Sold Pending: 2 week old Warwick Pro Series Streamer CV5- immaculate £900

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a 2 week old Warwick Streamer Pro Series CV5 (team built in Germany) complete with fitted Warwick gigbag and all the tools (including straplocks). It has been set up by Hardy's Music in Bristol and is strung with a new set of DR Sunbeams. It also comes with a brand new set of La Bekka Deep Talkin' Flats that cost £47.

These have satin finishes and I reckon this one is less than 9lbs in weight. It is passive and sounds wonderful. In fact, it's the best 5 string bass I've ever played but unfortunately old injuries still hamper me when playing 5 strings

These retail at £1,479 (check out the identical one in the Great British Bass Lounge). Mine is absolutely spotless, virtually unplayed and considerably less at £850 plus postage.

I've played this and it's really nice

You really want to trade for a G&L Superstrat (Oh, yes you do!).

I'm not a 5 string guy, but that's lovely .

The string spacing is adjustable. It goes from about 15/16 out to about 20mm as far as I can tell with my Warwicks when I played with it.

Interesting, just trying to get my head around how that works? If you can adjust the space between all strings from 16 to 20mm, there is 4 spaces x4mm, thats 16mm of extra width required on the neck? Doesn't look like the fretboard could accomadate that increase without the top & bottom strings being off the edge? Not saying you are wrong Grangur just I cant see it! :-)
Still liking the look of it type of bump.

[/quote] TBH last time I looked at it I was doing it on a 5string. If I get time tonight I'll have a try on a 4 string and see what variance I can get.
