  1. [quote name='throwoff' timestamp='1347973064' post='1807397'] I am really confused by this reply, it is not a Warwick bass in that only half of it (the body) is what left the factory. Being a NT then surely there is still a considerable piece of Wenge in the middle of the body below the new set neck? Secondly if this is a 1990 then the neck originally fitted would of been mostly maple which makes a replacement seem slightly pointless, yes it had Wenge stripes but the tonal difference that makes is really subjective, they are more for strength and looks than anything else. You say you have never touched a streamer stage I ? What about this one, before you decided it was awful and got all the work done? There is no such bass a Streamer Stage, the Stage part is either Stage I or Stage II indicating different woods. And sorry going back to earlier, 5A ebony? Never heard of Ebony being graded like that, the A grades refer to figuring, so you have 4 A flame maple, 2A burl etc etc. Luke it cannot be a RockBass as the body is concaved, the Rockbasses are flat bodies. Black HW was available back then but standard was Gold. Good luck with the sale but 3,700 is a steep ask when factory fresh Warwicks (which lets be honest here are what most people who like Warwick would want) go for around 1,000 second hand [/quote] Yes the Wenge lines still inside of body, you cant just take them off as you know. The point of the neck replacement is the woods and the shape, It was not re-shapeable. I did not say that I have never touched a Streamer Stage I, read carefully! what i mean as -never touched one- is factory standart. About ebony , I just tried to say it is the best quality one. The standart Hardware painted to black to make it aged. If you can find a streamer with this specs a tag of £1000, buy then! ta
  2. [quote name='mart' timestamp='1347966961' post='1807215'] Er, can I check if I've understood your description right: when you say it's a Warwick bass, you mean the body wings and the hardware are made by Warwick? But the finish, neck, fretboard, frets, pups and preamp are all replacements. And do you really mean the construction is "set-neck", not neck-through? So the luthier cut off the old neck, leaving the body part of it in place? [/quote] I think the most important thing about a bass is its wood, as the wood pieces of this insturment :the body is Warwick and the neck is hand-made. This is a Warwick Streamer Stage with amazing specs. If you want to buy a Streamer Stage I (never touched one) this is not for you and they are crap IMHO. The construction is set-neck, the luthier cut off the neck and carved it to make a set neck construction and the new neck has an asymetric shape just like a Michael Tobias insturment. The nut is not original, its changed due to neck and fboard replacement, old nut was wenge and the new one is brass, I think its better and Warwick has started to putting brass nuts on Streamer 1-2 after this series. You can check it on Warwick official web site. feel free to ask any questions. ta here is a video to hear: [URL=http://tinypic.com/r/350wl6x/6]View My Video[/URL]
  3. yes, i used to have one, just like this but maple board , guys this is a ton master for sure! good luck with the sale!
  4. History of this bass: i have bought it in 2007, played for couple of months but it was not the bass i want, then i have decided to turn it on to more wooden sounding and tone monster. step 1: the original 5pcs neck was loser, 2 pcs wenge in the neck and a wenge fretboard wasnt the best chioce for it. Basically the maple body has a compressed sound, for sure, so the best neck for this bass has to be 3pcs maple asymetric neck with a 5A west african (gabon) ebony board and the construcyion is set-neck. A world class luthier made it for me, hes not well known here in UK. Old frets were not so punchy and now your touch is punchy! Step 2: I wasnt happy with -the only own character- barts and the 2 band MEC preamp. Delano pups and preamp is just Awesome!! now it gives the woods growl, hot, organic and piano tone. Step 3: A very talented artist and the same luthier made the aged finish and the airbrush on it.

    SOLD.

    I think you should took the neck and put some tiny wood under it to get the action low and you wouldnt had to break the originality of wood. I have had a 77 JB and fitted badass like this without an issue. this one is good lookin jazz bass though! Good luck with the sale
