markyboy2106 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi there There's a chance of one of these bad boys coming up for sale near me for around £1000ish. I've not played one before and it would my first foray into the world of 5 stringers. Will be keeping my 3-eq EBMM, and have looked also at Lakland, Sandbergs, etc, (all of which has been well documented and commented upon on this forum which is much appreciated). Is it worth a punt for a grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 £1000 is quite a high price in the current climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Played one once, it was absolutely gorgeous. I agree with toasted though seems a little high in relation to current prices for Warwicks. What price the right bass though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy2106 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks for that. I thought it sounded a little pricey, but then I thought they retail at quite a high price. Is it likely they are overpriced in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Great basses in principle but I think you should play it before you buy (never one to shy away from stating the abvious, me). I find Warwick necks to be relatively bulky and don't like them very much but it's a marmite thing and they sound perfectly credible.

warwickhunt Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I've known a couple of Streamer 5's make £1000 lately... anything less than that seems good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjimbob Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi, I'm new here so hello!! I have a Warwick Streamer Stg 1 5 and I love it, but I'm into wide string spacing and not everyone is too keen on it. The neck is very wide and chunky. Love it though.. I presume thats a second hand price? pardon my stupidtiy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
