| Post subject: | Warwick Corvette RBSS 30" scale |
Walked into one of the many guitar stores in Osaka the other day & they had a 2011 short scale Corvette Rockbass so I had to play it. It was actually very nice, a little thin sounding with eq flat but had plenty of growl & bottom end with the bass eq knob dimed & the neck was glossed, not the usual RB satin finish & it was gorgeous to look at with a very professional eye to detail; untypical of a lot of RBs of that era. Black body & not downsized it seems, same as a full scale as I A/B'ed it against a righty in stock. Price was ¥28,000, about $250 I guess so I'm still thinking about it. It was fun to play but felt a little 'toyish', & I don't really need another 4 string but... |

I appreciate hearing the positive review. I just ordered a medium-scale 5-string RB Corvette Basic Active. It should be here in a couple weeks, so I'll definitely post a review/video after I've had a couple days to get used to it. |

I am considering a similar setup but am worried about the sound of the low B at 32". I await your review. |

I've had a 32" 5-string for ~20 years(custom built), and picked up one of the Brice 30" lefty 5-strings from Rhondo Music earlier this year. For me they have plenty of low-end, but I go for more of a mid-range tone, and run medium-light gauge strings. I do play through a 2x10/1x15 rig live, which adds quite a bit of rumble back in. I'll post some audio/video tracks after I get the Warwick, and compare it to my other 2 5-strings. I'll include some samples plugged straight into my Presonus interface into Logic also. |
