Streamer $$ -

[dub_junkie]

came across pictures of an absolute knockout looking Streamer $$

are the blueburst finish and inlays custom order only or was this a limited run bass? I've never seen one like it

Its beautiful :wub:

That looks a bit Custom Shop to me, using the Streamer $$ model as a base.

The body looks like Zebrano under that finish. This has been done for a limited run of 10 before.
These had matched headstocks, though, and were natural with black hardware and no Yin/Yang inlays.


Furthermore, it [i]looks [/i]like three of the pots are stacked, but what for, I couldn't speculate...

The standard set-up is the usual Vol, Pan, Bass, Treble.

Even if you twinned Bass & Treble and threw in a Mid level and[i] f[/i] sweep, that'd only make 2 stacked pots...

Still think it's a custom job!

Edit - Might be heavily grained Ash, actually... In the vein of the Yamaha TRBs.

Custom or not, that is one pretty mama!

I just tried to price one up using the Warwick Price List PDF for all the options and just gave up - the price looked like it would spiral out of control early doors before I even got past the finish and inlays

That $$ wasn't a ltd that I am aware of but could quite possibly be CS or a special order that a large retail outlet might have specified. Warwick CS prices are just down right silly IMHO. They actually charge you a premium for ordering something lower spec'd than would come on a standard model; I considered a CS SSII which as standard comes with 3 band but I wanted a basic 2 band EQ, it was an extra cost option to get the lower spec'd EQ! Go figure.

I did think there were some strange things going on with the options John,but whatever this bass is, its succulent. How much do you reckon ball park?

Think I've worked out what the extra stacked pots are for;

Piezo Bridge Pick-up...

Watch the cost spiral further out of control.

Price?

New, from the Warwick CS, as it stands? Proabably the better part of £2k.

Agreed; new about £2k wouldn't be a shock BUT... luckily the $$ bass that all of the options have been thrown on 'isn't' a NT $$. Now that would have been expensive!

I love Warwick, no doubt, but I can't for one see nor hear the fuss about $$'s, having owned one as well, ah well horses for courses.

Good spot and it has to be the same bass. 2700 Euro... not a kick in the rump off £2000!

[Lfalex v1.1]

Well found there, Josh!

Not actually quite my cup of tea, though, after all that...

[dub_junkie]

thanks all, as much as I love it my enthusiasm has been curbed by the probable cost

shame
