Warwick Bass Corvette 5 Multiscale Solid Black Satin

The Warwick DNA in a 5-String Bass Designed for Regular Playing

With its alder body, multi-laminate bolt-on neck, and Warwick-branded hardware, this bass embodies a modern approach: ergonomics, precise setup, and clean tones ready to fit into a band. The choice of a medium scale length (32" / 812.8 mm) enhances the comfort feel on a 5-string while maintaining a solid response on the low string.

For Which Bassist and Styles?

This 5-string electric bass is aimed at advanced beginners to intermediate bassists (and experienced players seeking a medium scale format) who want an instrument that is easy to set up and shape. The two J-style pickups, combined with the active electronics (Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble), cover a wide spectrum: pop, rock, funk, gospel, modern metal (with good definition), as well as studio/demo work thanks to a clear attack and controlled lows.

Sound

The alder body provides a natural balance: present but clear lows, useful mids to stand out in the mix, and highs that are never harsh. The pair of active MEC Dynamic Correction J pickups emphasize clarity and precision: the neck position delivers a round and deep foundation, while the bridge pickup highlights attack and grain, ideal for articulated lines and more "biting" parts. The active RockBass electronics with Bass and Treble controls make it easy to adapt to the amp and room: boosted lows for heavy riffs, or lifted highs for slap and harmonics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, a set of Warwick Red Strings .045-.135 (the same as factory-installed) is a safe choice for replacement. A microfiber cloth is also useful to preserve the finish and chrome hardware after each session.
