Product Overview
The Corvette $$ features a US swamp ash body that provides exceptional tonal balance with the bright, punchy characteristics and excellent sustain that has made swamp ash the choice of professional bassists worldwide. The ovangkol neck with C-shape profile offers superior stability and unique tonal characteristics, while the wenge fingerboard provides the smooth playing surface and clear tonal properties essential for professional performance. The 20" fingerboard radius ensures comfortable playability for both intricate fingering work and aggressive playing styles.
The standout feature of this bass is its innovative pickup switching system, featuring two 3-way mini-switches that allow separate configuration of each MEC passive humbucker for series, parallel, or single-coil operation. This provides an unprecedented range of tonal possibilities, from thick, powerful humbucker tones to bright, articulate single-coil sounds and everything in between. The active 2-band EQ with Volume (push/pull preamp), Balance, and stacked tone controls provide precise tonal shaping capabilities.
Professional appointments include 24 jumbo brass frets for exceptional durability and smooth playability, Tedur Just-A-Nut III for optimal tone transfer, and Warwick 3D 2-piece bridge system for superior string stability.
