Warwick Streamer Stage II

[Shpadoinkle]

SO

i'm driving myself crazy trying to decide weither or not to drop 4,000 + dollars on a stage II

i know its a fantastic bass but, is it worth that giant dollar sign?

 

[millsbass5]

$4,000.00=ALOT!!All that matters?Is it worth it to you??

 

[chris lykins]

great bass but wait for a used one. they go for at least half that

If it is what you want, then do it.

 

[J. Crawford]

You could get a used Fodera for that much..


I say buy one used. Trujo77 has one for sale right now.

I see. How old are you?

20

there are always some on the used market, there will be another one. But, IMO they are worth every penny of the new price, if you can afford it.

What kind of job do you have/can you get*

I agree.

At 20, are you:
in college?
working?
financially sound?
not in debt?
buying diapers?

If any of those, a SSII isnt your best friend right now.

Get one, for sure. But buy used. Let someone else who is older and richer than you take the depreciation hit.

i am in college (community college) and working for a friends landscaping company that does lawns, and installs those like little foot stepping stones from say the driveway to your door, basically making the outsides of your property looking all pretty and such haha

i am not in debt nor a father, haha
hopefully at the time my funds get to me, there will a person trying to get rid of theirs...except, who would want to :/ haha

It happens. Im not saying most people want to, but this economy leaves some of us less lucky than others..

If you're 20, just wait. 20:1 odds you want the Streamer because someone famous has one. I've got news for ya: the bass needs to fit YOU not them and if you're running a cheap amp, it won't matter what you use.

 

[Mr_Dave]

They are an awesome bass - do you want a 4 or 5?

i'm not related to the seller in anyway, just remembered it was there...

Don't rush. There are some on the used market now and there will be a few in the fall. Add to that a couple of the big retailers and niche market retailers also give great offers on new Warwick's.

Cheers.

I have a Streamer Stage 2 & paid $4000 Australian(bought new with a big discount) & dont regret it for a second.It's the one bass I'll never sell.I went from a Thumb NT & while that's also a great instrument,the stage 2 is lighter,better balanced,more comfy & alot more versatile tone wise.If you like that Dirk Lance/Pnut tone,this is the best bass to deliver it.The only improvment I can think of would if the stock model had a matched headstock & side LED's at no extra charge.4 grand sounds like alot for some folks for a single bass,but rememebr that you get what you pay for & bass is a pretty cheap hobby compared to say custom cars,tattoos & narcotics.Long after price is forgotten,quality remains.Buy it before your mortgage,babies & bills wont allow it.
