What strings do you recommend for STD 4? Has anyone tried DR Black Beauties, or Fender SS Flats? Which round wounds do you like? Which flat wounds do you like? And can you A-B the resulting sounds Round vs Flats have on a STD (fretted)?

I would really like to know how a Thumb BO 4 compares to a Corvette STD 4 (bubinga). I spent all day playing basses, and came to the decision that I like the STD 4 better than anything that I've played. My only real problem is I was unable to find a Thumb BO to play. I've found a new...

The local shop received some new Warwick STDs in (sold the 2 $$). 4 and 5 string, active, bubinga. 4 and 5 string, passive, ash. I've not owned an active bass yet; all I know is that you can get more puch and more sounds. However: How "clean" is the sound (with age does it develope...

I really have a dilemma. I’d been looking to trade up from my MIM J bass to a MIA P bass or P bass deluxe; but then I ran across 3 Warwick basses and I can’t stop thinking about them [Corvette STD 4 string passive, $$ 4 string (red), and a $$ 5 string (black): all right at $1000] I just...

Can anyone tell me anything about this Streamer Std? It looks like a rockbass (with the bridge and the humbuckers). If it's a full on Streamer, is $400 a goo deal for this bass? -Yos

I'm a lefty and found a great deal on a Corvette Std. w/ passive Pups. I really wanted the active Pups but this a heck of a deal. What are your thoughts on the passive pups in this bass? I play everything from blues to punk and I have a MarkBass Little Mark II amp w/ GK 212 cab. Thanks for any...

I was wondering, is it possible to build a corvette std bass, but with a streamer ash body (bolt on)? How much extra would that cost :?:

Gents, I have a line on a late 90's Streamer Standard single pickup 4 string bass. I would rate it a 7 out of 10 with some pretty good dings around the bolt holes. How much would you give for one of these? Would it be a good companion to my Thumb Bleached Blonde? Thanks, Tom

Could GC special order a Vette Fretless Std. with Barts?

I have a chance of buying a used fretless Corvette 4 string Std. for a reasonable amount. The bass is flawless just under $700.00. No scratches and no dents. Would $700.00 be worth it? Or should I just but a new one for $1040.00.

Hey guys...I just got a 5 string Streamer STD, with 1 pickup. I have a few questions about it: 1) What does the push/pull pot do? Is it a series/parallel switch? 2) The finish is pretty beat up, what can I do to restore it?

I jsut received my lefty corvette. It is supposed to be active and i think it is, yet the bill says its passive. it has the knobs for active (push/pull, and thee stacked knob), but it's a little strange i only have bills for a passive bass. ( i received this from Warwick Factory in Ventura). I...

I'm thinking of replacing the stock MEC's with Bartolini pups on my Vette. There are 3 variations of the J-bass in the Bart catalog... any suggestions, please ?

G'day! In the coming months I will be looking at purchasing a Corvette Standard 6 string in unlined Fretless. I recently got a quote on it and it would be around 2600 AUD (Australian dollars). I also got a quote on the exact same model with a Wenge neck (from the custom shop), and that quote...

I love this bass...

I put some Thomastik Jazz Flats on my plain old Corvette Std. (and it is fretted) and and it sounds great! I tried them on my Jazz bass(of course :wink: ) but it sounded dull and thumpy in an unimpressive way. Next they went on a poor old Ibanez I defretted for fun and they sounded good but I...
