Here we have for sale my 1990 Warwick Streamer Stage II NT4 FL. I bought this bass from the original owner who custom ordered it new from Warwick. I collected the bass during a driving holiday to Germany, and after went to the W factory for a tour where HPW signed the bass before we left. When I returned home I emailed them and HPW replied with:

GLWTS these basses are incredible, I have the fretted version and it is super playable versatile and superb quality

Absolutely beautiful bass, a dream bass for me and one I would love to play and own. Sadly, zero funds available. GLWTS.

Its not as hard as you might think, if you have a good ear and half decent technique then its a walk in the park and not really that different to a fretted bass.

I've been asked for a few more photos including the neck and headstock, so I'll post up here.

Gorgeous SSII! The figuring on the Afzelia is beautiful. Very unusual to have HPW sig on the headstock. I'm guessing this must have been a custom bass

Edit - helps if I read the listing first! 🤦‍♂️

I've been asked again for some more photos to include the electronic/battery compartments and the trusrod area. The electronics are all original and work as expected. The trussrod moves in both directions and the fretboard is set-up nearly flat with low-ish action.

I've been asked what the string spacing is @ the bridge and if the spacing can be adjusted. At the moment the string spacing is 18mm @ the bridge, and can easily be adjusted between 18-20mm. The spacing can also be adjusted more +/- by raising the saddles. I found a new set of Roto Jazz strings in my kit bag so installed them today, plays like butter 😎

Have a bump on me. Top guy to deal with, I bought Ken's Thumb 4NT recently..

[UK Ken]

Thanks Marc, likewise. Would ya like a family reunion @ your house 😁

Gorgeous Bass, wish I could afford it.

I have visited Ken (a gent and credit to Basschat) and played this bass, it's a gorgeous fretless made by Warwick when there was something rather special about the basses of this era. I probably would be getting funds together for it if I wasn't hankering for an early dolphin fretless so much.

Finally some well needed sunshine and spring cleaning. The SSII has just had a good waxing and lemon oil the neck and fretboard, with a new set of strings she looks and plays a treat 😎

 

[MungoBass]

That neck is a thing of beauty.. just like the rest of the bass!

[Alirm63]

Hi Ken, it was good to see you earlier this week and a pleasure to play such a wonderful bass 😎 good luck with your sale 👍 

All the best.

I’ve been asked if the bass has an active/passive pre-amp. I should have clarified this in the original post. Yes the bass is active/passive, by lifting the volume pot you bypass the active pre-amp putting it into passive mode.

This beautiful instrument can be delivered to you in a orange Warwick heavy duty  flightcase inside a cardboard box, or for £100 less could be delivered in a Warwick gigbag inside the cardboard box. Alternatively I can meet you at a reasonable distance or further for petrol money. Otherwise you can come down for a cup of tea and collect.
