It hasn't put me off Warwick's, just don't want to have to resurrect one, not for the money I've laid out on it. If neck can;t be restored i've bought a total dud.... no thanks [/quote] I think the lesson here is always view a pre-owned bass before you buy! I know where you bought this from and the owner is certainly not out to 'fleece' anyone, I have an awful lot of respect for him. At the end of the day, it is a 25 year old bass, the neck's condition is fairly 'usual' for a Warwick of that period (I haven't owned one that hasn't had imperfection from the handmade era, and Iv had a dozen or so). I had an SSII where they put the 1st fret inlay in completely the wrong place, so seemed to fill with wenge dust and refit. Not a neat job but i just put it down as a quirk of the instruments. A battery connecter replacement as John said is pennies. But, if you feel you have been misold, then take it back. However, if you have already taken £100 compensation for the neck, it is difficult to go back again now! Buyers remorse is not really something a shop should have to deal with, and you should really thoroughly inspect an instrument on arrival and go back to the shop with the issues all at the same time, and not as you discover them. There has to be a line

They are both wonderful basses to play. Preference compared to a Jazz is totally subjective. For me, the idea of choosing a Jazz Bass over the beautiful carved body of the Streamer is pure madness, but for others the unwieldy offset jazz is the way forward! Never experienced neck dive with a 4 string streamer or corvette, wonderfully balanced instruments. Both have 38mm nuts, so very thin and jazz like, but the neck profile depends on the year. General rule of thumb; eighties and early nineties basses have skinny necks, late nineties up until 2008 have chunkier profiles (in general), 2009 they returned to a slimmer profile. The LTD models tend to have different neck profiles.

[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1438356532' post='2833896'] After several minutes arguing with myself I just ordered one, might have a standard Cali76 going if anyone wants one.... [/quote] Haha, I saw the pre edited earlier post I'm so tempted its painful

Available to order! Do I go for it, or wait to see what Darkglass come up with? Agonising decision!

Expect a market place influx! The size of the cali completely put me off, this is a whole new kettle of fish. I am patiently wating for the Super Symmetry compressor release, however this tempts me greatly!!

Nice catch, didn't think that one would last long with Zender's name on it

I'm sure it can, didn't try it with mine but could be done, neck still wide though Instead, you could just stick with the infinity and let me nab the buckeye Streamer

I'll be ordering one once I sell a couple of pedals.

Fingerboard radiused and fretted, really chuffed with how this has turned out
