Rumble Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Since getting my Kinal 5 this just doesn't get a look in so it's up for grabs. Pre-empting the questions about the SS1 label, this is the model Warwick used prior to developing the LX. Consequently, it has the maple neck of a modern SS1, but it's BO instead of NT. The body is Cherry which seems to help give a little extra warmth when compared to the usual maple body. Tone - very punchy with a nice warmth whilst retaining the typical Warwick growl. Condition - very good. No specific bashes or dings that I can see although the hardwear is tarnished in places, particularly on the bridge pieces. Electronics - It's an all MEC affair. There's some crackle on the volume pot which has appeared recently, probably due to limited use. A bit of lube should help resolve this. Price - Looking for £[s]625 [/s] £585 please Trades - no really interested in trades, but might be tempted by a nice P bass, Lakland BG or a 6 string. Pictures - struggling to upload them at the moment so I hope Josh won't mind me pointing you in the direction of his ad: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162733-sold-warwick-streamer-pre-lx-bo-4-stringsold/page__p__1469641__hl__stage__fromsearch__1#entry1469641"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1469641[/url] Thanks for looking and please get in touch with any questions....

Bassulike66 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Is the top half of the body darker than the bottom, or is the bottom half lighter than the top? Bump for a great bass..
Rumble Posted June 26, 2012 Author Posted June 26, 2012 Erm, yes....slightly.....ish. More evident on the back which means its less evident on the front!!
Rumble Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Blumin eck, I'd forgotten how quickly this forum moved on!
Bassulike66 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Yes, £600 to much, i can forward you a payment of £25 now to take it off your hands!? On a serious note Andy...i picked up my standard Streamer LX several weeks ago for £545. I am nowhere near a Warwick expert, but, their is the "rarity" value that may come into play regarding this model...it might be worth pinging a PM to warwickhunt or Markuswarwick, they may be able to help, or you could even try the Warwick forum to get a better evaluation! You may even be undercutting yourself at the price you have listed it for!. Edited July 3, 2012 by Bassulike66
simon bass Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 i would love a bass like this but cannot afford one atm. i think you may want to get some pics up that would really help. and remind people that if there local they are welcome to play it (if you want them too).
Rumble Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 I've tried on several occasions to load some pics, but four some reason it just doesn't work. Any suggestions gratefully received. I'm more than happy for folks to pop round to have play it if they want. Free tea and coffee available on request! Thanks for your suggestions and feedback. All gratefully received.
simon bass Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 seems like a nice guy peeps. and the bass will be lovely as well being a old warwick so get your hands in your pockets, if i had the extra money this would have been mine.
Kev Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Perhaps there is concern about the whole difference in body wood colour? Better pics would certainly help you, have you tried uploading by uploading them on here and attaching them to the post, or on an external website? FWIW, if i had the cash i would buy it at that price.
Rumble Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks Kev. I've tried to do it directly into the post but it just keeps saying that the upload failed. Is there a better way to do it?
Kev Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Externally on Photobucket? Thats my other method of choice
Rumble Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Not much longer before I revert to 'the bay'.... Please, someone save me the indignity!!
Josh Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 If my streamer LX 5 sells soon then I might very well buy this back.
Rumble Posted July 6, 2012 Author Posted July 6, 2012 Last couple of days before I revert to eBay. Come on guys......!! I'll even try another price drop - £585 + P&P
simon bass Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 If anybody has a streamer stage 1 near me (rotherham south Yorkshire) I could play I may be able to get the money together for this bass if they play like I remember.
Rumble Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 My folks live in Rotherham! FWIW this bass plays beautifully.
simon bass Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I would love to give it a try as my mum and dad has said they would give me a little extra money towards a new bass as a gift for finishing college and going on to university. Maybe you could visit your parents one day and bring that bass along.
