Raslee Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Help, i simply can't make my mind up. The honeymoon period is over with my Warwick Streamer S1 I acquired last month. I've decided that one is a keeper for now, I love it, sits great in a rock covers band I'm playing with. Wife has now caught up on the accounts and reminded me that I said I would sell a bass upon the purchase of said Streamer. So which one to go of the residual stock - tough decision: I have a Stingray, barely use it but i like it's looks (Blue) and if i haven't got a Stingray i always want one, probably best this one remains plus it is well beaten so probably worth more to keep than sell. It's going to have to be between my sunburst Fender J or Sunburst P then, but which one to go??? First up: Fender J, My Pro's Highly rated post 2012 model (2015) with the 60's PU's, rosewood neck, versatile, not too heavy. Con's don't like the raised pole pieces on the PU's, super clean so fear of scratching it. Probably worth around £875 ish i reckon Second up: Fender P 2008 model, Pro's Simple to use being a P, good bass for the occasional deps i do with my old functions band (50's, 60's music), has a Lollar pick up upgrade. Con's Maple board (prefer rosewood) Prob worth around £800 ish i reckon Which one to sacrifice to the sales guillotine ...help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Keep the P - the Streamer is your sort of jazz? I’m not that familiar with Warwicks though, so happy to be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Sell the Jazz. The P and the Warwick are earning for you. So, the Jazz is the weakest link 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibob Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I’d sell the Warwick lol But if that’s a ‘keeper’, and you love Stingrays, sell the Jazz. Always have a Precision 😉 Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulhauser Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 You should sell the Jazz as that seems to be the least used / attached to. But you have such a great selection that it is a pity to sell any of it. Have you looked into covering that £800-ish you'd get for the jazz in other ways? Like selling other bass related stuff or such? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Personally, I would sell the Ray, but you could Put the P and the J up,let fate decide which one goes first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floFC Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I’d say the P will sell faster. But it seems what you really need is to sell both and get a sunburst P with a rosewood neck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Sell both the P and the J. Then buy a sunburst P with a rosewood fretboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works for me 😉 Personally I would sell the Warwick as a P, a J & a Stingray are essential. Difficult decision - good luck! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raslee Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thanks for the replies guys - the humorous ones too 😏, plenty of food for thought there. Despite historically being a strong jazz bass man (all my fav's play jazzes), i am leaning towards keeping the P...bit of a late P convert if I'm honest. That said I like the idea of perhaps selling both and getting a P with a rosewood neck. Have to say though I'm quite smitten with the Warwick Streamer S1 at the moment. I have also got a Vander End which is my modding bass (has had lots of mods before my time), and is currently set up as a PJ but it can easily be set back to a jazz if I need a jazz option....I guess I should have mentioned about that in my original post, that one has a maple neck too - it feels like it's been somehow relegated that bass but it's such a great bass and again probably not going to sell that one. Yep, I think in reading and reflecting upon your replies above and typing this up I've made up my mind to sell the Jazz and put the P up for sale or trade for another P with a rosewood neck. Thanks chaps...I think I've got there but will still sleep on it. Incidentally I did say to the wife they may not sell for a while 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'd put the Jazz neck on the precision body and hide the Jazz body & Precision neck from the missus in the loft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Personally I'd sell the Wick and get yourself a much better, thru neck Spector but since that's unlikely have you considered finding a decent PJ that you like then let one of the Fenders go?

jazzyvee Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Wow, that must be a hard choice to make when it doesn't sound like you really want to sell either. Fortunately, whenever my other half knows I'm interested in another bass, she encourages me to buy it, she even comes along with me to collect it.!!!

jazzyvee Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 At the risk of exposing my ignorance about these two basses, I'd be inclined to swap the necks and get the maple neck on the jazz bass then sell the P bass. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
