Yup! Bride & groom books a reggae band...father of bride is insistent we play a Status Quo number ....hmmm Sweet Caroline Riddim 😂

I like it...but not the pink. Pink is the reason I sold the Flea Jazz. If it sounds good and they do one in silver...well it could be bass re-shuffle version 134.9

I think some quality witty, dry humour bass comedy t-shirts with BC logos could do well. Several years on and I still have my Talkbass ‘We don’t want any treble’ t-shirt.

Hi B/Cers - need help/advice, I did email Warwick direct a few weeks ago but had no response. I bought a 4 string Warwick Streamer GPS stage 1 a few months back and I am looking for a suitable D-tuner (Hipshot Xtender) for the E string. The Hipshot GB7 that i had recently bought from here doesn't seem to work (lever catches on the G tuner), so I wondered if anyone could advise if there was an alternative D tuner model, or if anyone knows if Warwick provides a suitable D tuner solution? I have googled but to no avail.

😂😂😂

Thanks for the replies guys - the humorous ones too 😏, plenty of food for thought there. Despite historically being a strong jazz bass man (all my fav's play jazzes), i am leaning towards keeping the P...bit of a late P convert if I'm honest. That said I like the idea of perhaps selling both and getting a P with a rosewood neck. Have to say though I'm quite smitten with the Warwick Streamer S1 at the moment. I have also got a Vander End which is my modding bass (has had lots of mods before my time), and is currently set up as a PJ but it can easily be set back to a jazz if I need a jazz option....I guess I should have mentioned about that in my original post, that one has a maple neck too - it feels like it's been somehow relegated that bass but it's such a great bass and again probably not going to sell that one. Yep, I think in reading and reflecting upon your replies above and typing this up I've made up my mind to sell the Jazz and put the P up for sale or trade for another P with a rosewood neck. Thanks chaps...I think I've got there but will still sleep on it. Incidentally I did say to the wife they may not sell for a while 😆

Help, i simply can't make my mind up. The honeymoon period is over with my Warwick Streamer S1 I acquired last month. I've decided that one is a keeper for now, I love it, sits great in a rock covers band I'm playing with. Wife has now caught up on the accounts and reminded me that I said I would sell a bass upon the purchase of said Streamer. So which one to go of the residual stock - tough decision: I have a Stingray, barely use it but i like it's looks (Blue) and if i haven't got a Stingray i always want one, probably best this one remains plus it is well beaten so probably worth more to keep than sell. It's going to have to be between my sunburst Fender J or Sunburst P then, but which one to go??? First up: Fender J, My Pro's Highly rated post 2012 model (2015) with the 60's PU's, rosewood neck, versatile, not too heavy. Con's don't like the raised pole pieces on the PU's, super clean so fear of scratching it. Probably worth around £875 ish i reckon Second up: Fender P 2008 model, Pro's Simple to use being a P, good bass for the occasional deps i do with my old functions band (50's, 60's music), has a Lollar pick up upgrade. Con's Maple board (prefer rosewood) Prob worth around £800 ish i reckon Which one to sacrifice to the sales guillotine ...help!

Cheers. The neck is quite nice, chunky around the 12th if i'm picky but overall pretty shallow. Not sure on sizes but the nut end looks just slightly bigger than a jazz but as i say shallow depth. According to a Warwick serial dater, and to my surprise, it says it was born in Dec 2017...newer than i thought. Yup, one of these https://shop.warwick.de/en/Instruments/E+-+Basses/Warwick+Teambuilt/GPS+Streamer/GPS+Streamer+Stage+I/Warwick+Teambuilt+Pro+Series+Streamer+Stage+I+4-String+-+Natural+Transparent+Satin

Well, since completing the holy trinity bass collection of Jazz, Precision & Stingray that trinity may now have to be broken as i decide which one to sacrifice for my new addition. I've carefully negotiated with Mrs Raslee to keep hold of what I've got right now whilst I work through the honeymoon period - maybe she'll forget ahem!. I have always liked Warwick basses, they just feel right, perfect adjustments and always a quality build. However, I was never overly keen on that phallic top horn on the Corvette styles I previously owned. I vowed one day I'll try the Streamer and today was that day. The stars aligned in space, the sun shined on my wallet, Bootsy was on the one, Trump had his mouth closed and my wife was seemingly on good acid (or at least she must have been on something to have supported the purchase) - and better still Mansons in Exeter had a used Streamer Stage 1 and a LX both in natural (preference). So after engineering the trip to Exeter rather than another fricken National Trust jaunt i plugged the yummies in, also tired a Manson bass too whilst the wife and little ones went off shopping. The LX as expected had a lot more growl, dare I say harsh compared to the S1. I decided right away a no on the Mansons bass...nice but pricey and the tone sounded a bit thin to my ears. Then I tried the Streamer S1 and I was really taken by the versatility of tone on tap, further still it felt astonishingly lovely to play and was a nice weight too, not really owned many neck throughs before either. Both the LX and S1 were nice but the S1 was the clear winner to my ears ....so I text the wife to tell her 'I love her'. I have not researched the build year yet but if feels probably mid 00's or later. Played for the last 3 hours and I'm kicking myself why have i never played one of these beauts before...right now I love it.....of course it could be the honeymoon period...but it is good, very good...in fact I'll end this NBD here....

After many bass changes, GAS, high & low, 5ers etc etc I've come to the conclusion I must stick to the 'holy trinity' of Jazz , Precision and Stingray....no matter what it all comes back to this for me. I hanker after the other if the trinity is incomplete, i divert to others basses too but keep coming back...I've managed to remain with the holy trinity for 4 weeks...it's like rehab

Put an Aguilar pickup in my Stingray recently, absolutely love it. Kept that Stingray tone but with a better balance, perhaps slightly less highs & lows but lovely across all strings. Well done on your purchase - I prefer the Rosewood necks than the maple I have.

Just sold a bass body to Ovi. A great Basschatter all round, absolutely no problems here. Deal with confidence as they say.
