I've never seen one. It looks a little like the Corvette Hot Rod Ltd. I'd say your best bet is Custom Shop if you actually want it, but that will run you the big bucks.
 
I found it on the products page at Warwick.de. Found it under Products/Corvette/Special editions. Sure looks cool! Since my Corvettes Neck went south, and not so sure Im going to be able to get it fixed...Im kinda looking around...LOL

I'm just glad you're looking for a wick :) Check out the streamers if you want to drop a little more cash and still want a growly, tame sound. I love mine!
 
I love the look of mirrored P pups on the Vette. or any bass for that matter.
i.e. the Xbass
 
There's a 5 string for sale by forumer,Boston Asphalt2.
It's a Hot Rod lTD 2005 Corvette.

*the 5 string has soapbar split coil pickups instead of the reversed mirrored P's on the 4.
 
I win! (my original post) I knew I should have looked it up...

Big bucks indeedy Thomas.
:idea: But,If ya left out say the tone chambers & the fancy pants ekanga veneers & opted for an all maple body or a maple top with an ash back,it'd keep the price down quite a bit.
 
I can't see pics here at work but if it is a LTD Hot rod here are two:

5 stringers:

The bass in question has the "mirror P-PUs", similar
to an old USA BC Rich, which is dual P-PU but not in
a "mirror" config. The basses in the links have dual
wide soapbar PUs.

Dual split coil, aka P-PU, configs are more common
than your eyes will tell you. Some "soap bar" PU's
are actually rectangular shells covering staggered
split coils. You can "see" this by testing with a small
ferrous object [bridge saddle wrench] to locate the
actual pole slugs hidden under the cover.

Anywayz, I like my P-PUs staggered in the reverse
config [opposite of Fender], no matter where they
are located or how many are on the bass.

I guess the difference in the pickups between his desire and the ones in the links is that the ones in the links are 5 stringers and his is a 4 stringer.

here is the info:

it says mirror dual p-pickups on th 4 stringer and dual humbuckers on the 5.
:wink:
