Hey All -
Putting this out there though I may have a few options already….
Grabbed this off the bay a few months back….it sounds killer and plays like butter. Weight is good - balance excellent.
Why do I off it then? Being a lefty strung righty who plays melodically a lot…my flipped setup limits my upper range access….too bad, cause I dig the bass.
So…..I'd sell it for $850 or am open to 5er trades in the same general quality range, knowing that access is needed upon string flip.
Hit me up if you are interested.

I had a Corvette Proline 6 string years ago that was transparent blue with the solid flame maple body and Barts in it. That thing was unreal. It sounded amazing and sustained for days. The most piano like bass I've ever had. When I first bought it it was fretless and a 6 string fretless was too much for me so I had it fretted and my tech in Vancouver told me that it was the truest neck he'd ever seen. Tremendous quality, but I could never get my head around the Corvette body style so away it went.

Does this have the solid flame maple body? I'll bet it too is very piano like if so.

Yep mark....solid flame maple body...piano like is dead on with sustain and clarity...
It's a killer bass....just wished I could access upper reg. in my bastardized flipped way..
Btw, for all you normal lefties, the switch back to regular orientation is the easiest I've ever seen....the brass nut has 5 screws saddles for the strings...genius!!!!! Gotta love the Germans for good tech.

Out of all Warwick's designs (and the Streamer is more of a Steinberger/Spector design), I think the Infinity, Stuart Zender, and the Dolphin Pro 1 are superb for upper register neck access. The Corvette, not so much.

Still on the bay but price bump for members here......
$800 CONUS
I'll go international but buyer needs to cover shipping. I could send with neck off to save $$ as there is not a hard shell case.

Piece of cake, the bass hasn't been modified to accommodate reverse stringing :)
Just set up the bridge, reverse the order of the saddles back to its old state, and reverse the order of the individual adjustment screws in the nut and you're set. Gotta love the old Just-a-nut I!
