However there is nothing regular about soap bar PU's and in and out phase switches, along with Actives.
Seems like a regular $$, if you have in/out phase switches instead of parrelel/single/sequantial then its a modifed bass.
I'd have to double check, but I recall the Proline was the Corvette model to go into production in '92. They did eventually have a maple, flame-maple body, but it looks like the first and then some later ones were indeed Ash. Here's a '92 with what looks to be an Ash body:

That is of course if you don't count the originator of the Corvette model, the '91 LTD "Infinette"...or also known as the "Streamer Corvette".
It looks like there must have been a run of Ash body models, 4&5, at least in '95, which is where that four string in the Basschat ad is that I posted above.
@verb What year did that magazine review come out? If it was early '90s, It wouldn't surprise me at all that a review at the time would list the Proline as a standard Corvette, or just a Corvette, when that was the only Corvette around, sans the LTD the year prior. If that review came out early 2000s, maybe it was just a mistake with the photo.
I don't recall when the classic as we know it now standard Corvette came out, minus the proline tag. Maybe early 2000's ish...after the FNA made it's appearance for a while.
I'm getting a little bit rusty with my timeline, of course correct me if any of that is incorrect, dear Wickheads
Warwick kind of changes stuff on the fly it seems, but a 2 piece body and 7 piece neck don't strike me as "proline". But, what do I know anyway?
I have seen a few Prolines with Ash bodies. I have seen them with active and with passive electronics.
)That neck will be fine. The lack of volute was only a problem with some necks - wenge IIRC. The fact it is a 5 string neck also helps as there is more meat too it.Hola, again!
Thank you, guys, specially you, @Hoggles, that's some deep research you did. I owe you a beer. Gotta love this forum!
Right now my only concern about that bass is, since my plan about getting another 5 string is to keep my Infinity SN5 away from heavy gigging/touring, if that vintage neck without volute would resist as fine as the "modern" ovankol neck on the Infy... Any thoughts? experience? Isn't that Proline some kind of "gem" itself? (Maybe should I start to collect Warwicks instead of playing ' em??
Cheers.
