It's a 2006 model. Ovangkol body, neck, with wenge fretboard. Neck may be thick to some or just right. I personally like it. It has an Aggie OBP-3 pre with EMG jx pick ups. I had to shorten the pickups a little bit to get them to fit. The casings are scuffed up, but work absolutely fine. If anything, it provides sort of a grip when you rest your thumb on them. It doesn't hurt the playability or sound at all. Also replaced the Warwick tuners with Hipshot Lic. Ultralites. I also replaced the JAN 3 with a brass one from Warwick. The push/pull active passive isn't present as it got replaced with the 3 band eq. It was this way when I purchased it. The pics provided with circles are the blemishes I found. They are all light surface blemishes and I had to look really hard in the light to find them. The picture with the fretboard by the nut looks like a crack, but it doesn't seem to be cracked. I can't say for sure, but I think it's fine. It doesn't shift, move, or affect playability.

Now for my interest in trades. I'm looking for a Streamer 5 LX. I will not entertain any other offers as that's what I'm wanting specifically. So please don't ask with something else as I will not reply. I will keep this if needed or until the right offer can be made. Depending on the circumstances, will depend on if it ships with a gig bag or a case. Thanks for looking.

I love it. It's a good bass. But I need something more versatile. When it sounds good with something, it slays. When it doesn't, not so much.

Yeah, it kind of is a one trick pony. I think of it as a thumb (which isn't really all that versatile in stock form) on steroids. I'd say it's great for metal. I wanted to combine Warwick and Spector when I did the pick up and preamp swap.
