It features dual humbucker pickups and an active preamp, giving you deep lows and a clear, harmonically beautiful top end.  This is the sort of bass that has no problem cutting through the mix, heavy amongst slamming drums and thick, distorted guitars.  But, it's also at home for super clean situations.  It's a truly versatile instrument.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Corvette $$ is loaded with two MEC humbuckers. Each has its own 3-way switch to give you full tonal control.  Go to series mode for a thick and powerful signal that boosts the low-mid frequencies.  Go to parallel mode for a clearer with more scooped, punchy tone and great high-frequency definition.  And go to single coil mode for mid-heavy tone perfect for fingerstyle playing.  You can play around with all of that to really dial in a sound that is all you, without compromise.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe bottom line is that a Warwick Custom Shop Masterbuilt bass is always going to be special, but one like this takes it to another level.  We can see why Warwick chose to feature it at the 2016 NAMM show.  Thankfully the previous owner kept it in great condition - it's quite clean.  The techs in our shop have setup the bass to play perfectly.  A gig bag is included as is the original owners guide, user kit and paperwork.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe'll be sad to see this one go, and we think it could happen fast, so don't sleep on this one if you're serious about it!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopwood: 1\" Special Lamination Top  Flame Maple \u0026amp; Bubinga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackwood: Swamp Ash Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched Headstock: Special Lamination and Natural Transparent Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Just-A-Nut III Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine heads: Warwick with wooden knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Flamed Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Flamed Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide Dots: Illuminated Side Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (Long Scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret material \u0026amp; size: 24 Jumbo Bronze (extra hard) frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: IFT - Invisible Fretwork Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Flat body shape for top \u0026amp; back side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Passive MEC MM Chrome Pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Active Warwick 2-way electronics w\/ rechargeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithium Battery (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePot layout: Volume P\/P\/Balance\/Treble\/Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch: Two 3-way mini-switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction Switch: separate configuration of the humbuckers (series\/parallel\/single coil)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge system: 2-piece solid Brass Warwick Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap system: Warwick security locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural Satin Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Colour: Chrome Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate: Individually Issued Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Kit: Warwick \"Sound of Wood\" User Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Manual: German and English manuals included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: H-162047-16\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warwick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49328782016755,"sku":"88WCK001","price":5999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img45456.jpg?v=1783035681","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/pre-owned-2016-warwick-custom-shop-masterbuilt-corvette-bass-flamed-maple-bubinga-with-gig-bag","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
