warwickhunt Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) [url="http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k455/mart206/Warwickhunt%20Streamers/DSC05690.jpg"]http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k455/ma...rs/DSC05690.jpg[/url] I hope this link works as I'm having trouble with uploading at the moment but basically I have a selection of basses available for trade; x1 fretless Streamer 86 (natural), [s]x1 fretted Streamer 87 (natural)[/s],[s] x1 fretted Streamer 91 (see-thru red high gloss)[/s] and a [s]Fender P bass (for sale on the forum already) with added J pup[/s]. I'm after a downsized and LIGHT weight Precision or Jazz 'style' bass; Sadowsky or similar. I'm obviously not looking to trade all 4 for a bass but cash either way can be worked out if one floats your boat. I can email pics easier than upload them at the minute but I will try and sort that out asap; full details on each bass (pup manufacture etc.) to follow.

warwickhunt Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I should add that I'm only interested in fretted 4 string basses and that a Sterling would also be a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Think I bought a bass from you some years ago - a nice sister fretted streamer to the ones shown. Played the fretless in the picture and at the time you had a Fortress with that massive weighted bridge as well as a Thumb. You like your Warwicks! Anyway good seller - highly recommended.

Did you have an Ampeg combo at the time? In fact whilst moving house recently I found a pic of the bass that you may have bought, do you still have it; IIRC it had a bit of flame to it for an early Streamer.

Sorry perhaps you're right - time flies > Did you have an Ampeg combo at the time? Actually a Randall combo > In fact whilst moving house recently I found a pic of the bass that you may have bought, do you still have it? Yes I do and it gets an annual airing at a local music school show I do. It gets admiring glances and the odd "how much do you want for it?" > it had a bit of flame to it for an early Streamer.

warwickhunt Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Not the 'actual' bass that I had in my mind but certainly one of mine and I do remember... not that many people using Randall combos. Always nice to know where some of my old basses are. I've always thought those 87-89 'transition' basses that have the Wenge/Maple as opposed to Maple/Wenge necks with the 2 piece bridge as opposed to the 1 piece are some of the best basses Warwick built. There was always a subtle changing of the contouring over the years and if they'd retained the very earliest uber-slim bodies/necks with that neck/bridge set up then that would be my ultimate 'Custom' Warwick bass! So who else wants to be another satisfied Warwick owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Naturally, I have to be the knob'ead that says he likes the Infinity . Someone should attempt a PX for the 86 and 87, would be horrible to split them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also by the time I factor in buying the other parts it might start to get pricey and have a very limited resale value if it doesn't suit my needs... at least a factory Sado or similar will be worth what I paid for it if I decided to sell it on. I do like your train of thought though Owain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm just thinking of the local second-hand market for a Dinky P (i.e. me ). But yeah, it can get a little pricey. I've just priced up a Dinky P body in swamp ash including a 3TS finish, and it's $475, and a Warmoth neck (with satin nitro finish) would be another $315, so you're already over £500 without shipping, VAT or duty... or hardware! Still, cheaper than a Sadowsky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 There will be PM's in the morning! The fretted cherry Streamer is a bit of a "holy grail" bass, but I've been through 3 Wicks and sold them all on in the past 5 years so I'd given up on them. My Favourite was a 2000 Stage I with EMG's so I'm guessing it would be a good move. I've got some thinking to do..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
