[quote name='robocorpse' post='689356' date='Dec 19 2009, 07:58 PM']No need for sarcasm. I had it at 1150, I dropped it to 1099 ono, but when I edited the original post, I put it at 1100. Same price innit, who cares about the quid.[/quote] I don't think that Stevie D was being sarcastic, he was referring to the fact that in first post you've got it advertised for £1100 (you can't tell that it has been edited/revised from £1150) and then in post #3 you've got price drop to £1099... looks like you've price dropped it a quid!

[quote name='Peaty' post='692876' date='Dec 24 2009, 12:04 PM']Mr Warwickhunt, That has got to be the deal of the decade. I have been thinking of getting my steamer fretless fretted as most of my fretless playing is on 5 strings these days. Even then I would still be a bit squeamish about taking it out to gigs. Anyway good luck with the sale and have a good festive season. Pete[/quote] Many thanks for the endorsement Pete. I believe it's a bit special, it must be considering I sold the rest of these... ... and I only kept this and my old red Streamer! When you consider the price of a new Streamer (even a BO neck bass) or what used late 80's, early 90's basses go for, then this IMHO has to be a reasonable price!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='691767' date='Dec 22 2009, 07:59 PM']The bass is now only available with the Gator hard-case (the JT gigbag went with the Zon) and @ £1115 delivered in the UK[/quote] Having further cleared out some stuff I've now found a decent quality padded Warwick gigbag that I forgot that I had, so £1050 collected (with the gigbag) or £1085 UK delivered (in the gigbag and double boxed).

[quote name='Chris2112' post='691798' date='Dec 22 2009, 08:28 PM']Hmm, must just be a standard bridge. Looks like a nice bass though, just not sure if I should pull the trigger or not since I need a fretless![/quote] I know someone looking to sell a BO Streamer Pro M fretless (mid 90's bass I think). I'm not sure of your budget but he's unlikely to give it away knowing him!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='691786' date='Dec 22 2009, 08:17 PM']Well, its a two piece bridge as you'd see on most Warwicks, if that is the 2-Tek! I think it's a 1990 model.[/quote] No the 2-Tek was a bit of kit that was non-Warwick. Weighed about 2lb on it's own and had individual 'tone-fingers' rather than one bridge; Michael Anthony had them fitted to his Sterling basses for a while.

[quote name='Chris2112' post='691770' date='Dec 22 2009, 08:01 PM']How much for it in a binbag taken home in the back of my car? Glad the Zon has sold, that was a beautiful bass too! As it happens, I'm currently trying to decide whether or not I should buy a fretless Warwick Fortress bass that I have my eye on![/quote] Even my binbags are 'special'! However mates rates if you collect. Unusual to see a fretless Fortress; is it the one with the 2-Tek bridge or the later version.

The bass is now only available with the Gator hard-case (the JT gigbag went with the Zon) and @ £1115 delivered in the UK

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='691029' date='Dec 21 2009, 09:31 PM']Oooh! Ooh! This is very lovely! It feels a heck of a lot lighter than 9lb![/quote] I know it impressed you when you gave it a quick blast t'uther day and I agree that it feels even lighter than 9lb but you know me MB... I'm a stickler for accurate weight and this clocks in bang on 9lb.

[quote name='martthebass' post='690983' date='Dec 21 2009, 08:48 PM']So need something light, balances well and can out Ray a Ray? Sounds like a Status Streamline to me WH, love mine so much [u][b]I'm going to be cremated with it (hopefully in the distant future)[/b][/u]......[/quote] Anthems for the over 30's... "I'd rather fade away than burn out" "I hope I get old before I die"

[quote name='martthebass' post='690761' date='Dec 21 2009, 04:22 PM']Think you're right WH, strangely tho, I didn't find any difference (by that I mean the size didn't seem to register when playing) when I moved from a 90's Ray4 to a 2004 Sterling and then back to a 2005 Ray4. The Sterling was about 1/2 pound heavier than my 2005 Ray4 as well - go figure.[/quote] I only identified the size difference when someone local brought their Ray to see that it would fit in the MM/EB Sterling case that I had for sale... Ray was quite a bit larger but you'd not think it to look at it. Odd that the Sterling was so heavy as the couple that I've either owned or tried have been pretty light but there are bound to be vagaries in weight, hence my constant requests for people to weigh their bass accurately rather than manufacturers claims or bathroom scale guesstimates.

[quote name='martthebass' post='690592' date='Dec 21 2009, 01:04 PM']Damn, my Stingray would have gone for this..............unfortunately it's 5oz too heavy[/quote] Nice thought, though I think the Ray is significantly larger than the Sterling as well.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='690228' date='Dec 20 2009, 10:30 PM']I don't like figured wood so it's not for me, but I love Warwicks and I bet that is about as good a bass as any. Surprised it hasn't gone yet.[/quote] I've had a bit of interest but as with past enquirers, when it comes down to committing and actually parting with readies, things go a bit cool!
