zZounds Gear Experts Say...
2 passive MEC humbuckers. Coil tapping. MEC 2-band preamp.
Overview
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 $$ gets its outrageous attitude and powerful identity from its unique pickup and electronics package. There are 2 passive MEC humbuckers nestled closely in the center of the body, completely covering the legendary sweet-spot that so many basses miss completely. But this beast has a sensitive side too, which can be accessed via the 2 mini 3-way switches that allow you to coil tap each humbucker in a variety if ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). To give the Double $$ 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 $$ features some of Warwick's most valued components. A select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, an ovangkol neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity - all these elements blend beautifully to create the perfect performance palate for you and your passion.
Available in either 4 or 5-string models, the Double… read more $$ 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 $$... read less

"Double Buck, the Ferrari of Bass"
no way im going to replace my baby!!
Sound
the character of $$ tend to be tight creamy fat bass tones even on the low B string, my style is funk but i played lotsa church songs that more into rock,alternatives,slow rock, jazz and much others and this bass is so versatile and delivers almost any songs i played. however, the crispiness for plucking may not be as crisp as fender or musicman but im telling you i have tried both and the distinct growl of $$ is so amazing it surpassed fender and musicman
Features
the $$ offers 3 different tones for each pick ups, including humbucking and gives you the privillege to switch to active/passive as you wish which is great!!
Ease of Use
the playability is unbelievable and plays like magic, no buzz problems at all. the fingerboard is so slid that it gives playability even easier and because i was using crap bass and tried so hard to avoid buzz noise, now because i dont have to worry about that anymore, i played twice faster and obviously clear as crystal clear. I cant stressed enough the extraordinary playabilty it delivers.
Quality
it is made outta highest quality wood from Africa, gives that deep sound but maintainance is harder than normal bass.
Value
GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR!!!
The Wow Factor
it is the Bentley or Ferrari of bass, Rolex of bass,… read more looks reallll sexxy, and petite yet delivers mean growls. unlike fender or musicman that has rough and much bigger body. if this bass can cook and clean house i wouldnt need my girlfriend anymore
