  1. Hi Ken. How are you doing? We've chatted on the Warwick forum before. Yes, I just can't believe either how little interest I've had in this either. Somebody told me it was because it was collection only, but I've sold stuff really quickly in the past with same conditions.
  2. @woody1957 You're absolutely right on both accounts, though I've hardly had any interested buyers for this bass and (on ebay) some insultingly low price offers. To the point where if it doesn't shift within another week I've decided I'm just going to keep it and make sure I play more 5 string!!!
  3. Warwick Streamer LX 5 string bass guitar German Teambuilt GPS. Made in Germany 2020. Used but in mint condition. Has only had light use for some recording, no gigging. Selling because I rarely need a 5-string, I'm much more at home on a 4-string and now need to 'thin the herd' to make space and funds, after a recent purchase! Bought brand new from Andertons just less than 2 years ago for £1800. Very few in the UK, but where these are retailing, new price is now from £2100 to £2200, so this is a chance to get a mint German made LX5 for a good fair price. The bass is in mint condition. Action is good, truss rod works absolutely fine and the neck has no issues. Build quality what you would expect from Warwick and the fretwork is amongst the best I have seen on a bass. Lovely woods: US Cherry body with nice grain - satin finish, Ovangkol neck, with Wenge fingerboard. 2 gold MEC active J pickups with MEC 2-way EQ and push pull volume pot gives EQ bypass (not passive) as the pickups are always active. Very clear punchy sound with no noise or hum. Comes with original padded Rockbag and user kit, hang tags, certificate of authenticity, all tools, straplocks, plus a wide Warwick branded strap. There's also a fretboard protector in the gig bag too - they think of everything! Very neat and tidy electronics compartment with easy access cover. Weight of bass 4.25kg / 9.5lbs. PRICE/DELIVERY OPTIONS: £970 COLLECTION - From North Yorkshire (either Knaresborough or Dishforth - whichever suits best). OR LOCAL DELIVERY - If necessary I am prepared to delivery locally for free (30 miles max distance) - please message me beforehand. £1,000 48HR UK COURIER - The bass will be sent snug and secure in it's sturdy, padded Rockbag, within a strong double-skinned parcel box packed tight with card bracing and brown paper padding. Happy to answer any questions, or provide any more specific photos etc. Please just either reply here or PM me!

  5. Not only that, but the back is also less curved on the latest design streamers, or at least it is for the examples I've got. My 97 LX4 and 99 LX4, have very pronounced curved back. My 2020 Teambuilt LX5 has a flatter (yet still curved) back. Can't show photos just at the moment, but can if anybody's interested
  6. Papa's Got a Brand New Bag - James Brown
  7. That one was really good. The guy is a legend. The Jonny Marr one was really interesting too - he's very articulate about explaining music.
  8. After the thrill is gone - The Eagles (again)
  9. Trying to rack my brans, but unfortunately I'm more the other way, where I end up hating bands that I once loved Oasis and Coldplay being the main ones in this regard...
  10. There was a good one with Mark King. That bloke can talk
  11. Is it really a 'crutch'. They were factory fitted on the majority of basses from the 50s to the 70s. Removing them was making something different. They allowed you to play fingerstyle with that almost upright bass kind of sound. You can't palm mute and play with fingers at the same time. James Jamerson's sound was all about playing with fingers on flatwound strings muted by the factory foam glued to underside of bridge cover. Whilst I confess that my own personal favourite muted style I play is with palm muting, playing with a pick, soloing the neck pickup, the foam mute is a iconic sound, not a crutch If you're talking about the scrunchie type mute that people use at the nut end, that again is a godsend for players who like to tap at the dusty end, as it kills all those nasty overtones at the lower neck end, that even the best left hand muting can't always cure. My take is that with bass playing, everything is valid. Different strokes for different folks. 😊
