Warwick Streamer NAMM.......wow!

[merello]

Warwick introduced the Streamer CV - Classic Vintage - bass at NAMM 2013. Now Peter Baltes of Accept ordered his own Custom Shop Streamer CV according to his personal needs.

This bass comes with a Red Alder body, a Maple neck and a Rosewood fingerboard with a 7,5" radius equipped with dot inlays.

Peter Baltes' Streamer CV is fired with active EMG P/J pickups combined with passive MEC electronics.

The ultimate highlight of this bass is obviously the special metal finish with the matching aged hardware and details.

That is one ugly mess, yuck.

"Just for extra protection, I put three shocks in, so, you know, when I play the bass, it's so powerful, I just wanna make sure the bridge stays straight."

WTF

I think the bolts should do a good job of that by themselves mate.

[HowieBass]

I don't know who Peter Baltes is; not missing anything am I?

[Chris Sharman]

Hmmmm...Warwick create the Steampunk/Scapyard Bass.

Not for me thanks.

[warwickhunt]

Each to his own I suppose but I'll not be joining the queue even if they are giving them away for free! [size=4] [/size]

[chrismuzz]

I think it looks kind of cool, but the dot inlays seem out of place.

[NancyJohnson]

Does he actually say, 'badass bridge' at about the 25 second mark? Faux pas or otherwise, the bridge is a ringer for this Schaller unit here:

[Dingus]

Another custom bass for someone who probably used to eat crayons when he was at school because the other kids told him to. Where can I order mine?

[Lw.]

That is a monstrosity! Finish looks awful, Shocks?! Just don't know what people are thinking sometimes. I don't know why but Warwick maple necks always look cheap to me for some reason.

[DarkHeart]

thats horrible! if they went to so much trouble with the metal finish why stick a plastic control cavity plate on the back?

[Lw.]

Has anyone ever had a bridge fall off (a decent bass)? What is the actual logic behind the shocks?

[Roland Rock]

I don't get the logic behind the shocks either. I admire 'out there' finishes, and would prefer that to a quilted or spalted maple top any day. I've seen much nicer steampunk style basses though

[warwickhunt]

No 'logic' to the shocks, they are purely (ugly) aesthetic!

[discreet]

Where can I get some of those 'shocks' from?
[size=4]Obviously all this time my bass bridge hasn't been staying straight when I'm playing powerfully! [/size]

[Dazed]

Ummm does he also say its made of metal ?

Hey that guy plays a warwick, he's cool, so I'm going to buy one!!!

[Kev]

Completely awful, but a good advertisement for the custom shop. They really will do anything...

[Turk]

Oh dear ! [size=4] [/size]

[maldy]

Not fussed on this particulate custom shop bass, but I do like the other streamer CVs that were unleashed last year. I would love to try one of those. However, they just don't appear to be for sale anywhere.

[BigRedX]

Another candidate for the "how ridiculous can the design of my bass be and Warwick will still build it" competition.

Still not beating Adam Clayton's Warwick though...

I can think of one knob on the clip

Bloody awful. What's happened to Warwick?

[fender73]

[rmcki]

Some customer shop projects may damage reputation... I have never heard such bollox.
