ravingdavies Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Can someone out there help me with a valuation on this bass please ? I think it's quite an early model. Can't find anything similar on the Warwick website. It has the W decal on the head and a single soapbar MEC pick-up. It doesn't see a lot of gig action these days & I'm looking to trade it but have no idea what it's worth. Any advice would be greatly appreciated (or any offers on a trade). Based 12 miles from Cardiff. Quote
Doctor J Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Go to the Warwick website and enter the serial number, it'll tell you exactly what it is, then search for it on ebay and the FS forums here and you'll get an idea of the current selling price. Quote
dwh87 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I have a five string two pickup model of the Warwick std. PM if you want to know how much i paid a few years ago. Mansons have a one pickup version for sale right now [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/second-hand-bass-guitars/warwick/pre-owned-streamer-std/"]Warwick[/url] Are direct links ok?

mart Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The Streamer Standards were the predecessors of the Rockbasses. Same woods, same fittings, but made in Germany instead of China. That inflates the prices slightly, but generally they go for fairly similar prices to Rockbasses. I expect it'll be quite a while before Mansons manage to sell that Std at £400. Quote
dwh87 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The rockbasses have maple and rosewood compared to wenge and ovangkol on the std models Quote
