[quote name='gafbass02' post='173043' date='Apr 9 2008, 12:56 PM']My girlfriend (now wife) bought me a subscripion for my birthday once which was just the best present ever as we were very poor, real hand to mouth stuff, and when my 1st subscription issue came it was the last ever one, never been so gutted in my life! Then of course it moved back to guitarist with lots of promises and even angry letters fom guitarits saying 'we dont want them in our mag!' and withing about three months lo and behold the bass content was down to pretty much zilch! Happy memories though, and like i say i still read em to this day.[/quote] Finally found lx4 serial no it was where everyone said just very,very faint or maybe i need glasses .when we moved house the heaviest thing was my collection of bass mags.THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP EVERYONE.Oh by the way the lx4 is a 1997

Here are the boys.....Overwater 6 string deluxe lined fretless. Overwater 5 string custom Jazz Warwick streamer lx4 Wolf custom bass.. Built by Joe Gormal..Scotland based Luthier. Hope you like.....Cheers haimesy

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='172553' date='Apr 8 2008, 07:54 PM']'Normally' Warwick serial numbers give a letter (the month it was made A = Jan B = Feb but no use of the letter I) then the serial number (can't recall exactly if this is the number of that model bass made that year) then lastly a pair of digits for the year. Ltd Ed & CS basses differ slightly but the end digits are always the year. Try a quick search through the warwick.de forum and you might uncover the info there. I've only ever owned a couple of the BO basses and TBH I can't recall where the number was but I do know that they guy who bought my Streamer Pro M fretless is local and I need to see him sometime soon, so I'll check out his bass.[/quote] Thanks again.....J

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='172018' date='Apr 8 2008, 08:59 AM']I have a '97 LX VI. [b]LX's;[/b] They're all made from 2 pieces of Maple (soft, as opposed to the hard stuff used in necks) They're available in all the usual oil stain colours Warwick killed the model of for a while, but they've recently been re-introduced. The original production run had Wenge necks and fretboards. The newer run has an Ovangkol neck and Wenge fretboard. They all have MEC pick-ups (save for the VI) and MEC 2 band EQ (Bass/Treble, Volume (passive pull-up pot), Pan) The pick-ups vary by number of strings- generally P&J for IVs, J-J for Vs, and Soapbars for the VIs. The Sixers seem to come with Duncan or Bartolini pickups, as MEC didn't make anything that'd fit during the original production period. The Streamer has (and has had) many incarnations, including; The Streamer LX The Streamer Pro "M" The Streamer Jazzman The Streamer Stage 1 The Streamer Stage 2 The Streamer $$ For more info, hit; [url="http://www.warwick.de"]warwick.de[/url] Like all mines of information, you may need to do a little digging! Hope this helps! Alex.[/quote] Thanks for all the info guys..There is nothing on the back of the headstock at all .Any other suggestions.I paid just over £400 but it is a bit scruffy.Wenge neck/f/board i think.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='171726' date='Apr 7 2008, 08:19 PM']Hi, i have a Streamer LX5, but a JJ model. If you look for the serial number, normally on the back of the head stock, the last 2 numbers are the year of manufacture. I can't really help much more than that except say that there really really nice basses and can take one hell of a beating. -Jake[/quote] thanks Jake i will have a look.Any idea what they cost ?
