Kev Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Cash Price £1100 Trade Value £1200 Warwick Streamer Stage I, built in 1990 (classic era) with original gorgeous high gloss red finish. Bought this bass from John (Warwickhunt) only last month as part of a surge of Warwick purchases to find the right one for me. The Dolphin seems to be about perfect so I am with a heavy heart moving this one on. [i]Hope John doesn't mind me copying in his advert text:[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217039-warwick-streamer-stage-i-90-sold/page__hl__warwickhunt__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url][/i] [i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Manufacturer: Warwick[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Model: SSI[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Year/serial number: 90 [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Country of origin: W Germany[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Body: Maple (light flame)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neck: Maple w Wenge stringers Neck-Thru[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fingerboard: Wenge[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pick-ups: MEC[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Preamp: [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]MEC[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hardware: Warwick (adjustable for height/intonation/string spacing)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Finish: Red - see-thru high gloss[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Extras: Straplocks[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight: 9lb 2oz [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No issues, with a few small dings, dinks and worming but nothing that is deep or through to the wood. This bass has a superb tone; which I could either attribute to the harder maple that they used on these earlier all maple Stage I's or (arguably) the gloss finish. Either way it has a lovley thick but clear, piano like tone. I originally bought this bass back in 92 and it was my only/main bass for many years. I did trade it back in the late early 00's at Howard's Bass Place and it actually ended up with a fellow BCer whom I got it back from and I am only selling it now as I have bought another similar age/tone SSI which is just a bit lighter than this and fits my weight needs better[/font][/color][/i] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]The bass feels great to play and is one of the most comfortable Warwicks I have owned. John describes the tone perfectly and the instrument sounds great. I think the bass could potentially benefit from a setup and maybe a fret dress as I find there can be a little too much fret noise with rounds at the low action I play at (John found no problems but I have a heavy attack!). Something to factor in perhaps . I know a luthier in Coventry who could do a full setup and dress for ~£60 and can by all means arrange as a condition of sale. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]In really nice condition with a perfect amount of wear for it's age. Also has four extra holes in the headstock if you wanted to angle the tuners ala Spector.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Will prefer to meet or deliver this bass myself if local enough, but if that isn't possible I will ship. Will need to be fully insured and I would anticipate a cost between £25-£40 depending on what service you want. I'm hanging onto the Hiscox hardcase so the bass will come in an Ultimate Soft Case [/size][/font][/color][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Ulitimate_Bags_Stands.html"]http://www.bassdirec...ags_Stands.html[/url]. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Cash price is firm, no offers please. I do not need to sell this and would be very happy to keep hold of it, just doesn't make much sense when it won't really get played. Trades would interest me, let me have your offers by PM please.[/size][/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Dings are very difficult to photograph due to the finish but they are just natural wear for a 23 year old bass [/color][/font] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0858_zps83bc68f1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0859_zpsfea641c4.jpg.html"][/url] Edited January 11, 2014 by Kev
CPBass Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Absolutely stunning presentation Kev. Top bass from top bloke. This is a steal!,
warwickhunt Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 No disrespect to Kev's photography skills but... the bass is WAY nicer in the flesh! [size=4]It is a lovely transparent red whereby you can see the light flaming of the maple body. [/size] [size=4]If it weren't for the fact that I am downsizing I'd have this back off Kev (hence my original sale). In fact I still have several more basses that I need to move on and if this is still available it may well end up coming back to me. [/size]
Bassulike66 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Aaaaaarrrrggghhhh...if i hadn't just purchased a Vampyre SN i would of jumped at this!!
Kev Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 Yup, apologies for photography! As the good man says, looks much better in the flesh.
Josh Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Kev you are absolutely flying through Warwicks lately, I'm both jealous and in shock Edited November 27, 2013 by Josh
Kev Posted November 27, 2013 Author Posted November 27, 2013 I know! Think it will stop now as I am happy with the Dolphin, but I have been changing my mind all week about this Streamer, I almost withdrew it today. I should have just kept the Thumb! All pm's replied to.
Kev Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 Sorry buddy! Concentrate on getting a 5 string This sale is now cash only, no trades please unless substantial cash my way.
CPBass Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Your right....its just so tempting, you wont have that for long. Soo much bass for such little money.
Kev Posted December 1, 2013 Author Posted December 1, 2013 Sign of the times unfortunately, it may sell and it may not! Fantastic instrument, it won't be the end of the world if I have to keep it . If it doesn't sell before Xmas I may well be doing just that!
Kev Posted December 7, 2013 Author Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Still available for the moment Killer bass, this. I have had 3 different vintage (pre 90) Streamers and this is the best by some way. Would not be selling unless I was in need of the cash. I would also like first refusal from any buyer, condition of sale Some more pictures: [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0847_zps4300f50c.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0847_zps4300f50c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0849_zps710b3c64.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0849_zps710b3c64.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0851_zps1f2cacc1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0851_zps1f2cacc1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0853_zps8e1357b2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0853_zps8e1357b2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0855_zpsc03d0956.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0855_zpsc03d0956.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0856_zps9dd82610.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0856_zps9dd82610.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s75.photobucket.com/user/KevMan69/media/DSC_0860_zps36b3ad90.jpg.html][IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/KevMan69/DSC_0860_zps36b3ad90.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edited December 7, 2013 by Kev
Kev Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 I think this will go the same way as the other Streamer that was for sale and I will withdraw if it doesn't sell before Christmas. £1100 plus shipping, no offers. Trade value £1200, bass plus cash please. I will not be bumping this again
Fionn Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1387107523' post='2308200'] I think this will go the same way as the other Streamer that was for sale and I will withdraw if it doesn't sell before Christmas. £1100 plus shipping, no offers. Trade value £1200, bass plus cash please. I will not be bumping this again [/quote] That's a very fair price for an instrument of this quality, particularly considering that classic Warwicks are on the ascendant, value-wise. She's a beauty of a Streamer, with a gorgeous and rare finish. It would be no shame if you had to hold on to such a lovely bass.
Kev Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Bump, back for sale. Just cant justify keeping it. Someone please buy quickly to take it away from me before I change my mind again as I can't afford to! £1100 cash plus shipping (£35+ depending on your insurance requirements) but collection or meet up much preferred. £1200 trade value, at least £5-600 cash needed my way.

W11ATO Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Hello Kev, any interest in an Overwater Perception Deluxe plus a few quid?
Kev Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Still here Need for cash has dropped due to other sales, but the bass is still surplus to requirement. Ideally looking for a 5 or 6 string bass or fretless, but will consider any trade that will give me something different.
Kev Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 the bass is under offer, however not confirmed yet so if you have an offer to make, now is the time to message me
