To the Warwick experts. Please help to identify the bass

[koshey]

Def a rock bass, so as long as it's priced like one...if you like it, go for it. Unless you wanted MIG, or they are trying to pass it off as one.

Nah..when were talking about warwicks- only Germany then)

I think, I'll Pass.

Das finde ich nicht im Ordnung. Könnte sein, dass den Bass von dieser Person gestohlen wurde.

Did they sand something off above the serial number?

Yes they did. It used to say "made in China". That's a Rockbass.

If the OP can handle the Warwick ergonomics, and sadly I could not, they are GREAT basses.

Sad(
I can) fits my beer belly perfect.
I already own the perfect streamer from the late 90th
Just have thought to try out NT Modell. But I definitely don't want a Rockbass.

 

[bigjames]

I agree with consensus...looks like a Rockbass model with RB sanded off.

Sie Sind richtig mein guter Herr.
That can be!
I've already have lost 600 Eur on this platform with some unfair ********

Is the bridge misplaced or am I imagining it?
It doesn't look centered and there's a lot of room on the fretboard after the G string compared to the B string... I'm not sure it's the angle of the picture...

I own a 4 string fretless version of that bass. As others have said, it is indeed a Rockbass and they sanded off the serial number and where it used to say "Made in China". Just because it is not a MIG Warwick is no reason to disregard it. My Rockbass is my favorite fretless and that's comparing it to a MIG Corvette and a Really nice Bunny Brunel Carvin.

Hey my dudes,

recently I've noticed a Streamer 5 NT for the affordable price..
I was not able to figure out is it a Rockbass, or i'm just lucky.

What are your thoughts?

if you go to the Framus/Warwick site, you can run the run the serial number which will verify what it is

No offence my friend!
It's just not for me, but it doesn't mean, that it's bad!

I guess it is just badly adjusted

I was not able to find it out there=)

Then that would give me pause if the serial number doesn't show up. I'm assuming you got to the Famus site?

thanks.
as u can see, the part of the S/N is destroyed.

But I guess, we've already came to conclusion, that this is RB

You can't do that without the first character. On German Warwicks it's a single letter, on Rockbasses it's RB. Even that is not foolproof because the online search only extends to a certain date (2000 or something like that). You can't even begin with this bass since the first character has been sanded off.

Rock bass and they have tried to hide that it was MIC and scraped the rock bass off the truss rod too. Steer clear.

 

[Klangfarbe]

It's a Rockbass. Thomann has them in stock in around 2-3 weeks.

Not to get this off track but what is the difference between Rockbass and the other builds?

Offshore vs German built

Why not post a Warwick question in the Warwick forum?
