Used corvette standard vs new musicman sub

[IPolkaLikeThis!]

i went to guitar ceneter last night, and i played an older warwick corvette standard, with a thinner neck, and i fell in love, and it was only 600. but i just got a musicman sub stingray, and i love it too. should i sell the sub and buy the warwick, even though i havent had it more than a week?

[edgebass5]

okay, if you had said a real musicman, I would have had to think harder, but you're referring to an SUB.... Honestly, I've found the SUB's to be pretty poor quality I'm sorry to say. On top of that, older Warwicks (anything pre-dating 1998) thoroughly own Warwicks that were made post-1997. So my vote would go towards the Vette, but keep in mind that those are very different sounding and feeling basses.

I would go for the warwick.If it was a real musicman,i wouldve gone for that.

SUB basses=garbage.

Edge, you need to stop worrying what people think of you. "Umm, guys..I'm sorry but I know everything. I'M SO SORRY GUYS OMG PLZ DONT HATE ME."

You gotta get in there, Edge. Shove your mighty dick of bass-gear knowledge right in their faces. Be like "MY NAME IS EDGEBASS, HEAR ME ROAR!" Then roar, really loudly. Just to get into character.

so he knows more then you...dont be a dick about it


i preff warwick over music man, just the feel, mind you i've never owned one of either but i plan to in the future

[AlmightyPancake]

You're a rather silly person.

[blizzard]

I would take the warwick I've been very disapointed by all the musicmans I've tried.

[Psychopsilocybin]

that's a good price for a pre 98 warwick, get it
plus, MM Subs feel so strange, like the body is coated with sandpaper or something

[Misanthropic]

What is it that make SUBs poor quality?

Is the only difference on the post 1997 warwicks the fretboard, or is there something else as well? I'm pretty sure mine is post 1997, but I'm not sure of the exact year.

I believe pre-1997 Warwicks had thinner necks made completely out of Wenge. More recent ones have fatter necks made of Ovangkol with a Wenge fingerboard. Also I think people say electronics were better.

[edgebass5]

^^^Well there's that, but I've never heard anything regarding the electronics. They used the same electronics then as they do now.

The other difference was that back then Warwick did most of its assembly/construction by hand, in 1998 they switched to a largely automated process. So, with the older ones you get a thinner neck made of wenge, and more hand-built quality.

Warwick fo' sho'!

[thelowsoundofbass]

worwick rules anything else that isn't custom made

yeah, so i talked to my dad, and he wont let me trade in or sell the sub,

does anybody know how much a downpaymen can be for a 600 dollar bass, if i were to put it on layaway.

[pukeboy66]

tell your dad youd be getting a much better bass

i mean ... what the hell

yeah, i told him hat, and he said i was being greedy and i would need to buy it with my own money, not by selling my gift. so yeah, i want to put a downpayment on it and then get a better job. and since im single, i dont have to get more stuff for my girl.

Technically, you're 18, you're doing this out of kindness. Just depends on if you want to hurt his feelings or not, something like that.

But I'd say the Warwick is by far the better instrument.

Yah! Hand-built quality...like Wishbass!

Sorry, what with the wishbass thread and all, I couldn't help myself...

[Mr. Pickle]

get a kramer

[Luchesi]

Warwick. No doubt in my mind.

Though I'd take a Warwick Thumb over either one...
