price dropped – 1983 WARWICK STREAMER STAGE I BASS – SERIAL 103 -3.5 KG

Highlights:

A real gem and a must have for any Warwick enthusiast, this 41 years old Streamer is one of the early “paddle headstock” ones with the original design, before the german company change the look of it after having issues with Stuart Spector. Only the first 300 streamer made came out with the paddle headstock and after the first 150, Warwick added ”licensed by Spector” on the trussrod cover to avoid issues with the American Brand. The serial number on this one is 103, and has a phenomenal neck and weight (3.5kg), making it super comfortable to play and the original EMG pickups have a growl that would make the crowd rattle their teeth.

1976 Fender Precision Bass in Original Natural finish With Original Hard Case

Highlights:

Really nice wood grain for this 1976 Fender Precision Bass.

This 49 years old stunner is very light and makes the perfect player without breaking the bank.

Has been played but it’s still all original and retain the natural factory finish.

Frets were quite worn so it had a professional regret and has no buzz and a nice low action now.

Like most of the natural finished fender from this era , a fair bit of the clear coat peeled but the undercoat and sealant are still intact and in good condition and had some clear poly touch up.

The pickguard retains the original sticker with serial matching the headstock one.

Body and neck stamped armenta which is consider one of the best fender workers of his time.

Pots and pickups dated 1976 with untouched solder joints.

Overall a great instrument with a solid B profile neck and a marvellous tone and a very light and comfortable weight.

Comes with original vintage Fender hard case
