FT (feeler): Elrick Singlecut 5

I figure this'll get more views here than in the Wanted section, so....

I've been having second thoughts about my Elrick, while going through a phase of Warwick Streamer GAS (No thanks to this picture http://tuning.free.fr/bass/streamer/ss15_02.jpg )

So it's only a 'testing the waters' kind of thing right now, but I'd like to see if anyone with a Warwick Streamer would be interested in a trade (or partial trade) for my Elrick Singlecut - previously owned by C-5KO and Jokerjkny



Ash body
Figured walnut top
Maple neck - Macassar Ebony FB
Macassar Ebony Playing Ramp
Neck Through
Bart pickups + NTMB pre (3-way mid, Active/Passive)


Preferably, the Streamer would be a Stage I or II, or one of the older handmade ones. 5 or 6-string only

And again - this is just testing the waters. Gotta keep my impulsive habits in check ya know

 

Yep - thanks Kori

Grooveguru - I was wondering if you were gonna take a peek in here . Your Streamer looks mighty nice, but I know you just got it....it's up to you. The only thing I could think to throw in is a Leather gigbag (from RokSak) that I have

I'm having second thoughts for a couple reasons. Firstly, the singlecut body shape isn't ideal for me. I do like it, and it's very comfy and ergonomic but I play more Rock style music and it doesn't really fit the style (imo). Looks a little too classy and when worn down a bit lower on a strap it just doesn't seem quite right. Maybe it's a little too boutique for me . And I guess the most important is that I'm just not playing it as much. Now that the "new-bass" factor has worn down, I'm playing my Ken Lawrence more and more - it better suits the kind of music that I play. A more aggressive bass sound. The Elrick has a buttery smooth and punchy tone though that's super sweet.

And then there's the GAS factor . For once, I'm gonna go for something that I already know instead of taking a chance with a bass I've never played before. I played a Streamer about a month ago and it just sounded incredible. Plus some of my favorite bass tones are from Streamers, like Incubus and Jamiroquai.


And to keep everyone updated - I'm now only after a Streamer Stage II 5-string. There's a guy from Bassgear.com selling one (for cash) as well as a few people here who have offered cash for the Elrick, so I'm waiting on some e-mails back to see how that all pans out. It would be kinda nice to do just a straight trade though... (*glances towards grooveguru*)

 

Currently Pending Trade

 

I was thinking that too - when I saw you at 999 before

 

eeek. Don't tempt me like that
Even so, I don't really have any money to throw into a trade like that.
