Josh Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Hey all, So this is more of a feeler right now. It’s my dream bass but it isn’t quite working in my current project as I’m using the B string more frequently and it’s starting to get problematic due to the pick up positioning. Ideally I’d like to replace it with a Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5 String, I’d be open to a Sadowsky or Spector 5 string trade as well. It’s a 2000 model, so it is just about 18 years old but it has really been well looked after by its previous owners. There are a few very minor dings here and there which I’ll try to show in the pictures. The electronics/hardware all work perfectly fine. Price: £1200 I can post or it can be collected from Bridgwater, Somerset. Thanks guys, Josh. Edited April 12, 2018 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 These are incredible instruments! There really is nothing else like a thumb NT! Especially a 5er and that B which is just so damn tight. The pup placement can take some getting used to but have you considered a thumb rest? I have a Streamer S1 5er as well and again it's a very special bass but the tones are not really comparable IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew beforehand that it might be problematic but I wasn’t involved in a project which required using the B as often, otherwise using it every now and again wasn’t an issue. Also, the mids can prove to be quite tricky as well as it is a very growly specimen! Edited March 19, 2018 by MB1 Trade mentioned in post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 My old bass, it's a great example of one, such a distinctive tone. I concur with the above, tonally a SS1 is very, very different so it depends what you're after really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streamers have always been the all-rounder, they can do a bit of everything but still have that signature Warwick growl and high end clarity, they take far less work to make them work in a mix due to the mids being far less as intense. That’s pretty much exactly what I need right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Bump. Any Spector Euro 5’s out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellboy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Josh, Thumb NT is my dream bass, I have a 5 string warwick, its not a normal streamer, but a $$streamer, extremely versatile, bolt on neck, Couple of minor marks on bottom, Ive just had to reorder an adjuster nut (plastic and it broke) but otherwise its an insane bass, I wouldn't even consider swapping it for anything but a thumb. Not my one but pic for attention ( its this colour as well but black hardware not gold) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Bump. This is now up for sale as well. I’ve dropped the price to £1200 but I’m open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerfish Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 A neck through Warwick for £1200.... what is happening... hell of a bass for the money. If my Sandberg shifts I'd be all over this. Good luck with the sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
