    FS - Warwick Streamer Pro-M 5-string

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by dmz

    Up for sale is my delicious Warwick Streamer Pro-M 5-string fretted bass. Bought second hand from the United States in 2007 (Rocket Music). Excellent condition - flamed natural maple body with bolt-on wenge neck and wenge fingerboard. Gold hardware with straplocks.

    The neck is one of the most scrumptious I have ever played - have sat with basses that cost 5 times what I'm asking for this and have walked away unimpressed. Can't get over how good this one it - absolutely storming.

    34 inch scale, string spacing is 17mm at the bridge, nut width - 44.5mm, weight 9lbs

    Single MEC Musicman style pickup but very versatile - you can pan between the coils. Bass boost/cut, Treble boost/cut.

    Will supply in a gig bag and ship in a sturdy carton.

    Looking for £650 plus shipping - no trades please - funds are for work on the house <_<

    If you are nearby - more than welcome to have a play.....

    Based in South Wales - not far from J27 on M4.

    FS - 95 Warwick Thumb 6-String Bolt-on Custom Body (Walnut) - SOLD

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by dmz

    Up for grabs is a rather unique 6-string bolt-on Warwick Thumb fretted bass. I bought this from littleal a few years back.

    It has a smaller than standard one piece walnut body so it looks like a broad necked bass but it isn't.

    Plays like absolute butter - the neck is wenge with an ebony fingerboard.

    Notes leap of the fingerboard - powerful and distinct.

    Only selling as I need some funds for work to be done on our house - bummer.....

    There are a few videos of it in action here -

    No trades please !

    '66 'Slab' Precision Build

    in Build Diaries

    Posted · Edited by dmz

    Great looking build - have fancied making one of those for a few years now - funnily enough contacted Edenhaus about the slab body last month. I fancy something approaching Bob Daisleys slab (when he had it) - Birdseye maple neck with Birdseye maple cap.

    Do you know anyone that does a single ply tort pickguard - It's just a look that appeals at present.

    Was also giving thought about a maple body to go with the maple neck - just to be different !

    Pickup wise I was thinking about a Wizard - I'm sure yer man is familiar with the legend. Maybe he could cook up something !

    With my 50th approaching next year I am also making plans for an 63 Fiesta Red rosewood board project.

    May ask you to be a consultant !

    Have fun with the rest of your project.

    Too iconic ?

    ......well, got a reply from Edenhaus....they can do a slab apparently.....less contouring for them to do I guess.

    So - £92 or so with no paint/finish or £350 or thereabouts for olympic white with a nitrocellulose finish.

    Btw - found this on a quick trawl of the net......

    Shame about the decal :rolleyes:

    Harris's bass may have been custom made - the Fender Japan SH model came with the regular body.

    I note Fender Japan Aerodyne P-basses are slab bodied however - maybe a project there for someone !

    Otherwise, looks like you'd need to contact Mr Bravewood or John Shuker (or the like).

    I've sent off an e-mail to Edenhaus in the US to see if they could make one - they are an outfit like Warmouth - they have a 25% off sale at the moment. An Olympic White P-bass body (post 57) with nitrocellulose finish works out at £367 using their website. Will let you know if they can do a slab......
