[quote name='Dubs' post='830447' date='May 7 2010, 10:37 AM']I'm scared that I won't be able to leave the SSII with you!! Cheers for the offer, something I'd deffo be up for at some point. They look so impressive.[/quote] Haha well you may be in luck i'm just waiting for a French guy to send me the money for the Stage II, then it will sadly be gone! Can't believe i'd ever sell it, but i am, I'll cry with my Dinger.

1988 Warwick Streamer Stage II 4 string
spacecowboy replied to spacecowboy's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='andy b' post='829003' date='May 5 2010, 09:29 PM']just to say I have Bens streamer fretless, and I can personally recommend this bass having played it - in fact I want it TBH but I already own a SII from the Warwickhunts family reserve . ....furthermore as Jim quite rightly said Ben is a pleasure to deal with ![/quote] Thank you Andy! I hope the fretless is still performing well!!! Just a bump to say this may or may not be off to France today but in case any one was just thinking about it, now is the time to strike! -
Well you're not exactly many miles away! Gimmie a shout if you want to pop round and give it a go at some point!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='829767' date='May 6 2010, 04:23 PM']SC this is frickin awsome.. would love to try a Dingwall...IMO Sheldon really is a pioneer whats the specs, weight, tone etc..anyone know how they compare to the US models? can you give us a bit of a review...oh i do love a good bass guitar review.... much better than Razzle[/quote] Hey Bubinga! The specs are, 2 pc Alder Body 5 pc Maple Neck with Sonokilin Rosewood Board wand Offset Dots Novax Fanned Fret System Medium thin D shape Neck profile Dingwall heavy duty truss-rods Candy Green Urethane Finish Canadian Dingwall FD3-A Pickups EMG BT Preamp and Circuit cant weigh much its half the weight of my Streamer Stage II easilly, i can try and get a weight sorted this weekend as well as much more indepth and glamourous photos! I'll do a review to at somepoint this weekend! Cheers, I compared this bass against the Canadian ABZ, and Canadian Afterburner II, while those two basses where fantastic, i loved the Combustion for A) Being Active and having the layout of Pickup Volume, Pickup Volume, Treble and Bass, this is how i like my basses as its incredibly easy to dial in many different tones, i plan on doing a video playing a few different Jamiroquai songs with this bass to show how versatile it is, the ABZ was a passive bass and the combination of Ash and Maple was a bit too zingy for me and it sounded muted compared to the Combustion, the ABII sounded huge and played beautifully, but for £3000 i would expect so, i felt more comfortable using the Combustion on a daily basis and not keeping it under lock and key!

I really want to try a Dingwall soon too as these are (currently) the only basses that are giving me GAS. Great colour too.[/quote] [quote name='Legion' post='829839' date='May 6 2010, 05:20 PM']Looks like something from the future! awesome[/quote] Cheers guys, its a genuinely fantastic bass, i recommend everyone to try one, for its price *£1200* its one of the best basses in its field, glad people are digging it!

[quote name='purpleblob' post='829306' date='May 6 2010, 08:42 AM']Must admit I'd love to try fanned frets someday.[/quote] Sooner rather than later i hope, there is no learning curve you just find your fingers naturally rest where they should and your second nature in playing will take over and you'll forget them.

[quote name='Floyd Pepper' post='828453' date='May 5 2010, 02:08 PM']Lovely looking bass. Just to say that recently purchased a Stage I from Ben and he is a very decent guy to deal with, so buy with confidence. Have a bump. Jim[/quote] Thanks Jim! Glad to hear your still enjoying that Stage I, never thought i'd sell that one never mind this one too! I must be mad! -

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='827752' date='May 4 2010, 06:46 PM']An '88 SSII is a 'lush' instrument indeed! I've owned a couple and played several more from this period and NONE have been anything less than stunning.[/quote] Well said John, the basses of this era were incredible and this is no exception unforetunately I have moved to 5 string now and wish to just concentrate on getting the most out of my Dingwall. -
After buying my new Dingwall I have completely converted to the Canadians and fear that this is far too nicer and expensive a bass to perhaps become second best and sit redundant. For sale is my Warwick Streamer Stage II from 1988 a fantastic sounding and superbly playable bass, for a 22 year old bass it's in fantastic condition there is however a slight chip on the underside of the bass which is not visible when playing it's about 2mm squared I will take photographs tonight of this as it really is the only damage, the Afzelia is distinctly figured and the wenge neck is beautiful and dark with fantastic examples of the yin yang inlays, I'm sat on the train now so I will have to link to existing pics of it on the net and have these replaced tonight, any questions I will be glad to answer if you require a specific shot just let me know and I'll get it done, you're welcome to try it it's currently in Portsmouth with me, it will come with a Warwick gig bag, tin of very used wax, original straplocks, new set of Warwick bell brass frets that were included with the original sale of the bass and it's strung currently with a set of black beauties. It's an amazing bass and has been my main bass for the past 5 years but my hearts with my Dingwall now and I can't afford to be flashy! £1200 FIRM. no trades. Postage £15 or collected. Cheers, Ben.
