Warwick Streamer thread

[briansbrew]

I bought this 1987 Warwick Streamer Stage 1 off @dyerseve a few months back. It was originally fretted but the previous owner before Chris had it made into a fretless bass , it had a neck repair and an upper horn repair. I was initially going to strip it right back to bare 

wood but the extremely hard paint made it very difficult, I left the neck in its original blue colour but resprayed the rest of it black, you can just abut see the transition below the headstock and between both horns.

 

I got my friend who is a guitar builder and a geat luthier to do the fret job for me, turned out very well. He put me onto a local tatoo artish who also does lorry cab artwork so I asked him if he could do the flame theme for me. As you can see it turned out beautifully and Im really pleased with the result. I finished it off myself with clear gloss lacquer and a finial polish.

 

The headstock had a veneer installed with epoxy to give it that extra strength and a Warwick logo put on by my Luthier

 

I dithered over buying this but @warwickhunt gave me the push to go for it, really please now that I did and it was a delight of a project and a great bass thanks to Chris and John..

Those pickups are hot ....

 

Let me know what you think...

That's a fantastic job Brian.  The flames actually look real!  I love it from start to finish.  A brilliant job.
