I've just purchased a 2007 RB streamer standard 5. Can anyone tell me where I can find the schematic diagrams for this model? The current PDF (published 2011) on the Warwick website shows the same wiring layout but my 2007 bass has 50k pots rather than the 25k pots shown on the current schematic.
Anybody know why the change of pots? I don't think the pickups have changed between the 2007 version and the current models.
 
I'm very surprised to see 25k pots on that schematic. I don't have a RB Streamer STD here to check, but as it's an all passive instrument I would have expected to see 250k pots.
 
I was also wondering about that low figure - but it is what it is on the schematic - definitely 25K. The two volume pots are B25K and the tone pot an A25K. I did make an error in my first post, my streamer has 500K pots (not 50 as stated above). Which is why I was surprised. 500 to 25 is a big jump. Especially as the pickup is the same.
Anyway my tone adjust is not working and I am not sure whether to just replace the pot with another 500K (and also replace the capacitor) or whether I should replace the whole system with 250K pots.
 
Yes, I believe that the schematic has 25k pots listed - I downloaded it myself to check :D

I'm not sure why the anomally - hopefully Florin will dive in here and provide us with some advice. I've had three RB Streamer STD basses before, and they certainly didn't have 25k pots in them - but they were probably (from memory) about 2005-2007 vintage. :D

I don't know. The passive humbuckers in the Streamer STD do certainly have a very low output. Maybe they have modified the design of the electronics to use 25k pots to better cater for the low output of these pickups???
 
Hi guys, I asked, waiting for a reply now. I will be back soon :-)
 
We overworked the pickups for the Streamer STandard, and the best sound we got with 25k. Using 250k is also possible if you want to replace them, I guess it is a matter of taste.
 
Hi Florin,

By any chance, do you know when this change was made?

:D

Cheers!
