gafbass02 Posted January 19, 2024 Posted January 19, 2024 (edited) Just bought back my old Streamer LX that I sold on here something like 15 years ago. Always missed it, so pleased to have it back. Sadly it’s had some damage in the meantime, and it’s cost a bit to get going, but now with its new EMG insides, it’s sounding great. Last two pics are from the first time around, back when I still had long hair Edited January 19, 2024 by gafbass02 7 Quote
basso navo Posted February 18, 2024 Posted February 18, 2024 Third in the family! My solid body double bass made by Emanuel Wilfer, and my Stagg EUB welcome their sibling: Warwick RockBass Streamer fretless. Original wires replaced with La Bella flatwounds. Now I shall work on my fingerspacing, as the "fret"board is a lot shorter than those of the uprights. 3 Quote
Rolf Posted March 18, 2024 Posted March 18, 2024 Two can't really be considered a collection, but I'm working on it! 12 Quote
PainInTheBass Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 (edited) Warwick Rockbass Streamer with SS frets, Delano quad coil pickups, East custom blending preamp. Edited January 21 by russ.c Verbosity 2 Quote
WinterMute Posted May 2, 2024 Posted May 2, 2024 I had an 87 5 string thumb, it's posted elsewhere on this thread, I sold it in the early 2010's when I foolishly thought I'd not be playing bass anymore... I'v finally got round to replacing it with this beauty courtesy of our very own Cosmo Valdemar. A 1996 Thumb 5 NT with MEC rather than EMG electrics. Reminded me of why I played it's older cousin for over 20 years, what a fine instrument it is. 4 Quote
bassbora Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 Do Thumbs not usually come with black hardware? Is this a custom option or has it been changed out? My two '89 Thumbs both have black hardware. Quote

My two '89 Thumbs both have black hardware. Expand It wasn't a 'standard' for Warwick to have hardware in any particular finish back in the late 80's early 90's. I've seen gold coloured hardware (knerbs and bridges) as often as I've seen black. The only other finish was titanium (dull nickel coloured) which was introduced on the Dolphin iirc. 1 Quote
WinterMute Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 Gold was an option, still is as far as I know, my 87 had gold hardware, I kind of like that this one does too. 1 Quote
Chris2112 Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 I'll have to do a proper thread for this soon, my recently acquired 2009 Dolphin Pro-I. I've wanted one of these since I was about 15, when I was first getting on Talkbass and seeing all the lovely boutique basses that were at the height of their popularity at the time. I've owned a few Warwicks over the years and played even more and this one is an absolute 10/10. More gushing praise will follow when I give it a full write-up. 6 Quote

Risk101 Posted May 21, 2024 Posted May 21, 2024 I think your collection needs a couple of 5ers !!! 2 Quote

mike f Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 (edited) 1997 Pro-M with an East preamp. Purchased this Saturday just gone. Colour is Almond Sunburst. After over a decade I finally return to owning a Warwick and bloody hell I’ve missed them. Edited June 25, 2024 by mike f 9 Quote
Risk101 Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 That looks lovely and a deceptively simple set up. Ive just had to replace 2 machine heads on my 2006 Dirty Blonde as the mechanisms sheared. Couldn’t have it happen a 3rd time so replaced all 5! Great that so many original parts are available! Quote
mike f Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 @Risk101 thanks. Not a finish I would normally go for but it’s growing on me quickly. There are a lot of sounds in there, and I like the look of the single pickup, and I’m keeping the blend right down the middle. Playing-wise it’s a dream and I couldn’t leave the shop without it. It was one of those occasions when you just find the right one. Quote
simondee Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 Hey Warwick pals. On a similar note to the above I have a flame maple red 4 string 1997 Streamer Pro-M that needs a new home. What's the rough value on one of these you reckon? Quote

Expand The last three I was following roughly sold for between 650 and 850, that's in the last 4 month. I'd be interested if a black, white or green one was available. Quote

Bassist on the Run Posted August 24, 2024 Posted August 24, 2024 My first thumb. I am extremely happy with it and now looking out for the 5 string of this. That colour is gorgeous if I do say so myself 4 Quote
basso navo Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 Hi @Bassist on the run, where did you get those inspiring green strings? Who makes them? Quote
mike f Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 97 Streamer Pro-M, that’s mine above. I’m after recommendations for a new preamp as I think there is something better sounding than the East preamp that’s in it. Any suggestions? Aguilar? Quote
