UK Ken Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Here we have for sale my 1990 Warwick Streamer Stage II NT4 FL. I bought this bass from the original owner who custom ordered it new from Warwick. I collected the bass during a driving holiday to Germany, and after went to the W factory for a tour where HPW signed the bass before we left. When I returned home I emailed them and HPW replied with: Bass Streamer Stage II 4 string Serial Number C 489 90 Year 1990 Month March Number 489 Neck Wood Wenge Wood with Afzelia Strips Fingerboard Ebony Wood Frets Fretless Nut Just a Nut Brass Version Neck construction NeckThrough hiddenneck construction Body 3 pcs. solid Afzelia Wood Surface Oil Finish / BeeWax Pickups 2 pcs. passive Bartolini JJ Pickups Electronic 2 Band MEC Electronic Hardware Gold Hardware by Warwick with Schaller M4 Machinheads Made in Germany / Pretzfeld /WestGermany) The bass is in excellent condition, apart from fading on some of the hardware, so near mint. Included is a Warwick heavy duty flight case or W gigbag, and strap locks. £2000 GBP collected, or worldwide shipping at buyers expense. No Trades. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Absolutely beautiful bass, a dream bass for me and one I would love to play and own. Sadly, zero funds available. GLWTS. Edited July 19, 2022 by Linus27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as hard as you might think, if you have a good ear and half decent technique then its a walk in the park and not really that different to a fretted bass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Ken Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 I've been asked for a few more photos including the neck and headstock, so I'll post up here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Gorgeous SSII! The figuring on the Afzelia is beautiful. Very unusual to have HPW sig on the headstock. I'm guessing this must have been a custom bass Edit - helps if I read the listing first! 🤦♂️ Edited July 22, 2022 by dyerseve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Ken Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I've been asked again for some more photos to include the electronic/battery compartments and the trusrod area. The electronics are all original and work as expected. The trussrod moves in both directions and the fretboard is set-up nearly flat with low-ish action.

UK Ken Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 I've been asked what the string spacing is @ the bridge and if the spacing can be adjusted. At the moment the string spacing is 18mm @ the bridge, and can easily be adjusted between 18-20mm. The spacing can also be adjusted more +/- by raising the saddles. I found a new set of Roto Jazz strings in my kit bag so installed them today, plays like butter 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I have visited Ken (a gent and credit to Basschat) and played this bass, it's a gorgeous fretless made by Warwick when there was something rather special about the basses of this era. I probably would be getting funds together for it if I wasn't hankering for an early dolphin fretless so much. Glwts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Ken Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Finally some well needed sunshine and spring cleaning. The SSII has just had a good waxing and lemon oil the neck and fretboard, with a new set of strings she looks and plays a treat 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Ken Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 I’ve been asked if the bass has an active/passive pre-amp. I should have clarified this in the original post. Yes the bass is active/passive, by lifting the volume pot you bypass the active pre-amp putting it into passive mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Ken Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 This beautiful instrument can be delivered to you in a orange Warwick heavy duty flightcase inside a cardboard box, or for £100 less could be delivered in a Warwick gigbag inside the cardboard box. Alternatively I can meet you at a reasonable distance or further for petrol money. Otherwise you can come down for a cup of tea and collect.
