The first one is based on a Streamer. Very nice basses. Got one floating about in the collection. Looks like it's had the electronics modded, which isn't a bad thing as they were originally passive. If you like jazz type necks, they are great.
The second bass is bases on a Corvette. Not played one of these, so not sure about them. If you can pick either of them up for not much more than the current prices (£100?) you'll have a decent bargain.

Hope this helps a little.

Check here... [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/product_list.php?rndtop&list=17056&katID=17057&cl=EN"]http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/pro...17057&cl=EN[/url]

There is a drop down menu at the top for the rest of the Warwick range and to get an idea of price I'd just stick the model name in Google (selecting UK search) and one of the first few sites will generally be prices from the likes of GAK, Dolhin music, Bass Centre etc. that'll give you an idea of new prices so that you don't get carried away on eBay. :)

The Corvette looks very nice

If you were after the Streamer variant it's worth looking for the Warwick Streamer Standard bolt-on, they go for around £200 and are German made. Same electrics and brodge as the Rockbass but with the Ovangkol neck and Wenge fingerboard. Here's one:

One recently sold on here for less than £200 and there was one on eBay for just over that amount
