martin8708 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Hi there , I am new to Basschat , I am selling my 1987 Warwick Streamer with warwick factory flightcase for £1000. The late 80's Warwicks are considered to be the last of the '' proper '' Warwicks before the EMG Pick-ups were replaced with MEC's and they started making bolt on necks . The bass itself is in excellent condition , minimal wear on the frets and the body is free of marks / scratches . Great tone from the P-J bass pick-up configuration and strings are pretty new as well . Reason for selling is that I play Precisions , well for the last 28 years or so and I bought the Warwick to help with an Audition as I knew the Guitarist loved Warwick's ( very silly , I know ) I also need the money to pay off my credit card bill for the purchase of a Custom Shop 51' Precision ( yup , the Granddaddy of all basses ) I have been playing and collecting guitars for 28 years and I always try to buy the best examples of particular guitars that I can , I will possibly consider a trade if it is Fender and old and interesting . I have had 3 independent valuations from shops , and I and asking below all three valuations . Many thanks for looking . 04/08/10 Photo of serial # added as per request 08/08/10 Hi guys - Warwick now sold .

What is the body wood?[/quote] Production SSI basses were only ever made with Cherry (earliest basses) then later, Maple bodies; changing during the late 80's. I'd say that this bass certainly looks from these pics to be Cherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin8708 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi Guys , thanks for the posative comments , I bought this from a Guitarist who owned both Streamer and Thumb Bass's and it seems to have spent alot of it's time in it's flightcase , hence it's clean condition . I'm not sure of the woods used , but the neck has that unique ''woody '' feel that you will only get on the Warwicks . Cheers , Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Pepper Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 WOW....that is a beauty. Having played Fender for many years, I bought a '91 SS1 from here and I've been truly converted. Have a bump for an excellent bass in superb condition. FP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Pretty sure its Cherry body with Wenge neck. Completely mindblowingly stunning. If it was a left it would already be sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
