Veils Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I wasn’t really in the market for a new bass, but when I saw this up for sale, I felt I had to seize the opportunity. It’s a masterbuilt Warwick streamer stage II in a beautiful red finish. Interested to know if anyone owns or has previously owned a stage II. This is costing me a little over £3000, which is a lot but considering ordering one of these from Warwick is the pointy end of £8000, I figured it was a decent deal. This bass has never actually been played, so I’m getting a brand new instrument. 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I used to own a West German made Streamer and it was an incredible bass. I’m sure this one will be, as well. Congrats and let us know what it sounds like when you get it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthumb Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Stunner! I almost bought one here years ago but I was let down by the seller, decided to sell it to somebody else instead. I’ve owned a number of Stage 1s, LX’s Jazzmans which have all been great and a few Thumbs too. But never one of these and the prices now make them well out of reach for me. Enjoy the bass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veils Posted October 27 Author Share Posted October 27 I had the very first streamer double buck in the UK many years ago. Warwick cocked up and sent the wrong bass when I ordered a corvette double buck. I also owned a black stage I for a little while. So I know this is going to be good. I’ll make sure I get some clips when it arrives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Wow, not often you can say £3000 is a bargain but in this case I’d def say so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list price from Warwick is utterly bonkers, so it makes it feel like a bargain. Never had the pleasure of handling a masterbuilt Warwick, so I’m pretty excited about this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralchew Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Really lovely bass, congratulations! I've not played a Masterbuilt instrument but the Teambuilt ones are good so I suspect this must be amazing. It's a beauty too; I hope you get a lot of joy and use out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycloud Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Awesome, may it be as wonderful as you hope. Not that I'd be complaining in your shoes, but I'd personally love it if the NT was visible from the front like my Cort A5 Ultra Ash or my former Alembics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Stevens Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 That's gonna deserve 'listing' on your house insurance cover or similar... Or needs covering stand alone....? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Yup, pretty sure it will need to be mentioned in my insurance. I’ve got quite a collection of expensive instruments now, those premiums are climbing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
