Nailing that natural look and sound
If you want a real natural looker, then this Pro Series Corvette Standard is the axe for you! The bubinga body not only holds up in terms of style, but it also offers a warm tone with a very present midrange that has led bassists around Sweetwater to find the Pro Series Corvette Standard to be quite genre fluid. A dark wenge fingerboard rests on the classic “C”-shaped ovangkol neck, providing a nice familiar feel that bassists of all backgrounds will appreciate.
Set up for success on any stage
A grand total of 24 unmarked, extra-hard jumbo brass frets adorn the fingerboard of this beauty, meeting a dependable pair of proprietary hardware at both ends with the 3D 2-piece bridge and Warwick tuners angled toward the fretboard in that iconic stance. Each fret has undergone their Invisible Fretwork Technology (IFT), ensuring a playing experience across the fret ends that’s so smooth, you’ll hardly feel them at all! But have no fear — a killer line of fluorescent side dots will keep you grounded in dimly lit live settings!
MEC Active J pickups
The Pro Series Corvette Standard’s versatility doesn’t end with tonewoods and feel, though. Two MEC Active J-style stacked coil pickups supply a 1-2 knockout punch at the bridge and neck positions, delivering plenty of presence for your rhythm section. A master volume and tone control give you some standard shaping options, with a third balance knob for really finding that sweet spot. A push-pull function even lets you bypass the active preamp! We’ve seen Corvettes utilized in a variety of musical settings from death metal to jazz, and with a pair of MEC-Js onboard, it isn’t hard to see why.
