"A fantastic buy - everything you need in a bass"

I'll be using this for a long while. If I ever replaced it, it would probably be with one of the German-made Warwicks, or with a really high end custom bass. If it were stolen I'd find the thief and take him out ninja style.
Sound
Fantastic bass sound, responds well to any style. I know bassists who play Corvettes in everything from metal bands to jazz groups, the sound is great for everything.
Features
Just a basic active bass. The active electronics are great, and the nut is adjustable which is pretty neat. It also came with Warwick straplocks which work great.
Ease of Use
It's easy to play, mostly because it sounds so good that you want to play it more.
Quality
Seems really solid. I was in a band with a bassist who used a Corvette, half the time we had gigs he didn't even have a gig bag and he'd just throw it in the van with all the amps and guitars (not how I'd treat an instrument, but the point is it's durable).
Value
For the price this is an amazing bass. It's already a good value at list price, and the deal you get on Zzounds is crazy.
The Wow Factor
What can I say, basses are sexy.

"Just an incredible bass!"

This bass just rocks! I put it through the paces for the past couple of days, and in sounds incredible playing blues, jazz, rock and all points between. It is no wonder that these basses received top marks from Bass Player magazine a few years back.
Sound
Wow, this bass sounds incredible; this is literally one of those basses that makes you want to play.
Features
Basically all the same hardware that you get on the German models, at a fraction of the cost; you just can't go wrong.
Ease of Use
This is a really playable bass. It needed minor adjustment to the bridge out of the box, but other than that it is an easy playing bass.
Quality
Really well built, the finish is a bit on the spartan side, but hey, if you are that worried about it, you can go to the local hardware store; wood stain is not that expensive.
Value
For pure bang for the buck, this bass is really hard to beat.
Manufacturer Support
I have not needed too.
The Wow Factor
I will have to save the money to get the German model now!!!
