I've had my newest Corvette now for about six weeks. My previous ones were all paired with entry-level combo amps. I've got to say that I am really pleased with the tones I get out of it. It took an upgrade in combo amps for me to finally get "The Sound of Wood." I had thought that phrase to be a typical marketing phrase.

I find that I wear it higher up than my other three basses. It has a little hum when I play close to our ceiling fan, but that goes with single coils and is part of the "charm??" of them. I also like the passive electronics with a simple tone control. My other basses are active and have 2 and 3 band EQs. There is something to be said for simpleness.
 
Cool! Always nice to have different basses for different music or situations!
 
My Corvette standard is currently in semi-retirement as my backup bass, but it's still a monster in the tone department. I still pull it out when I'm doing some straight up, rock shows.
 
my vet is still my go to bass,it still is the one i'm the most used to though my rb fortress is a close second and my stremett is my all time favorite.
