HaveBlue Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) [color=#333333]Up for sale is my '91 Warwick Streamer 5-string in natural oil finish.[/color] [color=#333333]In a nutshell:[/color] [color=#333333]Built in 1991, serial number C20691;[/color] [color=#333333]flame maple body wings (the pictures really don't do it justice);[/color] [color=#333333]7-piece maple/wengé neck;[/color] [color=#333333]wengé fingerboard;[/color] [color=#333333]natural oil/wax finish;[/color] [color=#333333]mother-of-pearl sidedots;[/color] [color=#333333]Bartolini soapbar pickups;[/color] [color=#333333]MEC preamp (pickup-pan, master volume (pull passive), bass cut/boost, treble cut/boost;[/color] [color=#333333]fitted with the original Schaller straplocks;[/color] [color=#333333]fully adjustable Warwick 3D bridge with 19mm string spacing;[/color] [color=#333333]Warwick Just-A-Nut nut;[/color] [color=#333333]Weight: ~4,89 kilograms;[/color] [color=#333333]'Made in West-Germany' tuners [/color] [color=#333333]The Streamer is fully original and had a refret in 2014 using original Warwick bell-brass fretwire. The job was done by luthier Wim Heins in Sneek, the Netherlands. The trussrod was replaced by myself with an original Warwick replacement. The original is still here and you could use it when you fit it with a couple of washers if you're manic about originality. The low cost for a replacement rod made me decide to do a drop-in replacement. NB: with these basses, the trussrod is a user-replaceable part.[/color] [color=#333333]If you take its age into account, the overall condition is very good. Some minor scratches here and there which are covered up mostly by the matte finish. It was always well taken care of using original Warwick maintenance products. The bass is fitted with a fresh set of Elixir strings and comes with a (non-original) hardshell case.[/color] [color=#333333]Not really looking for trades but trade-plus-cash of a 5-string MusicMan Stingray or Pedulla MVP 5-string is something I would consider.[/color] [color=#333333]Pickup is preferred but shipping throughout Europe is no problem even though I would never buy a bass in this price range without having played it myself. Location is Gorredijk, the Netherlands. Looking for GBP 1.250,00 (excluding shipping).[/color] [color=#333333][/color] [color=#333333][/color] [color=#333333][/color] Edited September 27, 2015 by HaveBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had more cash otherwise I'd other my Musicman Bongo 4HH in parting too. GLWTS [/quote] Thanks. My current 'player' is a Bongo 5HS. Make no mistake: the (this!) Streamer is a *great* bass and the Bongo might look like the odd duck of the bunch but in my opinion, it has the edge over the SS1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
