Could someone in this forum help me find some information and what year my Warwick Corvette was made? It has serial number: B-081671-01 (I guess it was made in 2001 since the serial number ends -01)
I’ve tried punching in my serial number on this site, but couldn’t get any information there.
This bass has a replacement neck. Would it be the same serial number on the replacement neck as the original neck?
 
Serial No.:
B-081671-01
Article Code:
1244730000CPASHOWW
produced:
21/02/2001
Info:
Corvette Standard, 4-string
Natural Oil finish
Swamp Ash body
Ovangkol neck
Chrome hardware


Its from the link you have tried, with the serial number you have entered...
 
Thanks!
Anyhow I can’t get that information to fit with my bass, because I believe my Warwick is made out of bubinga.
 
If you post some detailed pictures, we will tell you everything you need to know :-)
 
Hmmm, for sure swamp ash and bubinga are very different horses. You can see the difference from the postal office. No transparent or translucent or colored oil or whatever you can call it can hide the difference. But if you really want to know more, now that you know some about the neck, you can look under the bridge, hoping its not distroyed as on TravisMoores refurbishment projet.

Here are some pictures of my bass, and I hope these pictures can help.
If there is any specific detail you need pictures of please notice me, and I’ll try to put out some more pictures.
As you can see the number under the bridge is 060601.

That's swamp ash with a honey violin coloured oil finish.
 
Ok, my fault:x I’ve always assumed that this red/brown wood was bubinga.
Thanks for the clarification:)

Thats a very nice smooth grain Swamp Ash. Bubinga mostly have only oil finish, not coloured oil finish, wich is actualy some lacquer finish.
 
Thanks!
After I had taken the pictures and removed the bridge, I saw that my bass badly needed some cleaning, oiling and a new setup. So I gave it some “tender, love and care”, and after the service it became my nr.1 bass again, so something good came out of my little blunder;)
