REDLAWMAN Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) This is my Warwick Streamer LX 4, bought new from Reidy's in Blackburn in Summer this year (2010). Proper German-made Warwick (2009 build date). *** ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION / AS NEW *** In fact, better than new condition, as I have meticulously waxed it in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. I'm an absolute beginner and have only played it very gently and occasionally since I bought it: really just scales and arpeggios. Never gigged nor taken outside and kept in 'Rockbag' in dedicated music room. As you would expect of an instrument of this quality, it holds tune and intonates perfectly. Brand new Elixir Nano strings on (and original Warwick Black label in case and also immaculate). I genuinely love this guitar, but I ADORE my Fender 'P' bass and this suits my dubious musical tastes for 'Old-School' Country music and other 'Grandad-type' stuff a little better....!! I really don't need 2 basses and it's a real shame to see an instrument as beautiful as this going unused. Also included is an equally pristine deluxe DSL matching cream and brown strap which cost £40 and a 'Guitar Tech' clip-on tuner. [u]*** [b][/b]£950 *** [/u] (I live near Hereford and purchasers are welcome to collect. I'm prepared to travel a reasonable distance to assist). Edited March 2, 2011 by REDLAWMAN
warwickhunt Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Is that a 'normal' LX as it appears to have a splated top? I'm not that up on the latest LX models but I thought that they were generally flame maple bodies... saying that if you paid £1800 then it may be the SE version.
Chris2112 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Very nice, although like all basses with chrome hardware I can't help but think it would look better with black hardware. This thought always crosses my mind when I see the original bolt on Thumbs with their walnut bodies.
REDLAWMAN Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 Hi guys, Sorry, I hadn't seen your posts and for some reason I seem to have posted this ad twice!! Yes, German LX. AAA Flamed Maple, but this one is spalted AND quilted! Black hardware- yes, I agree. I almost did (and still might). You can do the lot for under £100, direct from Warwick.
machinehead Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Absolutely the nicest Streamer LX I've seen. A few months ago I would have jumped on that but sadly, now is not the time. Best of luck selling and have a free bump. Frank
REDLAWMAN Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks very much Frank. Incidentally, what does all this 'bump' stuff mean..??

REDLAWMAN Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 I'm still no wiser................

REDLAWMAN Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 Run that by me one more time WH.....
REDLAWMAN Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 I'm still looking to sell this if anyone is interested. £950 or trade plus cash for a Custom Shop 'P' or a working and reliable 1970's SVT.
nicbutton Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Ah man i was wanting a streamer lx for ages before i bought my most recent bass Dont suppose you want to trade for a marleaux consat straight 4?
drewm Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 That's a great price. I have the same year LX5, and they're lovely instruments. Slim neck profile, too. Not a baseball bat in sight. Bump.
REDLAWMAN Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 No...!! I've no idea what it is, but I'm sure no one wants one of them..... You should have searched: it's been listed on here for ages.
nicbutton Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 [url="http://marleaux.co.uk/eng/baesse/straight.asp"]http://marleaux.co.uk/eng/baesse/straight.asp[/url] Haha i never heard of it before i got it, but its a lovely bass! Unless your fluent in german its hard to find much info on it :\ Good luck with the sale anyhow!

On a pedantic note, there's a difference between [url="http://olivercustomfurniture.com/photos/wood10.jpg"]quilted[/url] and [url="http://www.jordanmusic.com/mapfid1.jpg"]flamed[/url] Unusual to have spalted too - it's subtle and beautiful. Good luck with the sale Edited February 16, 2011 by Roland Rock
andykelly Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 i REALLY want this... Don't suppose you play guitar too, as i have some gear i could trade towards it? Andy
REDLAWMAN Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Everyone loves a pedant....... Andy, I can't even play bass, mate, let alone geeetar..! Joking apart, I'm going to trade this on Friday at a music shop if it doesn't sell.
plankspanker Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Trade at a music shop? Don't do it mate - you'll be swayed into walking away with something you don't really want and pay their margin too. If I had twice the budget that I've actually got I'd be up the A465 and knocking on your door in thirty minutes. It must be the financial climate - a lovely instrument like that should have flown by now. Good luck whatever you decide.
REDLAWMAN Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 I hear what you're saying, Plankspanker and thanks. Bad timing, I guess.
