**SOLD**Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5 string BN 2001 beautiful burgundy finish £1600 South East London

[alinbassplayer]

With a heavy heart i'm putting my 2001 Warwick SS1 5 string up for sale.

When I got it 3 years ago it was in a dire situation in its original "finish", it was all scratched up and the previous owner just kept waxing without cleaning, so a lot of grime had built up, one of the original saddles was lost and had been replaced with a smaller one, and the jack plug only worked continuously in passive mode, active was interrupted.

So i replaced the whole bridge, will provide the old one for parts, i think i still have the original knobs it came with but they were just a little more tarnished and had lost their shine.

When i bought the bridge and measured everything I realized this is actually the broad neck version and not the normal one, i only had a rockbass to compare it to, and that's not a fair comparison.

2 years ago i had it professionally refinished by one of the Crimson Guitars tutors. It is now in a lovely semi satin finish, and a nice red which i think actually enhances the flamed maple, we managed to cover and clean most of the scratches but some can still be seen.

I have also installed recessed Dunlop straplocks but i can provide the original ones should anyone endeavour to install them back, i am not very skilled in woodwork and didn't want to screw it up.(get it?!)

The preamp and pickups are original, preamp is 3 band active/passive and honestly the tone out of it is unbelievable.

The neck is beautiful, a little on the thicc side, but feels very comfortable and compliments the looks and sound of the bass.

Only selling as the addition of a new bass will basically mean this will not be used at all anymore.

Original specs as per warwick serial no.

G 085969-01 

2001 Streamer Stage 1

5 string

Flamed maple AA body

Flamed maple neck

Natural oil finish(not any more)

Gold hardware

And i think the fretboard is Wenge but it's not mentioned on the specs.

It has been my main war horse for the past 2 years so it has a few newer scars, all can be seen in the photos. I keep my action pretty high as i play in A tuning. It could do with a clean and maybe a setup. Strings are fairly recent D'Daddario nickels 135 and lower.

Any questions let me know, not interested in trades, unless it's a 5 string fanned fret/headless/both. 

Offers welcome as price is not fixed.

I prefer collection only from Lewisham, London or around the South East London area.

Will come with a Hiscox Liteflite HSC.

Price drop: £1400 ONO

Yup, it is the broad neck version, even though the specs on the warwick website don't say that.

Can't believe you're letting this one go!

Thanks @Al Krow, it just depends if i can absorb the expense of my newest addition in the coming month/s before this sells  but honestly it's not something i'm letting go without replacing with an equal caliber beast.

That is a great looking bass.

So it is tuned in and set up for ADGCF at the moment?

What is the weight of it?

Hi Dan, thank you, it is indeed, i just took it out of the case now to weigh it, and was just saying the same thing, honestly in any light, that red flamed maple just pops nicely.

It is tuned ADGCF and on my bathroom scale it weighs around the 4.7kg-4.8kg mark, currently it is the heaviest beast i have.

Hi,

Is it a 19mm or a 20mm string to string spacing ?

At the moment it seems to be 20mm, but it's adjustable higher or smaller, as warwick 3d bridge is almost fully adjustable.
