jonsparrow91 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm sorely tempted by this, a proper Warwick without the annoying two piece bridge that I can't replace. I'm just unsure about the pine though, I'll do a bit of research and see how they sound. Are any other basses made from the same stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personaly wouldn't be put off by the body wood at this asking price - especially with that neck! A good buy for someone I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.i.stein Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 looks like a bargain, any idea of date of manufacture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have one of these and whilst i preferred my Corvette (active) the necks on these are great, the build quality is also top-notch as it's made in the same factory as all the other Warwicks Carolena is also called Kodiak Pine i think, here's a thread about it: [url="http://forum.warwick.de/17-warwick-rockbasses/10495-carolena-wood-wind-up.html"]http://forum.warwick.de/17-warwick-rockbas...od-wind-up.html[/url] It also says it's called Carolina Pine I found it quite light. Another advantage of these Streamer Standards is that the control cavity is big (standard Warwick size IIRC) so it can accomodate a pre-amp and battery easily if you choose to make it active. If i'd have kept mine i'd have put a pre-amp and pickup in there, there's usually something cheap in the for sale section on here so it needn't cost the earth[/quote] What he said definately MUCH better than the Rockbasses. Corolena body, Ovangkol neck with a wenge FB Im sorry, have no idea on year of manufacture Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsparrow91 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Cheers for the reply but I don't think this is what I'm after. At the moment I have a Jazz V and an ATK, I only need one of them so I'm getting rid of the ATK. It seems like this bass would be just a sideways step. Thanks anyway and enjoy the free bump. If this is still hanging around in a while maybe I'll rethink Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The year of manufacture should be attainable from the serial number. It should start with a letter and end with 2 numbers, these denote the month and year A serial that starts with a B and ends with 99 would be made in February 1999, one that starts with a D and ends with 02 would be made in April 2002 etc. You can do a quick check on the Warwick website: [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/support/serials.php?katID=22701&cl=EN"]http://www.warwickbass.com/modules/support...22701&cl=EN[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I know that my Rockbass Streamer Std isn't worth too much, but this is really putting price pressure on from above if the real German streamer is going for £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
