Hello You All !!! I would just like to put on record that I tonight received a lovely Streamer Stage II that I have just bought from senior Warwickhunt and I am totally satisfied! - (thanks John it's a blindingly good bass ). - I also own a Steamer Stage 1 from 91 and I am in full agreement with the comments made. (p.s. I paid £875 for my S1 over 10 years ago!) I could only deal with John via phone and email due to travel commitments, and I can personally vouch that this man is indeed good to his word. If you are reading this with a consideration to buying the "bluey" my suggestion is[b] just do it [/b][i][/i]- you will be very happy indeed. Anyway, got to go I have a great new bass to play !!! sincere thanks again Andy B [quote name='warwickhunt' post='143352' date='Feb 19 2008, 08:30 PM']A potted history then... all in my own words and from personal experience going back 25 years to when I read about the first one through the 20 years of me actually owning them. TBH even Warwick don't give a whole lot away and you can get a lot of info from the Warwick forum but as with any bass manufacturer hands on experience of as many of a particular bass as possible brings a whole heap of info. At present I'm not sure that you can truly call anything made by Warwick as vintage BUT just as Fender has the pre/post CBS stuff then Warwick has various periods and has made a variety of alterations to their basses. Specifically relating to the Streamer Stage I range; The earliest Streamers had spade headstocks with machineheads as per the Spector that they were 'ahem' borrowing from. These basses were normally Cherrywood with 5 piece necks; 3 thick wenge pieces with 2 thinner lighter stringers (various assumptions on what that wood might be but it would seem prudent to think that they are either Cherry or Maple) and had 1 piece Schaller bridges. After legal wrangles with Spector the headstock shape changed and tuners were angled. In the late 80's (I'm being cagey here because just like Fender there are exceptions to any rule during transition times and customer specification throws up a few oddballs but about 87/88) the Stage Is were fitted with 2 piece bridges at about the same period they phased in Maple bodies and retained the thick wenge stringer necks. Then in about '89/90 they changed to the more familiar maple bodies with predominantly Maple necks with thin wenge stringers. This, give or take small changes in electrics/pups/volute etc is the bass that we have today. However in about '92 production was moved and scaled up and CNC became the norm for Warwick; prior to this the manufacturing of Warwicks was 'much more' hands on and if you pick up a Streamer from pre '92 you'll find that there are subtle differences in the sculpting and dishing of any two basses. After the early 90's Warwicks were finished less and less by hand and I have handled plenty of these basses to know that is not necessarily a good thing. In particular the fingerboard edges are left a lot squarer and are not as pleasing to play (again a comparison to a Fender with a rolled fingerboard edge). In my humble opinion the biggest difference is in the qualities of the woods used. Yes you get a lot of pretty basses from Warwick today but you'd be dismayed at how soft some of these woods are and this does affect tone. This sin't just a Warwick thing I believe a lot of manufacturers are turning to wood that isn't as good a tonewood as timber from 20/30/40 years ago. Now as to which one people want? The earliest basses have a darker woodier tone. The period between 89/92 produced the classic Stage I tone to my ears with the characteristic growl but with a touch more attack than the earliest models. After that period I noticed that it became very hitty-missy as to what you got out of a StageI and a personal dislike for me was the change to 3 band EQ (a bit like the 2 band EQ on a MM Stingray is THE classic Stingray tone but the 3 band sounds good but IMHO not quite the same). I stress these are only my views and obviously highly subjective but please... Discuss [/quote]

Hi There, can you please tell me what the tone shaping controls are? I have looked at the MB website but it only shows the newer model. thanks Andy

Guys how do you PM someone - don't understand - prob being stupid - please enlighten me.....

[quote name='Paul_C' post='76783' date='Oct 19 2007, 11:03 PM']I've got an urge to play a bit of acoustic guitar when I'm not playing bass, so this, while very nice, has to go. Unless you have a nice acoustic to trade, I'll only be looking to sell this time (unless it's for something easy to sell, like a Ricky 4003) P.[/quote] Hi Paul, I have a few questions re the Kubicki. 1. Is it the 18v version (i.e. 2 batteries) 2. Is it a later "Fender Custom Shop" or the ealier model with the oval logo on the back of the headstock. 3. Does it have an ebony fingerboard? 4. Is it White, or Pearl? 5. Does it have a Kubicki case Also would it be Ok to come try it? where abouts in the country do you live?? thanks for the info Andy
