    FS: 1998 Warwick FNA Corvette

    After a lot of debate I've decided to let my 1998 FNA go. It's in absolutely great condition, it's just not what I'm after anymore. A little bit about the bass. It's got a wenge/wenge neck, Seymour Duncan 3 band preamp, and I replaced the original JAN2 with a brass JAN3. The bass comes with a...

    Give me a hand here!

    Hey! I've been playing bass for about 9 years, since I was 8. I got one of those package deals from my parents when I was 11 or so, and just 2-3 years ago my uncle-in-law built me a sweet 4 stringed bass. A month or so ago I bought a cheap, used Yamaha 5 stringer, I felt I needed a 5 stringer...

    On the search for a four string Corvette $$

    Hi everyone! I'm new here, so I apologize if this post is not in the right place. I am looking for a 4 string Corvette double buck, I've fallen in love with the bolt-on neck version of this bass (NT is too expensive for me to afford) but I'm having a hard time finding many of them. The few...

    Battery problems...

    Hi fellow Warwickians, I've been having trouble with my Corvette FNA Jazzman - it's draining batteries ridiculously fast, like every couple of days. I really want to be using it rather than my back up, but I'm not sure if I could fix it or not, and I don't really know what the problem...

    Neck Profile for 2004 LTD FNA?

    Just got my hands on a sweet 2004 LTD, can't put this thing down. It's my first Warwick (of many, most likely) so I haven't been able to compare it to as many as I'd like, but the neck is deliciously chunky. Just wondering if this is an example of Warwick's "Standard" neck profile, or possibly...

    NBD: 2004 Warwick LTD/FNA Jazzman

    Ladies and gentlemen, it has arrived! A few weeks ago I contracted the worst case of G.A.S. possible, and for whatever reason, I found myself absolutely needing to own one of these basses. Problem is only 250 of them were made (hooray LTDs!) and the people that DO have them typically don't sell...

    Do Warwicks sound better with age?

    Might just be me, but I swear my 2009 Corvette is starting to sound closer to a Thumb (less bright, deeper, more well rounded). Am I alone?:!:

    saving battery

    hi, I'm the new owner of a corvette 5 str bass and have a little question about preamp and batteries. It seems that the preamp eat a lot of battery, the last one I changed was only 10 days duration... maybe there is a trick to save battery when I do not use the bass: pulling the volume knob or...

    Corvette -> Sansamp + Big Bass Muff Pi (song)

    My Cadaver v.1 by Morgan's 303 on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free I normally play with fingers, but for this song I wanted the sound of a pick. Unfortunately, it's hard to get Warwicks sounding right with a pick. Hope you guys listen. :)

    How to shield a Passive Corvette?

    I get terrible single coil hum pretty much everywhere in my house. Its the classic hum everywhere, unless I turn EXACTLY the right direction. Its definitely better in some rooms than others. I had this same problem with my Fender Jazz, so I replaced the pups with some hum-cancelling ones...

    Hey guys! Here's a short clip of the Sexy Hair stage performance at the Salon Centric Hair show in Grand Rapids, MI a few months ago. The sound quality once the solo is over is not the best..
