These older Streamers really aren't heavy, I don't know the weight of this particular bass, but there is no massive difference between my Roadworn Jazz and the Warwick.
Well I worked 3 jobs as a early 20 something to afford my first which was an '88 Stage 2 4 string, If we're talking Stage 2 Streamers then I have owned 5 4 strings, 4 from '88 1 from '89, and 4 5 strings, earliest being a 1990 and the oldest being a 2005, I don't like the 5 string version very much, especially not after playing the 4's they just don't have the focus or tightness or sound of the 4 strings, I don't really know why, the attack just isn't there for me, the 1990 had a wonderful old EMG circuit in it with super hot EMG jazz pickups that was the best of the fivers.
I had a red stained and heavily laqcured Stage 2 from '88 that was really really nice, I didn't think i'd like the glossy neck but it was fun, but the difference between the natural Afzelia Streamers is very small, the main difference on this one is I don't have any sharp edges on the frets on this one, I had a couple where the frets had got sharp on the edges and they had to be rolled off, but this one is great, I got John to dress the frets on this bass so there was no issues.
And I'm really going to miss this one and I honestly think it will be my last, I'm finally knuckling down and doing a lot of schooling on my bass this year, proper theory stuff, and my "school" bass is the Fender Jazz, John has worked miracles on the Jazz bass and got the action so low and the bass singing so well that I don't like swapping between the Jazz and the Warwick, the extra 4 frets of the Warwick confuse me sometimes as i'm getting used to running out of notes to play at the 20th fret
Thanks,
