standard

Whats really the difference between them? Here is what i think: Scale length - the vampyre is 34" while the darklord is 35" ... this means a lot as far as playability is concerned. The vampyre plays really smooth and soft as butter, meaning your vibratos, tapping and melodic lines will really...

Hy guys! I'm about to trade some gear for a used Warwick Streamer Standard 5 (one PU version). I don't know the year yet. It has one active EMG pickup (I think the owner swaped the original MEC), one piece bridge and the finish is French Violet coloured oil. It's in good condition. The problem...

I've just ordered a used Warwick Corvette Standard 5 String used (I couldn't resist the price) so now I can finally be a bit closer to my favorite bassist (even though he uses a streamer stage II /cry). Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what year model it is. When I get it, will it be easy to...

I picked up a Corvette Standard 5 yesterday for a good price at GC. The fret ends need a little work, but it sounds really great. The only thing I found was that it's heavy so today I went to another GC to try out a $$ 5 string. The bass played much better than the standard in that the action...

Hi mates, if you want to hear how works Vette with bubinga body in a metal song, go here: and choose the song called Bloodmoon Rising. Hope you'll like it ;o)

Hey guys. I have an '88 THumb NT4 with small dots on the fingerboard face. I have about 200 pics of warwicks on my comp and just noticed that out of all of them i was only able to find 4 Thumbs with the small fboard dots. I saw numerous basses with the other availiable inlays but only four Thumb...

It's for sale on the cheap, pics - The seller says it's a '95, but Judging by the serial number id say its a '99. Worth much?

Hey Guys! Im trying to install an active EMG Jbass set into my Corvette Standard, however the jack supplied with the EMG's wont work as the Warwick jack is a barrell jack and the EMG one is not. I was wondering can anyone inform me if the Warwick jack is a stereo jack so I caa use it with the...

Hi! I'm desperately looking for a G string saddle replacement, as the former owner of my warwick corvette lost it. Instead I'm using a plastic saddle, that results not great at all for sustain... So does anybody know how can I finding a new original warwick saddle ?

I am looking for one of these and I heard that Warwick does not make fretless corvettes in bubinga passive in 5 string versons :shock: .Is this true? anybody?

I've been playing bass for a good while now and am interested in buying a fretless. Here's the thing, I am an avid slap bass player and I want a fretless that can still bring the funk/slap when needed. I played a Corvette Standard fretless and it seemed rather lifeless. Is the Thumb BO worth...

I know I barely got the Dolphin, but I've been gassing for a Streamer almost as much. Did my usual search on Ebay for Streamer in musocal instruments, saw one listed as a Warwick Streamer, no bids, less than a day to go, $250 starting price. Needless to say I checked it out. The description...

Hi all! I am a relatively new bass player and have been playing for just over a year, I really enjoy it and am looking to upgrade my bass. I currently have a cheap Ibanez - which to be fair, has been excellent for the price I paid. However, I have saved a little money, am taking my playing...

I wondered if it was possible to get, for exemple, a dolphin SN without the TCS ?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a Warwick Corvette used but I need a bit of advice first. I've read through the other threads comparing the Ash and Bubinga Corvette Standards and they have been very helpful. The other models that I seem to see often are the Corvette Double Buck $$ and the Corvette...

I currently have a Squier P-Bass :( . I am looking to upgrade and I've narrowed it down to the Fender Standard Jazz Bass or the Warwick Rockbass Streamer Standard 4-String Bass. I was wondering which would be the better choice?

I, of course use strap locks on my Corvette Standard, but just recently, vibrations from simply playing my bass caused friction between the strap lock and the rubber stopper and when I took off my strap, my rubber stopper fell to the floor in two pieces. I tried to tighten the screw, but the...

Hello! I have just bought a Warwick Corvette Std. from january 1998, and I am proud to be a new member of the Warwick family! I have always played Fender, Hôfner and on occasion Danelectro and Gibson, but the Corvette really blows them all away with its phenomenal sound and craftsmanship! Wow...

Hello ! I play with a 4 four strings .. a streamer LX ( I love it ! ) and I,m interested to explored the 6 strings bass. I really like the corvette standard .. I'll try a 4 strings. Did the 6 strings with soapbar have the similar sound that the 4 strings with jazz pickups ? For those who have...
