roman_sub Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Streamer-Bass-/281977845837"]http://www.ebay.co.u...s-/281977845837[/url] struck me as cheap-ish at first, but actually this one has been modded - not sure about that extra input jack on the front... so maybe fair price. but likely to be a great sounding instrument!

spectoremg Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Could the Warwick aficionados take a look at this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yep it is what it says. Also has a replacement nut, extra pot (+ existing pot-hole filled) added poss for 3 band EQ (this would likely have been 2 band EQ in 1990), is it a top mounted output or is it a snapped off pot shaft? I'd ask about the line/potential crack from the 6th tuner. Pups may well be original as Barts were an option and the routing looks correct. Fingerboard is ebony as opposed to usual wenge but this could be a custom order bass due to it being an early sixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moooper Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 That old girl has certainly seen some action, not the best job done on the added EQ which a shame. It's probably worth "somewhere" near there on a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Is it me or does that look like the fingerboard has been replaced? Warwicks usually have a scalloped type edge where it meets the body? Check the neck is straight and truss rod is ok too if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moooper Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yeah well spotted looks like a replacement fingerboard.

And he doesn't mention the battery compartment - that needs a bit of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyjimbob Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Would have been a good price if in original condition but the pot replacement, input jack and what seems to be a fretboard replacement means it's a no from me. In that condition I personally think it should be going for a few hundred quid less but that's just my opinion.
