[quote name='spaz91' post='695689' date='Dec 29 2009, 04:19 PM']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?[/quote]

Its a very different wood to what you would associate as pine... I would liken it more to 'softer hardwoods' such as popular/tulip wood. 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.

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:

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.

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!

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:
