Would you trade your MM for a Warwick

[Dbox]

Someone offered me a warwick corvette proline 4 string for my stingrya 4 string and im considering it just because I feel it will be a better bass for my style of music ovarall. I really love my stingray alot though what would yous do

 

[Aussie Mark]

Nick? Is that you?

 

[phatduckk]

hell no

 

[Psychicpet]

I wouldn't but then again there are people who like Clay Aiken so..... I guess anything's possible when you're invincible......

 

[Tattooed]

I would as long as he threw in $700 so I could get another stingray.

 

[TSanders]

The answer to that question is, and will always be NO.

 

[phatduckk]

dont shoot me ... but the natural finishes on the W things look cool, but thats all. ive played em and otherwise hate em

they would make a decent coffee table tho

I played a Corvette proline with active/passive switch for a while. I really liked the bass, sounded very good, but I had a problem playing it while standing up, it just didn't played as good than, so I sold it. I regret it, but on the other hand, it wouldn't have worked out live. I also prefer maple necks, it felt like the neck was a bit slow, not as comfortable as my stingray.
But hey, that's personal taste, it might work perfectly for you.

I just pretty much did the exact opposite. Sold my Warwick so I could buy another MM.

 

[Aussie Mark]

I used my Warwick as firewood, and put the money I saved in buying firewood towards a new MM

 

[whamonkey]

No...as a matter of fact, I wouldn't even sell my Stringray to get my Lakland....and THAT is an awesome bass bro.

Best answer so far! Made me snort coffee.

I wouldn’t trade mine for a Chevy Corvette… if I had to keep the car. (If I could sell the car I’d do it, then reinvest the money in a very nice EBMM collection, booze and a new Jaco shirt.

Psycho

Thought I'd add a more thoughful response. I have (had) an active Corvette standard. The neck is a whole lot different than my MM basses, and I finally realized that after about an hour of playing it makes my wrist hurt. I also enjoy the way the MM cuts through the mix, something my Warwick never did. Actually, it did - but it was all bottom. With the MM basses you hear every nuance of my playing and I really dig that. No matter how hard my drummer is smashing his cymbals my bass is cutting through. I've also become addicted to that certain MM sound and I've yet to hear it come out of any Warwick. Still can't define what exactly that sound is, but fer now I'd say it's a funky, rubbery kind of burpy thing.

Is the Proline Warwick's entry level bass?
I had a chance to fondle a Thumb Warwick at GC but chose the Sterling.
For me its in the TONE. EBMM Made in USA too. Win Win in my book!

 

[element]

Nope, not me.

 

[xcental34x]

Heck. nah!

Srsly. Is this Nick?

 

[amper]

I would.

But then, I've got three StingRay's and only one Corvette Proline...

 

[Mobay45]

Not no, but HAYELL NO!

This has got to be Nick.

I don't know if the Corvette's neck is the same as the Thumb Bass, but the Thumb's neck feels like your're holding a brick. Kinda square shaped. And did not feel right for me at all.
