FS/FT Warwick Streamer LX 5 string broadneck

bassmahn · #1 01-31-2010, 12:59 PM

SOLD!!!

Bass was made in 2000, specs are:

Ovangkol neck
Wenge fretboard
Solid flame maple body
34" scale
20mm string spacing and roughly 10 lbs in weight.

Bass is in excellent condition with some very minor player wear due to the satin finish.

Pickups and electronics have been upgraded to Bartolini 2 years ago. (Quad coils and a 3 band pre with switchable mids)

Hardshell case will be included with sale in addition to truss rod wrench, allen wrenches for bridge adjustment, and shaller strap locks.

My reason for selling it? Since I got my Roscoe SKB, it just sits in it's case... the only time I take it out is to maintain it, oil the fretboard, check the action etc... This is a good bass that deserves to be played.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or additional pictures.

I would like to get 1500 for it. I did have trade considerations listed previously, but all in all, I'm using the sale of this bass to fund a fretless order which I hope to place in the near future... So I would prefer a straight sale only.

Thanks for looking!

Gotta chip in here, Bassmahn is a good friend (and a heck of a bassist), and a stand-up guy. Doesn't hurt that I do FOH for his band, either...

This bass is in excellent shape, and has had a very anal-retentive owner. It's been treated like a child, and with the Barts installed just cuts through a mix like a warm knife through butter.

A bump for my dream bass.

I sure hope I can get my hands on a Boradneck Streamer (maybe a Broadneck Thumb) when I have the funds.

Could you post a few more pix?

Who did the electronics upgrade?

Thanks,
Bill

I had the pickups and electronics installed by a local luthier, Dave Rusan.. He did that, and he filed the B string slot on the bridge, so I could use non taper core stings. Originally it was the Bart pickups with an Aguilar 3 band... I didn't like the sound of the obp-3 , so I ended up putting the Bart pre in myself.

I am still looking to get my first warwick so forgive me if I sound ignorant here. But where does it rate on the famous warwick growl? It seems like the bass would sound very bright if its a solid maple body? Just curious.

With the combination of the brass nut, brass frets and maple body the bass is very bright.. The warwick growl is still there, but a bit subdued compared to 'wicks with solid bubinga bodies...

If you want to hear what it sounds like check out http://www.myspace.com/gracepointmusic

All of the tracks were recorded with the Warwick.

Any interest in a Zon RT5-K plus a little cash?

bassmahn · #12 02-28-2010, 03:45 PM

If it was a 35" scale I'd jump on it.
Thanks for the offer and the interest.

Hey everyone - bump for an incredible bass. Owned one of these a year or so ago. Was a little heavy but everything about the bass was incredible! This one looks better than mine too!
