need help deciding what to get

[dylan]

so I've decided to get myself a corvette$$ as a present. but i cant decide what finish to get it in. the little square colour chips on the warwick site dont really give you an idea of what it will look like.

does anyone have some good colour pictures of them so i can see for myself.

Hello Dylan,

The internet is a great information source for this. Look for it in google in the same finish you want and you'll get a pretty close idea of what you'll get with the finished product.

The natural looks awesome...

these are all photos with finishes over an ash body (the same body wood as the $$ your after) or finishes that look the same whatever wood the body is made of





bassmonster's corvette (ash with burgundy red coloured oil)





bassmonster's rockbass (alder with ocean blue coloured oil but alder looks similar to ash)





Benedict's $$ (ash with nirvana black coloured oil)





Splinter's Thumb BO (seafoam green solid high polish - looks the same with whatever wood :wink: )





Blockrocker's $$ (ash in antique tobacco coloured oil)





Basscisco's fortress (ash with a honey violin coloured oil (i think))





Munkeh's corvette (ash(i think) with emeraude green (i think) coloured oil)





Two of Joe's basses

Top photo is a $$ (ash with the nirvana black coloured oil). bottom one is another corvette (white solid high poish-looks the same with whatever wood)





jDub's $$ (ash with a honey violin stain high polish)





anarchyok's vette (ash with the natural oil)

Tobacco looks awesome but that would be a custom shop order. You can get natural at the regular price. Keep us posted...

 

[dylan]

Keep us posted...

its gonna be about 2 months before i can get it but i figure if i have to special order it i will probably have to wait for at least that long. i'm also thinking about gold hardware as well.

 

[JanVanHove]

wow stround, you keep tabs on everyone it seems!

 

[The great Thib in the sky]

yeah, quite impressive Stroud!
I was going to advice Dylan just to have a look in the "show us your bass then" topic but you did the job !
By the way thanks for puting mine.

I'd also like to add that a solution is too go to your dealer and just have a look (and a try) at the corvette $$ and simply fall in love with the finish they have in stock! That's what happened to me!
I also considered to order a tobbaco or a red, then I went to try a $$ and the one they had was a natural finish. I just couldn't come back home without her!!!

So, let those beauties seduce you anyway, look is one thing... SOUND is another expecially when we talk about Warwick.

I hear these basses are better than Warwick's - www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr=1-...6/602-8498265-0868618?ie=UTF8&asin=B0009F8TOU

That is correct - they are better firewood than Warwicks - but then, I would NEVER throw a Warwick on the fire!

Stroud... do you have a job?

 

[Stroud]

Stroud... do you have a job?

holy crap that was awesome!

cheers the antique tobacco is one of my favourites too. almost looks like natural wood is you forget that ash is a pale wood :wink:

 

[Indianerdaniel]

Great job Stroud! But kinda scary too....

 

[Stroud]

[Gerry]
