warwickhunt Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Lovely and I'd have it at the drop of a hat if it weren't for the small matter of money! Saying that I could sell the Marcus Miller... and the 70's NT Ric copy... or the Hamer Cruise 5... possibly even the NS WAV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkusWarwick Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Seriously seriously considering this right now.......an 87 is my dream........should i make it reality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassulike66 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I always find in these moments to discuss it with the wife, just to try and get some sensible reasoning and to justify why i need to buy it.................NOT!!!! Just buy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandro Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Cool. Except for the angled tuners, one like mine. Although I use my other Warwick more, I adore the cut, feel, weight of that old 87. Think I'll pull it out tonight... :-) Bump on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecowboy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Absolutely lovely, all 4 of my 88's and 87's have been amazing instruments. This will disappear quick at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 No doubt a stunning bass. My Ltd Edition 1990 Streamer continues to redefine my expections of a fretted bass. It is just superb. I have no doubt this will be similarly excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
