Warwick Streamer LX6 1997 with Simms LEDs

I am definitely selling my trusty Warwick Streamer LX6 with Simms side LEDs. I have owned this bass from new (1997) and it has travelled far and wide with me, in fact all around the world. It is in absolutely beautiful condition with just a few dings that can only been seen if you really look for them. Honestly, it is in amazing condition for a 13 year old bass. This bass just sits in a case since I bought my Yamaha basses which have become my main live and recording basses. This is therefore, unfortunately, surplus to requirements. The only thing that you might want to change is that it has my name on the 24 fret but I have spoken to Simms directly and they can replace it with anything at all at a not significant cost - around £100.00. The bass comes with the Warwick gig bag and trust rod adjuster. It was set up by my tech about 4 months ago as I was thinking of selling it then and decided against it at the last minute, so the bass is set-up beautifully. I think that is all for now except price, so how does this sound -

£900.00

The bass has a Wenge neck and board, a flamed maple body (green tinted), it's a 34" scale length and has the Just-a-Nut 1 brass bridge with gold hardware. It is currently strung with LaBella Super Steps and plays like a dream with that beautiful, full Warwick tone. The string spacing is 16.5mm and hence why I don't use it anymore. I prefer the Yamaha 19mm string spacing.

I will get some proper photos done tomorrow but in the mean time, here are some pictures of it in my hands at a rehearsal and on a video shoot.

Thanks for your time and please feel free to contact me with any questions. If you want to try it, then not a problem, I live in Cardiff. If you decide you want it, then I would prefer you pick it up please but depending on location, I might travel to meet or deliver. Thanks again and take care.

Cheers,

Matt

OK, as promised, I have added a load of pictures for you that show what a wonderful bass this is. I have tried to capture the LEDs and they seem to have come out all right. If you have any questions, please PM me and I will do all I can to help. Hopefully speak to someone soon and give this bass the home it deserves :) Take care.

Cheers,

Matt

Are you sure you want to sell that Matt?

Hi Brendan, I know what you mean sir :) With regards this bass, yes I do. I have been weighing it up for the past 8 months to be honest but I just don't use this bass and rather than it just being sat there, I would rather it went to a home where it would be played and enjoyed as much as I used to love playing it. It is too good a bass to be just sat there and I know I am not going to use it again. A pity, but reality. Anyway, want it? It's very lovely :rolleyes: Speak soon and take care.

Cheers,

Matt

Would anybody be interested in possible trades? I am looking for a great quality 7 string guitar (Ooops sorry!) and I would also be up for trading this with a Dingwall 6 string bass plus cash adjustment on my part or an Apple G5, Powermac etc. Thought I would put it out there :)

I own an identical one of these in nirvana black. I sold it, regretted it straight away and when the chance came to buy it back I snapped it up. Nothing else had quite the punch or woodiness, even other Warwicks. A superb bass, even from top to bottom. Highly recommended.

It is a wonderful bass and for years it has been my mainstay. Like you, I have tried many other Warwick's and nothing compared to the sound of this. I have been through Corvettes, Thumb B.O. & NTs, Stage I and yet nothing beat this LX. I will be sad to see it go but for sentimental reasons and that is not enough reason, for me, to keep it. Thanks the post and recommendation to all who read this. Take care.

Cheers,

Matt

OK, this is the deal. I have found something I really want and therefore, prepared to let this go for an incredibly ridiculous price. How does £900.00 sound to you. This retails for well over £1600.00 and this bass I have is the original with Simms side LEDs. Do me and yourselves a favour and grab a bargain now. Go on, you know you want to :)

In other words - BUMP for a lovely Saturday :)

Come on folks, grab a bargain while you can. Only £900.00 for all of this. It's a steal....... Please don't make me put it on Evil Bay. This bass has to go and it needs a new home now. Please help it :rolleyes:

I'm sure this is a stunning bass, I think you've just got an unlucky combination of 6 strings, it being bright green and having your name on the inlay in the neck. All of those things affect the interest in a 2nd hand bass very heavily. If I were in the market for a 6er again (recently moved to 5 from 6) this'd be very tempted, the colour and inlay would put me off though.

Thank you for your comments and input, appreciated :rolleyes:

I agree with the inlay bit for sure. Not sure how the colour would really matter and yes, 6 strings are not to everyone's taste but eitehr way this is a stunning instrument. I am going to get the inlay changed next month and then sell it again. In the mean time, any mods reading this, could you delete this thread please as the bass is now withdrawn from sale. Thanks :)
