Very happy with it!

Rejome 22.06.2026

This is my first Warwick bass and I'm very happy with it. I cannot compare to the higher range basses from Warwick but the built quality and sound feel premium.

The bass looks awesome. I got the ocean blue transparent matt finish. I am a fan of the natural look so this is a bit of a side-step for me but I love the colour and the fact that you can still see and feel the wood.

The neck is chunkier than on my Cort artisan or an Ibanez, but it doesn't feel as chunky as on a Fender either. Maybe halfway between the two, similar to a Sterling Stingray. The bass is comfortable, reasonably light for a 5 string. All the hardware seem good quality and straightforward. It feels like there plenty of room for adjustments but I haven't messed with that yet. The tuners are smooth and hold their place.

In terms of sound, it seems versatile enough (at least for me). You can get a very clean sound or the typical growl of the corvette. Slap sounds awesome.

All in all very satisfied with it and would recommend it.
