Not the best photo but here is a quick family snap: [url="https://postimages.org/"][/url]

I recently finished restoring this beauty, a 90s Warwick Streamer with a broadneck, Barts and the sold brass hardware. I really need to take some better photos that better show the flaming in the maple, but for now these will have to suffice: [url="https://postimg.org/image/5nj23sklz/"][/url] [url="https://postimg.org/image/fwbj9m8nr/"][/url] Mine has a 2 band EQ and is active/passive. Because I want it to be as versatlie as possible I have installed 2 x 3-way switches to select between coils on each of the barts(switches arent shown in the above photos obviously). It is the best bass I have ever owned or played in terms of versatility, tone and playability. It snarls like a rabid dog if needed but can also be tamed and shaped to whatever else you need it to be. I also have an 08 Thumb 5 string NT which is fab and sounds like nothing else but the neck dive and weight is a bit of an issue for me and I find myself picking up the Streamer more often than not. Will have to post some photos of the Warwick family as I seem to have collected a few more recently Not the best photo but here is a quick family snap: [url=https://postimages.org/][/url]

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1508521308' post='3392779'] If you think Status and Steinberger basses have a woody, organic tone then one of us needs our ears testing. [/quote] Status make lots of different models, some are 95% wood construction so chances are...

Im currently waiting for DPD to deliver my Warwick Infinity SN TCS, I think this just qualifies to be in this thread?

are you able to take a photo of the screw and measure it with a digital caliper please? If so then we will be better able to advise you on where you can get a replacement. or chances are I have one in my spares drawer and can send it to you FOC.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1508331915' post='3391416'] For me, these Warwicks in white are arguably one of the best looking basses you can get! [/quote] thank you very much, I was very happy with my colour choice - this was originally a black poly finish. I had a local luthier strip the old finish and then refinish it as you see it for the grand total of £170! Money well spent IMO! In case anyone is wondering about the colour of the hardware, it was originally gold plated (all solid brass) but had oxidised heavily so I shot blasted it and it now looks like nickel(I guess that is part of the plating process?). I think it looks pretty sexy but I am rather biased lol.

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1508318815' post='3391271'] TWO HUNDRED AND WHAT??!! [/quote] I would agree with the what but nothing else

my turn! [url=https://postimg.org/image/3o23peee7f/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/4uley06ijf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/1w94uhxlwr/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/2s5m9y7psb/][/url]

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1508326903' post='3391360'] Double P is very aggressive and mid forward and a good deal louder than most other Warwick's I've had. Perhaps lacking a touch in the bass department when the bridge is solo'd, not surprising given the position of the pup. Preamp a little limited, tempted to install a Darkglass Pre to have more control of the mids. Preamp doesn't seem to be the usual MEC 2 band, voiced differently to my ears. Thumb neck is bubinga stringers [/quote] thanks for the info Kev. Never understood the desire to install a 2band pre in a bass that controls only treb and bass. Surely treb and mids is much more useful for a bassist as there are plenty of options on your amp to increase bass if you ever need to. btw, speaking of Streamers with 2 band pres... here is my late 80's Streamer with EMGs refinished from a black poly: [url=https://postimg.org/image/3o23peee7f/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/4uley06ijf/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/1w94uhxlwr/][/url] [url=https://postimg.org/image/2s5m9y7psb/][/url]

[quote name='funkyjimbob' timestamp='1502369341' post='3350988'] Here's a pic of my Buckeye Burl Custom Shop Streamer Stage 1 from a gig a few days ago [/quote] thats a stunner mate! Is that a ramp between the neck pup and fretboard? hard to tell from the angle...

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1507766492' post='3387886'] Two of my current trio [/quote] what a pair of beauts! how does that double p config sound? especially with the mirrored arrangement... the back of that Thumb is very tasty. I take it the neck is Wenge with cherrywood streamers(forgive me if that isnt the correct term)?

They are now £150 or best offer: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stagg-Electric-Stick-Bass-/332415784359?hash=item4d658655a7:g:cp8AAOSwe7lZ5Pcv

Does it even have a truss rod? Or do you have to remove the neck pup to access it???

I think it looks great. Much better than just another boring black box!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263254023360 Seems like a bargain?

[quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1507476975' post='3385722'] Beautifully made and very versatile, but dear god, that huge pickup is fugly... [/quote] As is the cover for the electronics on the back!

[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1507193053' post='3383774'] I'm not sure why a brass nut would need replacing any less frequently than an alternative - not that nuts need replacing very often. Brass is quite a soft metal. [/quote] I've never heard of a brass nut needing replacing. All the vintage basses with stock brass nuts I've seen still have the original nut on. Brass may be a relatively soft metal but it's still pretty bloody durable. I should know as I've crafted nuts out of solid brass myself.
