Can anyone tell me whether the 3 piece neck on the Corvette$$ - (the one with the 2 MM-stylee pickups) - has a different profile to the single piece neck on the Corvette standard? If it is different how would you describe it - e.g. like a J bass / P-bass / Rickenbacker etc?? I've found plenty of Corvette standards to try out in various shops but no $$s and it sounds like it could be the one I'm after but haven't found one I could try.
 
I've played several Corvette Std.s and I own a Corvette $$ (Sweet bass :D ). There is no noticeable difference really. They both feel the same and they're both made of Ovangkol so you practicaly have no difference in sound either.
 
Owl,

I own a Corvette Double Buck and I have to tell you that this bass responds very prompt and has a beautiful tone. As I don't had/have a Corvette Standard, I can't tell you more.

I have some observations regarding to Corvette Double Buck's sound and sustain, but it's not relevant if you want to chose only between Corvettes.
 
As far as I can tell all the bolt-on Warwicks use the same stock necks. There is very little or no difference in neck profiles between body shapes.

Strange... The product info pages indicate that the $$ has a 4 stripes laminated ovangkol neck whereas for all the rest of the Corvettes it only mentions an ovangkol neck. I wonder if Owl was right in the first place. Anyone else with information on this?
 
My 'vette standard has 3 pc laminated neck (or 5 piece if you count the headstock). Didn't notice any difference in either construction or neck profile when I was comparing the std to the $$.
