lukeward2004 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi Guys, Played a gig on thursday night with the natalie band, showing off some new material from the 2nd album - what a shocker it turned out to be! We played so badly by our standards, I was having a bad night, as was the guitarist who started a solo in the wrong key!!! Anyway, the other bands where so unbelievably crap we managed to look half decent in comparison - only the headline band where decent, the other acts where quite shocking and sounded like they had gone to argos and bought thier gear along with a "how to play guitar in 10 mins" book prior to going on stage. It was also the first time I had gigged my nice new Warwick Streamer Stage One, traded with BassBod (who happens to be a top fella) for my custom Preicion bass that I never played. The warwick is loaded with EMG's and the Aguilar 2 band circuit, and it sounded immense thru a tiny SWR cube amp (not sure what model). Filled the relatively small room and im going to have lots of fun with this baby! Here's some pics - the look on my face is classic!: The pics dont really show off the bass, ill sort some out that do it justice soon. It has a lovely flamed body and the neck is sublime!

Sibob Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 You played badly because you're playing a Warwick whilst wearing a Fender tshirt! Classic mistake! What year is the Streamer? Looks real similar to my sisters! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeward2004 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ok, ive taken myself outside and given myself a good talking to, and the Warwick is no longer jealous. Its sitting happily alongside my Streamer LX5 and two 4 string Jazz Basses, and a fretless Ibanez Gary Willis 5. I believe this particular Streamer Stage 1 is a 2000 model, and it is in great condition - came with a hard "soft" case, a tin of wax, truss rod adjuster and a brass nut to replace the plastic just-a-nut that came fitted. Im in love with this bass now, it plays like a dream and sounds fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Nice bass. Not a Warwick fan, but I could find house space for that one. Natalie's a bit of a fox too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Glad you like it! How about the Jbitsa... BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi mate, Loving the Streamer, and the JBitsa has seen little play but those plastic flats are great! I was thumping out Aretha Franklin's "think" the other day and the jazz strung with those plastic flatwounds suit it so well! TO be honest, ive neglected all my other basses except maybe my Streamer LX since I got the Stage One, its such a great instrument - its got so many sounds and the pre amp is powerful, and I think ive found the sound I like most out of it. Its amazed me how very different the four string Stage One is to the 5 string version (which ive previously owned) - its a totally different beast!
