FS/FT: ’97 Warwick Streamer Stage II
$1700 Shipped CONUS
SOLD!!!
Up for sale or trade is the flagship of the Warwick line, the SSII, that I’ve owned for about 3 years. I’ve never played a bass that was of better quality than this one (and that includes basses made by Roscoe, MTD, Modulus, Sadowsky, and other high-end builders). This is a gem from the good ‘ol days of Warwick, when basses were made by hand. It has the far superior, highly sought after wenge neck and brass nut. The neck, though not as slim as a Jazz, is considerably slimmer than many of the newer Warwicks. It is in no way a “baseball bat neck.” In a way, I really hate to see this go but it just doesn’t fit my needs in terms of tone anymore so it doesn’t get much play time. I’d rather get rid of it so that I can afford to buy some other basses on my GAS list that I will use.
This thing is capable of very low action w/ no buzzing. Except for a small ding on the end of the headstock (see pic below) it’s nearly perfect. It has EMG pickups and an Aguilar OBP-1, which is a great combination.
This bass has a very unique tone that’s extremely difficult to describe. It has a thick midrange that cuts through beautifully but isn’t nearly as nasal or harsh as a Warwick Thumb. It can be fairly smooth but can also be very aggressive. The greatest part about the tone is the very sweet upper register that sounds incredible for soloing.
Only trades considered are listed below.
Sorry, no hardshell case. This will be shipped in a nicely padded Warwick Rockbag, which is in good shape but does have a couple of tears in it. The bass will be well-packed for shipping.

I’ll try to get this weighed as soon as I can. This bass is heavier than most 4-strings due to the dense woods.
