[quote name='XB26354' post='522817' date='Jun 24 2009, 06:37 PM']Now a two Warwick family.

09 Corvette $$ 6-string in Natural w/gold hardware - arrived last Friday, wicked combination of beautiful woods and ballsy tone.
05 Streamer Stage One 6-string in Nirvana Black w/Seymour Duncan Basslines - an absolute monster with sustain for days.

I'm not a big Warwick fan but a lot of their designs look far better as 6 strings. That's a lovely pair.

Wow! That is a gorgeous Infinity. Is it one of the original Limited editions (I think they had an Ovangkol neck), or the newer one (with a maple neck)?

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='526553' date='Jun 28 2009, 10:27 AM']Here's my 1990 Thumb

It's like something that's been hewn by German elves with Adzes.

And a photo nicked from John:

I thought I recognised that! :)

Oh and when I've got a spare hour I'll stick some pics up (past and present) but when 'peted' referred to the original Infinity Ltd Ed's he may have been referring to this bass.

You can certainly have first refusal though! lets see some pics of your thumb :rolleyes:[/quote]

Well - as you ask:

Bog standard Bolt on thumb, but the tone is simply the best of any of my basses (although its probably a tie with the Shuker!). I love the neck too. At least two Basschatters have owned this before me, and both didn't like the balance. Personally, I've never had a problem and find it fine. The only downside is that it seems to weigh about the same as the rest of my basses put together!

Holy Cr@p! That's an amazing Thumb bolt-on! I wouldn't have believed that it's on its 3rd owner, it looks mint. Puts mine to shame :) They are amazing, aren't they?

Here's my contribution, my Streamer LX-5:



She's 10 years old this September - anyone know how to determine her real age?

The serial number on the back of the headstock - the last 2 digits are the year and the letter at the start tells you the month in which it was made (A=Jan, B=Feb but drop the letter 'I') or you could put your serial number in here for full details (mind even Warwick get it wrong occasionally :) )
