Up for sale is a beautiful, highly desirable 2003 German-manufactured Warwick Corvette Standard 5-String bass in excellent condition (Serial Number: L 102689-03).

This is from the coveted pre-2010 era of German production, highly sought after by players and collectors for its superior craftsmanship, robust build quality, and incredible tonewoods compared to modern equivalents.

Specs & Wood Selection

Body: Solid Bubinga with a natural oil finish (gives it that legendary punch and heavy sustain). Neck: Solid, multi-piece Ovangkol bolt-on neck (straight, rock-solid stability).

Fingerboard: Wenge featuring Warwick’s trademark bell-brass frets.

Electronics: Fully Active MEC J/J Pickups paired with an internal MEC active 2-band preamp.

Controls: Volume (with push/pull active/passive bypass), Balance, and a stacked concentric Treble/Bass pot for ultimate on-board tone shaping.

Hardware: Chrome original 2-piece Warwick bridge and original Warwick tuners.

Condition This instrument has been exceptionally well cared for and is easily in Very Good to Excellent condition. Because it features a natural oil finish, many of these older models suffer from deep nail gouges or heavy buckle rash—this one is incredibly clean with tasteful natural player wear. The wood grain is gorgeous, the neck joint is perfectly tight, the truss rod functions exactly as it should, and the bell-brass frets show very minimal wear. No scratchy pots or hardware issues; it is fully tested, quiet, and ready to play.

If you are looking for that unmistakable, growling Warwick tone coupled with early-2000s German production quality and a premium active electronics package, this is the one.
