    A local shop has this for sale and it's very sketchy. First of all, the headstock says Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman. Second, the pickup configuration is very odd, there is a jazz and split-p. Third, the price they are asking is only $899 US. Take a look at the pics and give me some opinions. Are there any fake warwicks out there?!
    the serial number is A-090240-02

    Probably someone has replaced the trussrod cover which is where the model name is.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure that's the case, and for $899.00 I'd buy it in a heartbeat :cool:

    The last two digits of the serial number are the year, so it does appear to be an '02. I thought that Warwick stopped using wenge for the necks around '97...

    IMO, the neck-wood looks like regular Ovenkol which Warwick has been using for quite a few years now. At least it doesnt't differ from the necks I've recently seen on Warwicks.

    Not sure when they stopped using it, but mine is a 98' and it has an all wenge neck.

    The RockBass Streamer has two really weird looking thick pickups..
    I think what happened was that it's a regular Streamer and someone put a false thruss rod cover on it.

    It looks 100% like a Streamer LX don't ya think?

    You are 100% correct.

    You can also order the correct truss rod cover
    that says 'Streamer LX'

    Yah, at $899 this is kind of a steal, especially for Canada.
