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. For professional bass guitar design and construction, choose Warwick. The Warwick GPS Corvette Ash Active 5-String Bass 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, with Just A Nut III, Warwick has offered a lot of flexibility for adjusting the action and adapting to different string gauges. 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.
