dub_junkie Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 came across pictures of an absolute knockout looking Streamer $$ are the blueburst finish and inlays custom order only or was this a limited run bass? I've never seen one like it Its beautiful :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) That looks a bit Custom Shop to me, using the Streamer $$ 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. Edited March 23, 2008 by Lfalex v1.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Custom or not, that is one pretty mama! :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 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? Keir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would have been expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well found there, Josh! Not actually quite my cup of tea, though, after all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 thanks all, as much as I love it my enthusiasm has been curbed by the probable cost shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
