From the other thread:

What you've got is very interesting! This is a Framus Triumph from 1977 or 1978, made during a transitional period after the bankruptcy of the company. It appears to be all original, and although its not one of the oldest Triumph models...it is somewhat rare. In 1982 the retail price was 1690 DM! Very cool!

Okay I am no Warwick expert and retract my earlier posts. If what you say is true, this may very well be the real deal.

BassAgent: I was looking at the newer and more costly Triumphs. Sorry for the confusion I may have caused.

The information I provided came directly from the curator at the Framus Museum in Markneukirchen, Germany...it was, indeed, made after Framus closed from bankruptcy, in a transitional period. Still very cool!

It is number 410 in the custom shop gallery Streamer section.
The standard Streamer Stage I 5 string neck through high polish goes for just over $7500. Then I altered the body wood to bubinga and the custom shop time and import costs,puts it over$9000 right now (insured price).
I have taken it out of the case 4 times,primarily for studio work.
If anybody is interested,inbox me,I'll send you photo's of it as it looks right now.I want between $6800 and $7000 for it,after shipping fees.

Here is a picture I took at NAMM this year, right after Bootsy was presented with his new Warwick StarBass! He was VERY happy!

Hello, Warwick Club! I'm proud to say that I have joined your ranks!

I recently bought a beautiful 1998 Warwick FNA 5. I saw it on Craig's List, and practically stole it at the price I paid. There are a few nicks, and the previous owner removed the strap locks which I recently replaced, but there was nothing wrong with the sound!

This is the nicest bass I have ever owned. The Wengi neck is so sleek and easy to play on. The tone on this bass make me sound better, funky when I want to be and it brings the low end when I need that too!

I will be bringing it to its first gig this Saturday, I can't wait to show it off live!
