Description

If the entire line of Warwick basses is like a family at a party, then the Corvette $$ is the newest in-law who ate all the food, drank all the booze and is now in the coat closet with not 1, but 2 of the wait staff! You know the type -- a complete and utter beast who only listens to the one person in the family who can control it. Yeah... the Double $$ is that wild.

Even though it cosmetically resembles other Corvette models, the Double $$ gets its outrageous attitude and powerful identity from its unique pickup and electronics package. There are 2 passive MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center of the body, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. But this beast has a sensitive side too, which can be accessed via the two mini 3-way switches that allow you to coil tap each humbucker in a variety if ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). To give the Double $$ more flexibility, the passive pickups are matched to a MEC 2-band preamp, making this behemoth a true passive/active hybrid bass -- the best of both worlds.

If you look beyond the wild electronics you will see that the Double $$ features some of Warwick's most valued components. A select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, an ovangkol neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity - all these elements blend beautifully to create the perfect performance palate for you and your passion.

Available in either 4 or 5-string models, the Double $$ comes with a Natural finish or with one of Warwick's transparent colored oil stains. If you think you have the right stuff to party with a pro, venture down to your local Warwick dealer and take the Double $$ for a test drive. Just remember -- what happens with the Double $$ stays between you and the Double $$...
