bout wrong with neck through, there must be differences but I struggle to work them out.
sustain is no different to my JV p bass,
supposedly NT has slower attack... offset by a maple body!
and maybe some of the mids are compressed differently.... but no different in terms of difference to having ash vs alder body....

Well collected my new Streamer LX4 on friday and got to use it through my tubepath rig the same night. all i can say is "Good Grief!!" It sounds awesome!! I always loved my Spector (even though its a cheaper NS2000 model) but the clarity and tone from the warwick blew me away! This could be the start of a very long relationship! Linus, i'm still trying to upload the pics, but it's not having it!

The one of the bass on it's own is a bit fuzzy but i'll try again later to get some decent ones on here.

Damn, that looks sweet. Natural is my favourite followed by Burgundy. More jealous now :) Good job and thanks for sharing.

My pleasure! I'll try and get some video or soundclips of it through the tubepath rig in the pic and post them up!

Wow deary me that figuring is beautiful. A nice Warwick always reminds me of Scarlett Johannson, in that I probably shouldn't stare at it for quite so long, especially when my girlfriend's next to me!

I do love my LX5. It's a magical, magical instrument. Took it into the studio for the first time last week and it just sounded phenomenal. (My playing still sounded crap, but you can't win 'em all!)

Warwicks business practice (if what people on here are saying is correct) is very odd. Thankfully, there seems to be a glut of cheap 2nd hand basses on here. I'm tempted to get a loan and stock up on a few for a few years time when you can't get hold of them and people remember what great basses they are!

I currently play a Streamer Pro-M, paid £400 for it and couldn't be happier. Plays really nice and I've had nothing but complements from recording engineers on the sound.

ok let me chip in here regarding the talk about warwick...................................Warwick basses from 10 or even 20 years ago are significantly different to what you would purchase now.Warwick has 3 ranges Rock bass(china) Pro series(korea) and the Warwick made in germany range. Having owned over 15 warwick over the years it is quite impressive what is being produced in the other countries it allows us as consumers to purchase a Warwick at a fair price The quality on some of the Chinese and Korean stuff is as really good as my original streamer bolt on in cherry wood from 1997 !!! As for the german made stuff well 10 years ago warwick was like a bmw expensive mid end but fantastic,now warwick german basses are Ferraris not everyone can afford one but if you can then you will receive a very special instrument,they are flawless.I recently purchased a custom shop bass 4 string corvette$$ and i even got to see the wood before it was made(not sure if this was a bit of luck:) my point is if you compared my new weapon against my old warwick its like the car comparisson!!! As for the dealer situation i hope they resolve that so you can test the range before parting with any hard owned dosh unless you do know the range! any how im new on here hello......................

Just had a noodle on my Warwick, and I've gotta say, I'm no great shakes as a player, but I was just blown away by the tone I was getting plugging straight into my amp. It was genuinely fantastic.

I love Warwicks, is all.

You do get special treatment if you go for a Custom Shop bass, and yes, getting to see the wood before hand seems to be common for CS customers. Unfortunately it's not an option otherwise. (Not that I've got any complaints about the woods on my Warwicks - they all look pretty good to me).
