Details

For sale is my 2002 Warwick Streamer Stage II 5 string.

This bass is not 100%. The truss rod is maxed out and the nut is pretty stripped. It is playable, however the neck is warped. There are no buzzing frets. The truss rod has also been replaced by the previous owner. Cosmetically, there are nicks and scratches, and you can tell the fretboard has been removed (for the truss rod repair). This bass has been played! ** ALL SALES ARE FINAL **

HOWEVER, it still sounds 100% like a Warwick Streamer Stage II !

I have been playing it for several years despite its issues, because this bass sounds SOOOO good. Despite the neck problems, it was my primary gigging and recording bass, but I stopped taking it out when I decided to sell.

My local luthier went over the bass completely to get it in the best shape possible.

Here are the specs, which you probably already know:

7 piece Afzelia and Ovangkol neck - neck-through construction.
Afzelia body
Active MEC J/J pickups
MEC preamp - volume (with push/pull for active/passive), blend, bass, treble, mid controls
24 frets
Curved body
Natural oil finish
Currently strung with Rotosound 66s

Let me know if there are any specific picture requests.

$1350. Buyer pays actual shipping (probably about $90). Google Wallet or PayPal.
Please make offers via PM.

Just a couple questions. Is the truss rod maxed and stripped after the repair? Was it simply a poor install job or was that what was fixed when the board was removed? Also, scale, spacing, and maybe a few pics showing the evidence of the repairs.

The truss rod is maxed and stripped after the repair. I was told that the replacement truss rod was a different size than it actually was. By the time we figured it out, it was too late.

34" scale, 16.5mm spacing (it's completely stock other than the truss rod). I'll get some pics later.

Sorry for the delays... I had a super busy weekend. I know I owe some pics, and I'll try to get them up tonight.

So it's pretty much gonna need a new truss rod?

Yep.

I stated in the original posting that the neck is warped. This was my opinion, and original reason for bringing it to my luthier. However, he didn't think it was warped. I'm keeping it in there to be on the safe side, though.

Here's where the fingerboard was removed for the truss rod replacement:

Just a Thought, but couldn't you replace the Stripped Truss Rod Nut? There are tools for extracting stripped nuts.

I could, but I'm trying to raise funds for a new bass, so I'm not looking to put any more money into it.

I appreciate the offer Vince, but I'm not comfortable dealing with someone who isn't established in the TB community in this case.

And on that note... I have a recording session in a month. I definitely want to use this bass for the session, so until then, I'll only be looking for cash and trade offers for 6-string basses of any make (especially Warwicks) or 5-string Warwicks. I'll widen my trade considerations after then.
