2001 Warwick Corvette Electric Bass Guitar
Update: A fellow on Reverb schooled me (thanks!) and noted that this is a 2001 bass (not '90s) per its serial number and that the neck is ovangkol.
Overview: These Warwick basses were (and still are) super desirable in certain rawk and jam band communities. I've also had jazz cats come through who are into them as well. I notice your type when you stop by!
That said, this thing is built tough, built sturdy, and has a punchy, direct, accurate tone. It's got nice-looking wood throughout and all of the hardware is thoughtful and good-quality.
Repairs included: I cleaned it up, fixed a small chip-out near the neck pocket on top, and set it up. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's in very good health. There is a small (non-worrying) hairline crack near the neck pocket (dryness, pictured) and a tiny chipout near the neck pocket on top of the bass which I glued back in and touched-up (also pictured). It appears original throughout. There are light signs of use -- small scratches, etc. -- throughout. The nut rises on two bolt gizmos for height adjustment but the two "tabs" that line the outside edges of the nut have long-since broken-off. The nut stays in position just fine without them. I did not level and dress the frets as they are almost unplayed.
It comes with: It has a good gigbag as I recall.
