Sold to nonfatmatt!!!

In cleaning out my 5vers, here is another. This is NOT a RockBass, but a Made in Germany Streamer. She's in excellent shape. This one also has the coil selector switch built in (pull up on the volume knob). Comes with the original Warwick gig bag (very nice) and owners kit (I can't find the manual or wax, but everthing else is there including the truss tool, allen wrenches, warranty card, etc). I'll let her go for just $479. I have seen many sell on Evil Bay for more $ in worse shape without the Warwick bag or owners kit. One of the lightest Warwick 5ers around at about 9 lbs (most are 10 - 14 lbs)!!!

Thanks.

Hard to say because right now I have an old set very low tension strings on her (I was going for a mellower tone and easy playability). For as low tension as they are, the B is not bad. If you are TRULY interested in the B tightness, I could put a new set on her and see if the B gets even tighter with higher tension strings (which I truly believe it will).

Is it active or passive?

Passive w a coil switch, but there is plenty of room in the control cav for a pre-amp and 9v if you decide you want to add one down the road...
