【What is warwick corvette standard?】
At first, warwick corvette standard was released as "corvette proline" in 1992, and it was composed of 2-piece flame maple body, maple (or wenge?) neck and wenge fingerboard and had MEC dynamic correction pickups (passive). It had 2-band MEC (BEC, it seemed to be called at that time) preamp. I see Prolines that has Active-MEC Pickups as often as Passive MEC Pickups.
Later in 1995, corvette standard was released as successor model of Proline, and maybe at this time Bubinga and Ash body ones was released. (corvette Proline seemed to be manufactured nearly till the end of 1990s)
At the end of 1990s, the war in congo where warwick got the source of wenge, broke out.
By the influence of this incident, warwick changed their regular neck material wenge to ovangkol, and the neck of warwick basses were reshaped thicker at this time. The hardness of ovangol was milder than wenge, so they reshaped it not to be bowed easily, I guess.
Corvette standard model was also influenced by this. Wenge-Neck corvette was manufactured around 2000. Almost all 2000's corvette standards has ovangkol neck, and the neck is thicker than 1990's.
From 2010 to 2014, warwick started to manufacture pro series model in Korea, and corvette was made in Korea at this time. The specifications are not changed, just the place to manufacture was changed. From 2015, warwick restarted to manufacture warwick pro series in Germany, markneukirchen.
