£675 Collected £800 trade value. Can't see one for sale new for less than £1150 and that wouldn't come with the quality fitted cover so really cannot justify reducing the price. Will deliver within a ~100 mile radius for petrol.

Really good buy, this. Can't see what the likes of a Wren &Cuff TFR would have over this, the tonal options are great and it's a really nice build.

Is it this one? http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_alien.htm Lovely looking bass! Certainly would be the acoustic I would choose!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1378794093' post='2204646'] I'm going to go 89-90. Purely cos if you were taking something to NAMM you would be showing off your latest basses... which wouldn't have dots on the finger board.... that's my logic anyway. [/quote] I would be really surprised if it was an eighties bass with the clip on control plate [i]and[/i] MEC pickups rather than EMG, i havn't seen a pre-1991 thumb without screws as i recall. My 1990 thumb definitely did, and i believe your 1992 Streamer definitely doesn't. With regards to the fretboard dots, i think that is a red herring, what with the block inlay at the bottom and all.

Great muff bump

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1378762571' post='2204517'] moved factory mid 1992 init, lots of changes... You going to go early or late 1992 ? . ....Roon don't mind us, it s all bumps! [/quote] Haha, okay, i would say this would be a NAMM piece that followed the move, so winter Namm 1992

[quote name='roonjuice' timestamp='1378675379' post='2203208'] A quick hunt on Wikipedia (the well known fountain of all knowledge) states that phONE day where we got the 1 in the area code was 1995, so i'm would guess it is defo pre 95 at least!!! [/quote] I love trying to date basses I'm going to plump for the earlier date of my estimation, 1992.

Sadly Warwick are hopeless in dating their own older basses, as there reply would indicate The compartments mean it is a nineties or later bass, is the preamp 9v or 18v? I suspect 9v, and looking at the neck, i would say it was made sometime between 1992 and 1997.

Pics? Use photo bucket.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1378543918' post='2201568'] I would happily walk to Dusseldorf in flippers and carry that thing back the same way if I had £2200 [/quote] If i gave you the £2200, would you make a video diary? Beast of a setup and i certainly did not want to suggest otherwise! Out of interest, what kind of total weight are we talking?

The MEC pickups would almost certainly make it a 1990 or newer... Is the control plate on the back clipped on or screwed on? Screwed on would indicate it being pre 1991 or so I believe. Battery compartment?

Good luck with the sale, but you know this is a UK forum, right? Collection only may be a problem!!

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1378408642' post='2199953'] That looks very familiar to me...I've seen it advertised before but before 2007. [/quote] I think the strap button position would put it a fair bit earlier (is it a just a nut I as well?), but it's always difficult with painted Warwicks! Anyway, lovely bass, good luck with the sale

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1378407716' post='2199937'] If the electronics are standard (not saying that all early 90's would be especially on a NAMM/custom model), it should be 2 band EQ with a vol and pan pot. I've never encountered a Jazz style 2 pup system on a Warwick that would have TWO push pulls (the Dolphin among others has two but one is active/passive and the other is for a coil tap on the rear double/triple coil pup). Do both pots do something or is it a case of someone fitting a push/pull pot because they had nothing else available or they had taken the preamp/pots from another bass? [/quote] That's a better way of putting it
