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

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!
