Warwick Introduces Corvette $$ NT Special Edition 68 Bass
Warwick has unveiled the Corvette $$ NT Special Edition 68, a custom shop bass inspired by the General Motors 1968 Model Corvette Stingray. The hot-rodded bass shares the car’s style with a Candy Apple red finish and an airbrushed aluminum center section while the Corvette name is inlaid into the tigerstripe ebony fingerboard.
Available in 4-, 5-, and 6-string versions, the bass features neck through construction with a swamp ash body and maple neck. Electronics include a pair of MEC passive MM style humbuckers matched with an active MEC 2-band EQ.

If it is modeled after a ’68, that neck inlay is a few decades off. I love Warwick basses (used to play a Thumb) and have owned many Vettes. This is, to me, goofy. I can’t imagine taking that to a gig.
While it’s a great looking bass, it has nothing at all to do with the ’68 Corvette. Candy Apple Red was not a factory color in 1968, and the “CORVETTE” neck inlay is not the same logo/font as was used in ’68.
Words that would only be spoken by someone who was a car guy first. Hmm….
the only thing I don’t really like is the corvette inlay. problem: for that price I better love every detail.
Maybe someone at Warwick own a candy-red 68 Vette they are trying to write off as a business expense? hahahaha
Big LOL! Warwick fenderise itself…..
Is he demonstrating the bass or showing of his playing? There are two switches and 4 control knobs on that thing. Isn’t there anything to say or demonstrate about them?
Shouldn’t the guy actually be playing the BASS?
