Can I ask you guys an honest question? I put my Korean Streamer Stage 1 up for sale. Its an amazing bass which I upgraded with a brass Warwick bridge. I had to switch all the hardware over to gold then and went with Wilkenson Hipshot copies. Price of bass, price if bridge, consecions had to be made. They are very solid tuners. I have hipshots on other basses I just didnt have a gold set.
I dont understand why I haven't gotten a single hit on this bass. Not even a question. They are built really well. It sounds incredible. I've owned a lot of Warwicks over the years and this one is every bit a top of the line Warwick. What gives? I think my pricing is good. I literally dont know what I'm missing here. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Is it really a Warwick ? The headstock looks weird.
Agree with the others here, lose the photo that shows the funny looking headstock and then do a close-up of the headstock so folks can see what this actually is… because it comes off looking like not real, the tuners look funny in that picture as well. If you've done some type of cleanup like AI cleanup, either reverse it or do another photo that shows the real deal.
Some brutal feedback here, in my opinion, artsy photos are not nearly as good as straight on detailed photos with full front and full back and then zoom in for close-up of front and back of body and front and back of headstock.
If I'm looking to buy a bass and I have to zoom the photos to see what it actually is and zooming in on artsy photos at different angles I'm not interested at all. Because that tells me something is likely being hidden, for to the artsy photo angles. I've never done the artsy photos.
For what it's worth (not much) I've never had a bass sit for a long period of time to sell here on TB or reverb.

Yeah. Its real. Pictures a bit weird I guess. I had to get rid of some stuff in the picture.
Nice looking bass, It's weird what the camera did to the headstock on the full body image. I was wondering what this symbol was.
Yeah. I was just using the camera editor to get rid of some stuff in the picture. It got weird I guess.
Ok. Pictures updated in the ad. Thanks everyone. I hadn't noticed that nor did I notice the little AI thing. I guess Samsungs editor is now AI driven... like everything else.
I honestly wasn't going for artsy. It just that window has the best light for bass pictures. I was cleaning up some stuff around the bass that I couldn't crop out.
Trying to find an infinity 4 string but theyre kind of all over the place.
Side questions:
why are the 5 strings cheaper?
Does wood vs black plastic on the back cavity covers signify masterbuilt?
I was hoping to buy the 2009 on Reverb but the seller wont meet me at 3k shipped and wont sell it off here or the gear page to negate his fees. Anyone else see one FS stateside?

4 strings Infinity are even rarer than the 5, hence the price.
Wood cavities appeared on Masterbuilt series after 2013. Before that, all Wicks had the same plastic cover.
If I were you, I'd take some time to find a bass outside of the "bad" years (between 2000 and 2012 roughly). You don't want to replace all hardware on a 3K+ instrument and you could get a much better wenge necked model.
