will keep you grounded in dimly lit live settings! 

MEC Active J pickups

The Pro Series Corvette Standard’s versatility doesn’t end with tonewoods and feel, though. Two MEC Active J-style stacked coil pickups supply a 1-2 knockout punch at the bridge and neck positions, delivering plenty of presence for your rhythm section. A master volume and tone control give you some standard shaping options, with a third balance knob for really finding that sweet spot. A push-pull function even lets you bypass the active preamp! We’ve seen Corvettes utilized in a variety of musical settings from death metal to jazz, and with a pair of MEC-Js onboard, it isn’t hard to see why.
