Reliable, fast-playing tonewoods for a professional sound and feel
From head to heel, the Corvette $$'s top-notch tonewoods thoroughly solidify the "pro" in Pro Series. At its core sits a swamp ash body, delivering punchy lows and clear highs with far-reaching resonance. This pairs perfectly with a unique ovangkol neck, imbuing considerable stability into the instrument with some extra heft. Its wenge fingerboard feels ultra-smooth to the touch while making great use of Warwick's Invisible Fretwork Technology — this impressive system allows for frets to be inserted with absolute precision and consistency, preventing fret bite and further increasing neck stability. With excellent woods and incredible construction like this, the Corvette $$ honors its legendary name without question.
Passive MEC humbuckers deliver powerful and versatile tones
In their quest to encompass the widest variety of bass tones in a single instrument, Warwick loaded the Corvette $$ with a pair of their MEC passive humbuckers. These pickups are a fantastic choice when needing the flexibility to handle multiple sounds and styles with plenty of power to pummel audiences with waves of booming bass when need be. Combine the MEC humbuckers with the onboard 2-band EQ, and sculpting your sound with surgical precision is a cinch. Even better, Warwick included a 3-way mini-toggle for each pickup, switching between series, parallel, or single-coil operation for even more sonic options — Sweetwater's gigging and session bassists appreciate this level of detail and tonal versatility when seeking a workhorse for all their needs. The cherry on top is the Corvette $$'s push-pull functionality for engaging and disengaging the active preamp, another testament to Warwick's incredible attention to detail and dedication to the player.
Warwick: a triumph of German engineering
Hans Peter Wilfer founded the family-owned Warwick brand in 1982. Since then, Warwick has spread globally with endorsers like John Entwistle of The Who, Adam Clayton of U2, Robert Trujillo of Metallica, Bootsy Collins, P-Nut of 311, and many more spanning any style you can imagine. Warwick takes pride in channeling inspiration from classic German instrument makers and marrying it with execution and production rooted in modern German engineering techniques. Warwick boasts worldwide recognition but maintains artisan output with only a few thousand Pro Series basses made each year. The forward-thinking company also takes pride in its eco-friendly measures — Warwick was one of the early adopters of FSC sustainable wood practices and even put their extra wood scraps to use as fuel for green energy on-site at their plant in Germany.
