Hey guys! I just wanted to put up a new post because fellow talkbass member calogne is correct.
I bought this bass 2 weeks ago and he pm'd me because he said he bought the EXACT same bass from the seller and he returned it because he had issues with the truss rod. IT had a frozen truss rod. I received the bass, It felt great, played great, its pretty much my bass I always wanted. I sold a 5 string ss2 to purchase this one. THIS is the sound I want out of a bass. I just got an opportunity to buy a vintage streamer stage 2 which is why I am putting this up for sale.
To address the truss rod issue. When I received the bass I didnt even think of it because warwicks always had awesome necks and zero problems with me. I checked the truss rod once calogne told me about it and why he returned it.
It was pretty on there pretty hard. Very hard to tighten and loosen.
I took it to a local luthier to get it checked out and set up because this bass had it all! Weight, feel, and sound. I did not want to return it because I dont want to pay full price of a new streamer stage 2 ($4800)
Well my tech took the bass in for a couple days and said there is zero issues with the bass. In fact he had it sit in a temp controlled room and got the neck to be straight as an arrow without using the truss rod to put a bow or relief on it.
He oilded the rod a bit so it turns smoothly. I made a video of it to show you guys (full disclaimer) that there is nothing wrong with the truss rod!
This is an awesome bass, when I first got it in it came in a little under 9lbs. I put tons of wax on it and now it tips over a 9.4lbs. Maybe its the d-tuner, plus new strings (warwick emp), layers of wax that added the weight? Or just an inaccurate scale. But it is by far the lightest streamer stage 2 I've owned.
The bass will ship in a brand new rockbag. I have all the case cady, user kit folder, tools, wax, polishing cloth, and unfilled warranty card.
Price: $2300.00 shipped
