Warwick Streamer Stage II

[Swamp_Ronin]

Hi!

So I’ve had this Warwick SSII for a long time. It’s a 2001 model. Great bass. I bought it around the time when all the rock guys were playing one. I’ve noticed that it doesn’t get much play anymore- the Jazz and Jaguar get all the attention these days. I’ve thought about selling the Streamer, but it could be something I regret, because they don’t make these anymore.They seem to be pretty out of style now. Would you sit on it or keep it?

I wanted an SSII 4 string bad a couple of years ago but they were pretty expensive new and used. I bought (and sold) a bolt on German LX but it was not the same. If I didn't need the money I would keep it unless I was dead sure I would never want another one. There are very few for sale so I am sure you could get good money for it if you did sell. Is it a 4 or 5?

It’s a 5. There are almost none for sale. I don’t need the money, but I figured I could put it toward something that would serve me better.

Eventually you will regret selling it money comes and goes, but you will never get that bass back

As someone who sold one, don’t do it. They are special basses and they are just too perfect. Who cares if they are in or out of style?

 

[Swamp_Ronin]

It’s not so much about fashion- but I think another bass might serve me better these days. Why do you regret selling it?

 

[Mikey F]

Because I’m dumb. I sold a Dolphin too

I don't know, is it really that great if you don't ever want to play it?
They're beautiful, well made basses but, if it doesn't float your boat sell it and get something that does.
If it's on your mind you obviously think you want something different.

What did you end up doing?
I’m in between keeping or selling my 01 ss2 or Spector ns pulse in cinder red

Keep it unless you actually do not like it. They are some cool basses, IMHO.

Very proud to say I still have it. I’ve really grown to re-appreciate what this instrument can do. It has always always gotten compliments from the other people in the band. I’m so glad I didn’t sell it. Lesson: JUST PLAY THE BASS YOU HAVE. Don’t let internet browsing trick you into letting go of an old friend.

Not want to surprise you... But that is not a Stage 2.

I got my SS2 for next to nothing 13 years ago, when they were totally out of fashion and everybody wanted vintage Fenders. It's incredible and I'm not selling it, ever. There's a 5-string SS2 for sale here in Norway now, but I think I'll save up and wait for a Thumb.

Pics or it didn’t happen! Congrats on copping a classic.

Here it is, with my blonde Thumb. It's a 1987, with DiMarzio Model Js and a Hipshot D-tuner.

These are amazing! I’m sure those model J’s sound great. I left mine stock. I think the mec’s sound pretty good

If you don't need the money, put it in the wall and buy something else.
