Hi, yes I'm 99% sure the colour is called French Violet in a high gloss finish. It is a more subtle violet colour and darker looking than the other examples of French Violet Warwick basses found online (mainly because of the dark flaming on the maple). Cheers

Ha That Corvette looks a beaut!

[color=#434649][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Hi, I'm selling this beautiful instrument as it is not seeing enough use and I could do with the cash. It is in mint condition (except the strings are a little old). It comes with brown hard case (VGC) and 'case candy' that was included when the instrument was purchased. The cost brand new is approximately £650 and I'm looking for £400. No trade offers please.

Hi, the condition is superb - the neck is completely straight. The bass was manufactured in 1999 (serial number A-057651-99) and has spent the vast majority of its life hanging on the wall! The Bass weighs 9.15lbs

The bass is still for sale

Thanks for your post Grangur! I'll be sad to see it go as it's such a beautiful instrument! Hope you're reunited with your Streamer again soon! Had a couple of tempting trade offers but I'm afraid I really need cash for this Bass.

Yes it's possible to get a really low action. I already have the truss rod adjusted so the neck is close to flat. Also, the Nut is adjustable unlike a lot of other basses. Adjusting the nut so it is as low as you can get it (without the open strings vibrating against the frets) feels great if you like a low action How should I measure the neck?

Hi all, beautiful Warwick Streamer for sale for £850. I'm selling as I've had it for about 10 years and hardly ever pick it up. It's a great instrument but I love playing my Fender P more. I'm based in Brighton if anyone would like to try it out. It's currently set up with 40-100 DR HI beams and a low action. Please note that I'm looking for a sale at the moment so no trade offers thanks.
