littleal Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 [quote name='budget bassist' post='627384' date='Oct 15 2009, 09:52 PM']maybe she'll get the real thing some day is it a westfield? nice work on the headstock either way[/quote] Yes it's a Westfield, I think she wants a streamer stage1 5 string but this is ideal for her to learn on & she plays it more now its been modified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 nice, what are the mods other than the bridge and the headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted the mec 2 band eq but since we fitted the bridge it has changed the tone & it sounds really vibrant now, I gigged this bass twice & had some really nice comments on the sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 haha cool, it would be interesting in hearing the sound difference as i've always been a little skeptical as to how much difference changing a lump of metal would actually make!

Urban Bassman Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Oh...only just seen this thread...I've posted these elsewhere but this is about Warwicks, here are my three beauties. Recent convert Warwick's and can't see myself wanting to play anything else. First up is my Streamer Stage 1 Custom Shop [attachment=40638:Warkick_SS1_1.jpg] [attachment=40639:Warwick_SS1_2.jpg] Second is my Thumb Beach Blonde, bought from UK Ken via this site [attachment=40640:Thumb1.jpg] [attachment=40641:Thumb2.jpg] Third (but probably not last) is my Streamer 5 string $$ Special Edition [attachment=40642:Streamer__1.jpg] [attachment=40643:Streamer__2.jpg] Enjoy Edited January 20, 2010 by urban Bassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleblob Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just tooks some pics (not great ones) of my couple of Warwicks First up we have a proline 6 string lined fretless ... and the nice 7 piece neck and then a 6 string fretted. You know what. I have no idea of the model. I assume it's a Streamer of some type but there's no indication of the model that I can see on the bass and I've never cared enough to find out the model before - I just play it But if you know the model please feel free to enlighten this ignorant person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Here's my passive Warwick Corvette Standard. My first introduction to Warwicks. The tone is out of this world, the quality is out of this world and the feel is good. As I am used to Fenders and Stingrays, the only thing I have to get used to is the smaller body and the longer neck. Still, I am loving it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 My latest acquisition... 86 - Stage I fretless. Many similarities with Ben's bass (Cherry body, Wenge neck, 1 piece bridge etc.) but Ben's bass is the original incarnation with the spade headstock (serial number on the headstock rear) and straight tuners as per the Spector NS basses; whereas mine is subtly different as the headstock shape changed (to avoid the litigation with Spector) and the serial number is stamped top of the headstock with the usual letter prefix/number/year but they hadn't yet moved to the angled tuners or the 2 piece bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also has the original EMG's but they're very worn, this bass has been played to death. PS: It was my very good friend Dom who bought your '90 Bartolini Humbucker Streamer from you!

And yes, Dom's purchase funded this, which at under 8.5lb is far gentler on my dicky shoulder than the 90 Ltd Ed (which is however a stunning bass, regardless or perhaps because of the weight).

budget bassist Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) I was getting worried about you, WH, as i'd seen you posting about zons and bolins more than warwicks!
