I'm looking to sell my Warwick Streamer LX V. I don't want to get rid, but I hardly play it, and have never really 'clicked' with the 5 string. She needs someone to run their fingers all over her a little more than I do. I love her, so I'm letting her go.
Candy red gloss, standard so far as I know apart from the addition of Warwick locking strap locks.
Plays absolutely lovely, great tone, active or passive. As I said I don't want to get rid.

I would rate the condition as very good for its age. I have had her over 5 years, and I bought her pre-loved, from another person who didn't click so well with the five string.
The Head and the front of the body are in great condition. The back (and a bit on the sides) shows a little more of her age. There are a numnber of superficial scratches in the gloss (I'm sure they'll T-cut out ), but almost all of them are superficial only. There is a small thumbnail sized dent on the top by the front stratchlock, and the usual 'whoops, I missed' marks by the jack socket. There is one place by the back strap lock where the gloss has worn through - I guess from a strap rubbing.
The previous owner said that there was a bit of an issue with the jack connector not always having the best connection, but I have NEVER experienced it - I use a Neutrik right angled jack and thread the lead through the strap - I double back the tail of the strap to avoid any rubbing resulting from this.
I think she's worth £600 of anyone's money, and that's genuine, not 'I love her, I don't want to let her go, so I'm going to over-price her'. I also don't think that £600 is that much for a Streamer LX anyway. She is in MUCH better nick than the Jazzman up for sale here previously [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/171220-warwick-streamer-lx-jazzman-l575/page__p__1590891__hl__warwick__fromsearch__1#entry1590891"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1590891[/url] and she's the five string.
I have attached pics of her trying to show her as honestly as I can. Yes, I have photoshopped them, but to try and bring out the marks as clearly as I can. I am based in Alton, Hampshire, but am prepared to travel. I take the train to London (Waterloo, then London Bridge) every day, and am prepared to bring her in if I know I'm not going to have to take her home again - the ride home can be very busy indeed.
I have a hard case which I would be willing to give with it if I get the £600. If not, I may be amenable to selling it along with. I am a little reticent to courier it, as there are horror stories out there of things breaking in transit, and insurance claims being long and totuous. Much as I don't want to part with her, I really don't want to give her away to someon who then breaks her neck!! If I can get decent recommendations of a decent courier company with a good insurance policy, I would consider it. I would be very very reluctant to courier it without the hard case. If its going mail order, I would prefer a bank transfer or postal order (but must be quite large fees on £600 worth) to PayPal. No rubber cheques please.
Thanks for reading.
