    Hey Guys, Just posted a thread about my new 1984 Streamer Bass in the Porn Section [url="http://&quot;%20<a%20href="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=77706&quot;"%20target="_blank">http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=77706&quot;</a>"]HERE[/url] A rare old beauty indeed!

    Hey guys, Just thought i'd let you all see *an excuse to show off* my new *very old* Warwick Streamer Bass from 1984 stamped Number 196. Of interest for all you Warwick geeks out there, it features the Spector Style headstock without the Stuart Spector Licensing as it came before Warwick had to state Spector Licensing agreements. I found this bass for sale over on the Warwick Forum and couldn't resist investing in it *don't worry it gets played every day this is certainly not going to become a museum piece!* The seller provided me with the original fitted case from an even older Streamer dating back to god knows when, stamped with number 22. Like my other 1988' Stage II this bass is just incredible in feel, sound, and look. The body comprises of Cherry Wings, and a multi laminate Wenge and Cherry/Maple neck and Ebony Fingerboard, original bridge, schaller tuners and brass nut, the Mwah on this bass is just fantastic and the bite and drive has to be heard to be believed. I'm Very happy with with it as you can tell and thought i would pop some images of the bass along with my other old Streamer on here as i'm sure some of you guys will appreciate it. Enjoy! Cheers Ben.

    Man, its such a shame people like "Trevthebass" have to do things like this, it does show the strength of this community though.

    It's completely a tale of two basses. Alot of people may recommend the Stingray based on their experience, others will recommend the Warwick's, having owned both a 5 String Double Buck and a 5 String Stingray i can promote and demote them both from different perspectives, i will ask you though have you been able to sit down with both basses and have you road tested them accordingly? if so which one worked out best for you? Both basses have strong individual merits, but i will say that i no longer own either bass as neither really worked for me in the long run, in truth no Warwick or Musicman has stayed with me long except my two vintage Wicks which are a whole different story altogether, however if this is all about opinion and constructive recommendations then i can only suggest you play them both at any given opportunity even if you have to get on a train or travel to try them *the train fare or petrol will no doubt be less than the money you'll lose on a sale if you don't like it* and compare them against one another on a like for like basis.

    That Bass looks seriously fantastic, i love that colour/guard combo and the neck is amazing, congrats mate!
  8. spacecowboy
    Yeah mate the Warwicks are and always will be awesome, just bought Streamer number 196 from 1984 from Germany last week! I'm over the moon with it!
  9. spacecowboy
    Haha Marcus i have never known any one chop and change as much as you dude , hope you get what you actually want eventually!
  10. spacecowboy
    Wow thats seriously hot! You definitely not posting it?

    What i don't understand is the whole Fender Vintage thing, its almost expected that if you buy a Fender Bass say from the 70's its perfectly acceptable for the bass to be beaten to hell, scratched, paintless, dinged, dented and call it Mojo'd *lame*, yet i have a 24 and 26 Year old set of Warwick Streamers in pretty much perfect condition and i am absolutely certain that i will maintain their appearance and overall quality for at least the next 10 years keeping them almost mint for my own collection or potential re sale value. I can't understand it when someone spends alot of money on a bass just to mistreat it, a cheap Japanese £60er sure, but anything over a couple of hundred quid? surely its in your interest to look after it?
  12. spacecowboy
    They are quite expensive, even my second hand one was about £45, I use a Ritter Double Gig bag which is fantastic and i thoroughly recommend them, but be prepared to pay for one.
  13. spacecowboy
    Alreet Spuggy! I'm a massive massive Oceansize fan! loved them since hearing Catalyst ageeees ago! Did you buy Feed to Feed? if any of the 5000 are still available you have to grab one the set is incredible!
  14. spacecowboy

    [quote name='gregsguitars' post='731245' date='Feb 1 2010, 12:25 AM']Why the bad response ? isn't what this room is for? to post links to your ebay items?[/quote] That was a Jokey Boo to Wayne for his Jokey Post, not a boo to you! I wholly support independent instrument dealers! If you get any Vintage Streamers in you have to let me know!
  17. spacecowboy
    Unique! First time i have seen one of those!
  18. spacecowboy
    Booo!
  19. spacecowboy
    That looks genuinely fantastic for that kind of money! Good luck with the sale!

  23. spacecowboy
    Going to cut my losses and take £150 + £15 Postage as i'm going to hopefully jump on a new *old* bass soon.
  24. spacecowboy
    All PM's replied to. Really not looking for trades but thanks for the offers. If someone is interested but doesn't want to pay £195 throw me an offer. Wayne i'll let you know about the chrome knobs mate if a buyer turns up! Cheers.

    Now Sold - Thanks for all the interest from all. I hope the buyer enjoys this bass as much as i have. Hey All, After much thought i'm going to let go of this fantastic bass, it's been my "at home" bass since i bought it, but i just don't see myself ever using it live or in the studio anytime soon and as i'm spending less and less time at home to sit and relax with it i'm going to let it go to someone else to save it from a life of collecting dust in my rack, Its a fantastically playable bass as all the online reviews and owners of them will tell you, the pickups are surprisingly fantastic sounding and the neck is a dream. I have a quick recording with me playing the bass on the only song on my myspace - www.myspace.com/callandbenedict Only very very slight markings on the back of the bass, nothing that wouldn't buff out certainly no chips or dings. I have put fender black knobs on the bass for that more vintage look and i will include the chrome originals. I'm wanting what i paid for it which was [s]£195[/s] [color="#FF0000"]£150[/color] + £15 postage including Warwick Nylon Bag and Fender strap, or you can collect from the Portsmouth area, i will get the boys in the export and despatch department at work to ensure its well wrapped up and road ready. Thanks!
