Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman German 4 String Bass Guitar
Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman 4-string: German Made in ~2002
This is an original German made Warwick Corvette shape FNA Jazzman 4 string bass. It is totally original and I would say about 8 out of 10 cosmetically. The fingerboard is Wenge on an Ovangkol neck, and the body is made from US Swamp Ash with an AA Flamed-Maple top. The finish is coloured oil, which was an extra-cost option.
The bass has light play wear, there is some buckle rash on the back, but the top and neck are very clean. It plays beautifully and sounds amazing – a lovely crisp growl that is almost infinitely adjustable. This fabulous bass comes with the original Warwick gigbag.
This is a brilliant classic 4-string bass that oozes quality and the most amazing sounds you can imagine.
Search on the Internet for reviews and they are always brilliant – see these, for example:

This is what is says on the Warwick website:
FNA Jazzman
Someone once said that you can´t improve on perfection. Fortunately, Warwick never met that person! The FNA Jazzman is our update on the classic FNA. We added an MEC Jazz pickup in the neck position. Now you can have a superior bass that is capable of an infinite variety of textures and tones.
Four separate controls give you quick access to make any changes in the sound you desire using the MEC 3 way circuitry.
This model is based on other models still available through the Custom Shop.
