Warwick GPS Corvette Ash Active 6-String Bass, Vintage Sunburst

Full Description

High Class Warwick Build

The Pro Series Warwick basses are built in Germany under the watchful eye of the Warwick team. Their eye for detail has really helped set Warwick apart from other bass guitar makers. The tough bolt-on construction, the 34” long scale neck and the jumbo frets, it all adds up to that classic Warwick look and feel. The Warwick GPS Corvette 6-String is a serious bass for serious bassists.

Exceptional Tonewood

Warwick have opted for swamp ash for the body of this bass. As a tonewood you can expect a lot of similarities with the popular ash body. With swamp ash you get a slightly wider spectrum. However, whilst this tonewood is similar to ash, it provides your tone with fuller response toward the midrange of frequencies, whilst still keeping ash's distinct brightness. Because of this, the GPS Corvette bass is versatile and can suit many styles.

Whether you’re playing up or down the neck, you can expect the highs to shine beautifully through the mix and the lows to rumble.

Adjust the Nut

Warwick’s Just A Nut III is featured as standard on the Warwick Corvette. The nut is an incredibly important part of any guitar. Often the domain of a guitar's bridge, the Just A Nut gives players more options for changing these settings by moving them away from just one part of the bass. The Just A Nut III is the newest version of this innovative system and is essential to modifying the playability of your bass to give you the best possible sound.

Unmistakable, Booming Tone

Fuel your performance. Loaded with two expertly-designed MEC active pickups, they emit an organic sound, decorating your music with character. Active pickups are renowned for their ability to punch through the mix, filling your sound with the depth it needs to stun the audience.

The unmatched booming quality of a dual active pickup configuration entails bassy, low-end riffs that are certain to complement your sound with a natural, open feel. The superb, dynamic characteristics of these pickups make this bass ideal for rock, metal and jazz styles. Take complete control of your sound and sculpt your tone to your desires. The active MEC active pickup system is equipped with volume, balance, and stacked treble/bass controls to provide even more versatility.
