Some of the Warwick sig basses are really nice. Just a shame they plummet in value like nothing else

I saw a stunning early custom shop Streamer go for just £999 a couple of weeks ago.

Good time to buy if you can find something like that one though

Warwick 5 string necks are frakking enormous though. I had a 5 string Fortress once and it sounded perfect, but the neck was so painful for me.

That's interesting as the only reason I got rid of my fortress four string was the neck was too skinny.

Depends on the era it was made in.
Early ones would have wenge necks with fairly thin profile. When they switched to ovangkol necks, which isn't as hard as wenge, they changed their neck profiles. Currently they're back to thinner necks, and the custom shop has been offering a "flat C shape" profile since 2006-2007 or something. At custom shop prices though, unfortunately.

I love the P-nut signature. It is essentially much like a Streamer Stage II, but with the JazzMan configuration. It might very likely be my perfect bass, if it wasn't so damn expensive

Might have been a broadneck mate.

Just about to suggest that you buy my SSII and fit a triple coil in the bridge position... then I noted you were a lefty!

That's a beaut'...

You just know that's going to be as punchy as hell...

What's going on with extended complicated strap button though?

The buttons aren't extended, they just installed the Warwick Security Locks for the photo (the end that's supposed to be attached to your strap is also in the photograph).
