I just got this bass recently from a fellow forum member, but as my never-ending appetite for trying new basses dictates, I can pass this one on. It's an exceptional example of Warwick basses:

2001, made-in-Germany Warwick Corvette FNA, 5-strings, left-handed.

-Swamp ash body
-Flame maple top
-Honey finish
-Ovankol neck
-Wenge fretboard
-Gold hardware
-Original Seymour Duncan preamp (bass, treble, and adjustable contour pull-up knob)
-Three-way switch (series, parallel, and single coil)
-MEC pickups
-Dunlop Straplocks installed
-Weight is only 9.1 lb!
-Very comfortable neck, much slimmer than the typical Warwick neck. I'm very picky about neck thickness, and I can play this bass all day long.

Comes with original Warwick gig bag, and a brand-new Road Runner hard case. It also includes the original Warwick Owner's Kit, which includes wax, wrenches, manual, and a sticker.

Condition: it's in excellent-plus condition. The frets have minimal signs of wear. The only cosmetic flaws are some tiny nicks around the area where your plucking hand rests. It seems that a previous owner wore maybe a wristwatch while playing, so there are tiny marks in the wood, but they are very difficult to see or photograph. There might be a tiny nick or two around the body, but nothing worth discussing. This bass has been very well maintained and cared for.

Neck is perfectly straight and action is as low as you want it. So this basses are now available only through the Custom Shop and the last ones available had a price of more than $3000?

I'm just trying to get what I have in it; asking $950 plus actually shipping. Paypal okay (verified members and confirmed address). Will ship internationally. Please PM me with your city and country for a shipping quote.

Thanks.

I'm assuming you wouldn't want to trade Schecter studio 5 + cash for it?

If you buy a bass from Carlos it will come set up beautifully too.

The only basses I'm interested (at the moment) are 4-string Jazz basses, but I prefer the cash because I have a bass on order. But I would think about it if you have, for example, a recent Fender USA Jazz (not MIMs or MIJs), or a Sadowsky, Mike Lull, Lakland, Alleva-Coppolo, Nordstrand, a '70s Fender. . . ha, I dream on. . .

A long shot, but I might also be looking for a G-K MB500 or MB Fusion amp.

I wish i had any of those haha! My basses consist of an old ibanez 4 beater, the schecter 5, and a lefty EUB. If you don't sell this (which I'm sure you will) then maybe i'll have the money sometime :P

sigh college costs too damn much

If I had some GAS $$$ left over, I would be all over this bass. Great Bass, Great Price....

Warwick's are some of the BEST quality in left handed I have ever seen and owned. Good luck with your sale, Carlos. This shouldn't last long at this price. :D
