Warwick_Official Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Bassection - Very nice pair! There's nothing quite like a $$, and you've got both a Corvette and a Streamer! Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hello Warwick fans! I have been forced down the short-scale route thanks to a wrist injury and have been playing with a Gretch (fine but.. meh) and an Ibanez Mikro (fine noise but feels like a toy) so was looking at the Warwick Corvette short-scale. I can't seem to find any in UK to play with, so wondering whether to just punt and ship from overseas... and obviously wondered if anyone here has any experience with the short-scale model and any thoughts to pass on? Also wondering if massive jump between passive and active. As always, any and all thoughts very welcomed! Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwick_Official Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thats a great pair, ordep! A Streamer would certainly compliment the Thumb and Corvette wonderfully. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 hopefully maybe I'll be adding a JD thumb to my collection soon, fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDrill Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Here's my '89 Streamer Ltd Edition. Bought it brand new. Stock preamp & Bartolini pup replaced with a John East preamp & a basslines pup. [attachment=125438:2012-12-18_17-51-55_232.jpg] I also have an old warhorse '90 Thumb NT which is my 'go to' bass, the finish is lovingly kept in tip top condition with spilled Guiness and sweat and all being well on Sunday I should have another Warwick added to the collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) That looks like one of my old basses... Birds Eye Maple matches with my old pic of it. [s]However, I'm 99% certain that the pup isn't original; both because I remember the guy bought it off me talked of changing the pup and/or pre as it seemed to be lacking something, added to which the basses when released in '89 had the sealed Bartolini pup sans exposed pole pieces. Not that it matters a jot as they are fabulous basses! [/s] <edit> Ooops edited as I'd misread what you said... you've clearly actually said that it has a replacement pup!

DrDrill Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Bought it in Sound Control in Glasgow. It was either this or a Spector that was for sale in The Guitar Store and the Warwick won on the day. The Bartolini was a bit too 'civilised' for my tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass that I had must have been consecutively numbered with yours as the markings of the birds eye maple look almost identical; on very close scrutiny they are different but not far off!

DrDrill Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) OOOOOH Mine is No 035. There was a guy on Talkbass from Finland (Mika) who had one as well. I also noticed the Ltd Ed has appeared on the Warwick website, but, it says the fingerboard is wenge, my certificate says it's ebony so it looks like even Warwick can't remember what they've made.....too many mushrooms in the '80s methinks Edited December 18, 2012 by DrDrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Mika and I compared notes on our basses some years back and I don't think either of us had seen more than a couple of them over the many years we'd looked; in fact he'd been aware of my two 89 LE basses before I even registered on TB.

DarkHeart Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Some gorgeous Warwicks in this thread unfortunately ive never been able to afford a real one so was kinda hoping you`d allow me to put my `05 Rockbass Streamer on here as its got Warwick written on it so it sort of qualifies [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/SNV80316_zpse393f184.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassulike66 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 May as well join in the fun.... 1993 Natural oil...(note the distinct lack of wenge stringers, Warwick built a limited run of these for some reason). 1991 Metallic purple - ex hire bass, that's why it has the Warwick logo strewn across the back!

Gigged them both loads and the streamer is showing it now so my main bass is the one in the middle :-) Edited December 25, 2012 by sambucadan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
