maldy Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I'm selling my Streamer $$ natural finish, 4 string, right handed bass, gold hardware. The bass was made in Germany and is the higher spec bass (it is not a rockbass). The bass is in [b]perfect condition[/b], was bought from new and has literally been used a handful of times. Local viewing is welcomed (West Wales), although if this is not possible I can provide as many photos as required. I can also do a video call via FaceTime, or Skype if that helps. I have previously sold two basses via ebay (a Warwick Corvette Fretless Standard and a Fender Precision). Both purchasers were extremely pleased with the basses, the accuracy of the listing information, delivery and overall service. My eBay profile and feedback is here: [url="http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=AllFeedback&userid=maldybass&iid=-1&de=off&interval=0&items=50"]http://feedback.ebay...rval=0&items=50[/url] The suggested retail price from warwick is £1949.00 and this can be found on their website: [url="http://www.warwick.de/media/prices/Warwick_Instr_UK.pdf"]http://www.warwick.d...ck_Instr_UK.pdf[/url] [b][u]I'm willing to sell for £949 ono.[/u][/b] Will also ship and can discuss shipping costs depending on location. The bass specs from the Warwick site: [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?cl=EN&katID=14445&linkID=41053"]http://www.warwick.d...45&linkID=41053[/url] [b][u]Exact Specifications of Bass[/u][/b] · German made bass (not the cheaper lower spec rockbass) · Bolt-on · 4 string · right-handed bass · US Swamp Ash body with Ekanga veneer layer between back and top (sandwich construction) · Maple neck with Ekanga veneer stripes · Wenge fingerboard · Scale length: 34" (long scale) · 24 frets · Passive MEC MM-style humbuckers · Active MEC 2-way electronics · Two 3-way mini-switches for separate configuration of the humbuckers (serial / parallel / single-coil) · Natural Oil Finish · Warwick tuners · 2-piece Warwick bridge · Warwick security locks · Gold hardware · Just-A-Nut III Brass · Weight: 3.8 kg (approx) · Warwick Black Label strings: 4-string: 045" - 105" (40200M) · Including Warwick "User Kit" · Including RockBag® [b][u]More details from the warwick website:[/u][/b] The Streamer $$ has the right sound for every situation. Two MEC MM-Style pickups with open pole pieces can make straight drive, but, if required, offers the right sound for slaps and funk - made possible by the ingenious circuitry. Both pickups can be switched in serial, parallel or single coil independently of each other, and the MEC 2-band electronic permits even further effective conditioning of the signal. The body is made of US Swamp Ash, and is ergonomically perfectly shaped, as one would expect from a Streamer. The neck is made of Maple with a fingerboard of Wenge and has 24 frets.

[/quote] Thank you! :-) I'm constantly struggling about whether to sell this bass. It really is beautiful. However, I've just bought a Stingray Classic and can't justify owning five basses! My Warwick Thumb bass has too many sentiments attached to it and the limited edition corvette hot rod is something special. So that leaves the Streamer $$. Hmmmmmm. It really is a great bass and has a fantastic curved body. Also the sound possibilities are endless and I'm very guilty for not exploring them all.

Ashwood1985 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Fully endorse this bass as a model. I have an '08 Streamer $$ 5 which [b]plays beautifully[/b] and has [b]tonal options galor[/b] thanks to the switchable wiring of each pup, the EQ and the blend. As a personal preference I swapped out the MEC pre with an OP-3 as I prefer the frequencies of the OP-3 and wanted control of my mids on the bass itself but otherwise it's perfect for me along side my thumb and jazz with flats. Anyone considering the buy: take it from a fellow owner - [b]it's a corker![/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the look, but can see how it may not be for everyone. [/quote] Yeah I did actually have that sole reservation before buying myself as I was in two minds about the look. But love or hate it: it's simply the only way to get that range of pup configs available on one bass - which for a workhorse is ideal for those who need to cover different styles.

maldy Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just to restate that this is bass is pretty much in perfect condition and is like new. I have literally gigged with this bass once (back in 2007!). Video footage of the $$ in action can be seen on youtube below (not my finest of playing though!): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEEJkBAOMZQ&list=UUk-09QQhrWXTvNGtAHem2CA&index=9&feature=plcp"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEEJkBAOMZQ&list=UUk-09QQhrWXTvNGtAHem2CA&index=9&feature=plcp[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
