    Yeah man, Thumbed up for over a year again now, many a gig and now an album to show for it

    Id suggest you try cleaning it before doing that, as all youll be doing is locking the grime in. Very fine grade wire wool works a treat.

    Yup, standard MEC gold pickups and preamps, but doubt you'll get a 3 band on a GPS, likely just 2

    It gets messy. GPS are the budget german built basses, previously built in Korea. No brass, cheaper woods etc. Build quality will still be excellent, but the 2006 model was top of the range at the time. Id go for the GPS, but only if its priced well.

    I'd actually expand on a direct answer to the OP and say they really upped their game with the 2013 instruments. They brought back wenge alongside the IFT and luminescent dots, thinner neck, state of the art machinery and a real reduction in number of top end basses due really made a difference, the new instruments are as high quality as anything available. The vintage have their handmade charm and I love them, but the standards of the new basses are very, very high.

    Anything early 00s and I'll easily believe it, but the removable truss rod instruments, I could always easily get back bow so relief would never have been an issue, possibly fret issue or some qc with bridge depth?

    Interesting. My thumb can get ridiculously low, far lower than I could be comfortable playing! They are a bit different to set up right, particularly the older ones.

    Id change the range 1997 - 2009 There were some gems made during that time, but all the stereotype negatives come from basses built during this time, especially early 00s. Baseball bats, bendy necks, ridiculous nut designs, neck dive etc . All things the vintage golden era models and new models do not suffer from!

      GAS is indeed annoying - but it keeps my salivary glands in good working order :)

    One direction we have taken so far is to post images of basses in the classifieds we find are particularly attractive or interesting, so you may even get a little cheeky free promotion!

    Really love to try a team built model, look like a nice upgrade from the Korean. Is that a Cherry body as well? 😁 GLWTS
  19. Kev
    Ahh, thank you my friend. Straight from the horses mouth 😁 1988 or 1989 would be a good approximation, based on hardware, pickups and other such nuances. 1988 is my birth year so iv tended to want to believe that instead anyway 😂
  20. Kev
    Thanks 😁 I should add, I wouldn't rule out trades, but cash is what I'm trying to raise here. Any more specific pics please ask 🙂.

    Now £950! 1988 vintage Warwick Streamer bass in a stunning gloss white finish. Overall in really good condition, bit of finish wear on fret edges but only minor cosmetic stuff. Full disclosure, the bass at some point in its life suffered the somewhat legendary neck crack at the truss rod anchor point. This one was minor, fully glued and repaired and stronger than ever, mostly hidden by refinish but can still be seen. Neck straight as an arrow and truss is sound and adjustable, entirely cosmetic now. Bass is a beaut, fine example of a vintage Streamer, huge sound, lightweight and perfect balance. Year is approx based on spec, like many gloss finished Wicks from the era, this had no serial number originally. It could be a late 87 or early 89, so in the middle 88 is a good shout. This has all the desirable features, with the original EMG pickups, wenge/maple neck and flamed maple body (not that the flame is visible!). Frets have plenty of life, MEC 2 band replaced with another at some point by previous owner, who also shot - blasted the originall tarnished gold hardware to give it a really cool satin chrome with a hint of gold look. May benefit a little from a setup but that's being picky! Weight approx 8 1/2 LB. Recorded with the bass earlier this year, can be heard on the track Secrets: https://cenfora.bandcamp.com/track/secrets Comes with Warwick gig bag. Exceptional bass, priced accordingly to its condition, in reality worth a helluva lot more 😁
