    Streamer STD (Sexually Transmited Disease?!!!) Only jestin'! You deserve a clap for that! Yes never thought of the P bass sound, good call. The neck is what all my mates love, if I'm playing 6 string one of em will always choose to jump on this as its so quick to play, even though I hear people hating warwick necks, still it's all bout what feels right to you. In the market for a 5 string now so have to sell to fund, otherwise would hold on. Looking at the masterman 5 on bassdirect, or the spector rebop on this forum....mmm which one?

    Got someone interested, but in case things don't work out, whatchagot? This is supposed to go towards funding a 5 string. So could put this in with some cash if a 5'er is available. [quote name='mojobass' post='637449' date='Oct 26 2009, 10:29 PM']interested in trades??[/quote]

    Thanks warwickhunter, Just looked at the nut closely and compared it to my corvette 5. you're right there is a plastic piece missing from edge of nut. Not noticed it before. The G string retains in groove very securley still and the justanut system functions fine, intonation and tuning never been a problem. Any experienced warwick owners out there to help identify what the edge plastic thing does (sorry for ignorance). I had a fortress years ago that had a brass nut, don't remember any extra edge "bits". I'll take this baby off for sale in the mean time. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='636301' date='Oct 25 2009, 05:24 PM']They are grub screw adjusters for the nut (i.e. you can raise, lower or tilt the nut according to taste), however the camera angle/shadow does seem to show that part of the nut nearest the G string has chipped/cracked off, Yes/No? <edit> DOH! Too slow with the reply, already answered. [/quote]

    Hi no worries, it's the retaining holes for alen key adjustment for the nut height. Warwick adjustanut system, very useful for setting up the guitar. cheers, John [quote name='Moos3h' post='636292' date='Oct 25 2009, 05:15 PM']Excuse my ignorance, I've not seen these that much before, but in the shot of the headstock it looks like there should be two retaining screws running down through the nut - but there aren't? Is this correct? Or do they serve some other purpose? Cheers, James[/quote]

    I know I know, alredy had this conversation with "domestic mangement".. would like to keep, but decided on having a complete purge...(of everything bassy) and starting again. See what there is to buy when I know what I've got to spend, as opposed to usual practice of buying, then seeing how much I have to spend. Luckily my band mate owns a guitar shop so won't go short of a guitar or amp in mean time. This forum has reignited severe GAS!...somebody help!

    Yamaha RBX765a 5 string. Functional 5 string active bass, wide-ish neck I find yamaha 5 necks bit wide, good pups and active eq. £150 +pp or collection/deliver within 25 miles north dorset.

    2000 built warwick streamer standard in green stain. Single pup, passive, coil tap. Nice simple functional bass, used over my active 5 string corvette for main gigging bass. Some dings on back from gigging, but can't see from front. "Proper" warwick neck and finger board, not yer eastern rockbass. Please note posts below concerning nut. It doesn't affect the intonation, tuning, set up, etc. As stated common prob, that's not a pob. £190 +pp, or pickup/delivery (within 50 miles of North dorset).

    Having clear out of evertything bassy. Yorkville Eminnence loaded 410 8 ohm cab 500 watt load with HF horn. £150

    OK so this is the last of my clear out. Genz Benz NEOX 400 210 Combo. Still under warranty, will come boxed. It's 425 watts into 4 ohm 2x10 neo cab, so all 425 from one box. Gigged once, sounded great, lots of compliments from our grumpy sound engineer. However, I really want seperate head and cabs again, as I suffer from "stack envy" so got a head now after cab. Anyway after cash, or 4x10 cab with no HF horn, or adjustable HF horn + cash my way. I've promised "domestic management" that this is it, no more buying and selling... ....sorry I mean So £550 cash, or yer cab + dosh. Can deliver up to 50 miles from north dorset, or arrange courier...only ever used parcel force, so may need help on that front. Will accept transfer from bank, or paypal balance too.

    Hi, experienced player, currently playing regulary in functions band around south west, but would like to play also with some original material, possibly writing/collaboration. Play guitar and sing too. Dorset/Somerset/Wiltshire based preferably. Have fun, get creative. Influences Funk, Folk, Jazz, most things that have a good tune! Play electric and upright bass.

    [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='391550' date='Jan 26 2009, 12:29 PM']I’d still tout the discontinued Warwick Std range as the best budget basses out there, and at around £200 for a used 4 string Streamer Std, they’re amazing value IMO. A German built Warwick with the ovangkol neck that gets used on the high end bolt-on Warwicks for £200 – how can you possibly go wrong with that? Mine feels better than a few Thumb BOs I’ve tried, and also better than some FNA Streamers I’ve played as well. Quite weighty though… I’ve also played a few MIM Jazz basses that I thought were fantastic. It’s hit and miss with anything mass produced though, and I think it’s more likely to be ‘miss’ more often than ‘hit’ with cheaply mass produced instruments, but there are gems out there.[/quote] +1 on the old german Streamer std, 1 pup, 1 vol (coil tap), 1 tone pot. I gig this baby over my active corvette at 4 times the price paid (and never needed a back up). Yes I get GAS and drool over gear porn, but I still come back to the simplicity of this guitar. I'm not an expert, but IMHO I believe in getting tone from fingers as much as my knobs (ooh err missus). If you find a bass you love love the bass you're ith, no matter the name on the headstock? Yamaha do great basses for the money. I used a BB614 regularly in one band and that is an amazing guitar, 2nd hand fleabay £150 tops?
