Pedro1020 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Final Price drop - [b]£950[/b] - No interest in trades. Hello! it's been a while since I've been on this site, quite some years actually! I'm looking to sell my 1986 Warwick Streamer, hopefully to a fellow BC'er who'll cherish it as much as I have. It's in good condition for it's age, a few minor marks around the bottom of the body/near the jack input. The usual slight thumb hazing above the neck PU. I've tried to capture these in the pictures provided. The back of the neck, fretboard (frets also) & headstock on the otherhand are flawless. As far as playability goes it's an effortless dream. The slim neck profile, streamline body contours & light weight are what make these earlier Warwicks incredible. My reason for sale is.. I only play it once or twice a year. I'll admit that I baby it, so it hasn't seen much action in it's lifetime. Too much time consumed by work & other things. Specs:[list] [*]Original EMG active pickups. [*]Warwick branded Schaller Machine Heads. [*]Warwick branded Schaller 3D4 Bridge. [*]Gold hardware. [*]Brass nut. [*]Cherry wings with Wenge neckthrough design & fretboard with pearl(oid) dot inlays. [/list] Comes with an official Warwick padded gig bag - in great condition, no rips, tears. Still has "the ol' tagger on it". Should also point out that this bass is from a smoke free household. I'm located in Buckinghamshire/High Wycombe, SE. Collection prefered. Thanks for looking! gotta get used to forums again.

Kev Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Oo, don't see that combination very often at all, Warwick head with non angled tuners, reckon 1986 was the only year they did that. Lovely stuff! GLWTS!
Pedro1020 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks for the kind words guys, she is a stunner! @Kev after years of owning it, I've only just realised that.. good eye!
cocco Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Rare and beautiful old bird that. Good luck with the sale!
FuNkShUi Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 This is similar to mine, but mine is 87. They are brilliant basses. I'll never sell mine. Whoever gets this will love it.
warwickhunt Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Lovely looking bass but not 'totally' original... the battery compartment is a replacement. [size=4] [/size]
40hz Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Wish I had the cash! Could justify it as a Year of birth bass too! Glwts!

Lw. Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Absolute bargain! I really wish I had the money, a proper piece of bass history for less than a grand - insane!

Pedro1020 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Bumpin' up. Must reiterate that this is a [b]UK[/b] sale only (to all the interest I've gained elsewhere, sorry but I'd like to avoid any hassle).

Kev Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 What is with the current drop in vintage Warwick bass prices? Only a month or two ago there was a Streamer almost identical on here for sale at £1200 and it sold for that price. Bargains everywhere!
