Jayfaedoom Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I have up for sale my Warwick Streamer Stage 1 bass guitar. It is in a used condition, it has been gigged extensively but still sounds amazing. It may need a wee bit of an overhaul due to a bit of earthing buzz going on, I have not opened it up and had a look yet. I am sure it is a very small minor job. The finish is not the best. The bottom part of the body has some of the finish removed and there is cracks on the finish. This does not effect the performance of the bass just does not look too great. I have covered this area with duct tape to try and prevent it from worsening and to add extra padding to it when being transported in its gig bag. Looking for around £450 but due to the cosmetic damage I am open to offers. I would also consider part exchange for guitar cab(s) or a decent guitar. p.s. the pics look different as some are from when I had it listed on ebay and changed my mind and the other (darker) ones where taken just yesterday.

thisnameistaken Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) What happened to the finish - did it just start flaking off? Also what are the modifications to the electronics - what pickups are those, and why three knobs + a switch? Edit: Actually is that a switch or just blanking the hole left by the fourth knob? Last question: What year is it? Ta. Edited June 2, 2009 by thisnameistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbass Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 My streamer lx did the exact same thing, and it was exactly the same colour as this one, pieces of laquer just start to flake off, most strange, either way, this would be good to completely strip down and refin, would come up looking as good as new!

rjb Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Obviously someone at the Warwick factory made a pigs ear of a batch..... Shame it's not a fiver, I'd grab this and re-finish it in oil. Edited June 2, 2009 by rjb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDM Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Would you happen to be interested in a Laney 4x12 or an Ibanez RG570EX(Japanese made, with the original Edge trem)? Edited June 2, 2009 by thedonutman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was upgraded to these pickups by the seller and he removed a tone knob, I do not know why. I am unsure to what year it is as well. Sorry I can not be of more help.

Does the bass have a volute at the top of the neck? Just trying to help you date it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
