Up for sale is my 1985 Warwick Streamer Stage 1 - also known as a "Paddlehead" due to the shape of the headstock which is non-typical when compared to later Warwick basses. This bass was hand built in Germany to the highest of standards. Also included in the sale is a brand new flightcase to...

Sometimes the Swiss send it from Germany, so no VAT in the EU. Or to pick it up.

or even France or Italy, it depends which country is closest.... If you need any help for a bass in Switzerland, provided it is not too far away / the other side of the country, I might be able to take a look at it for you. For example, the one I posted earlier is about 2.5 hours away from me, but I do drive up to the Basel area from time to time, which passes right in front of where that bass is.

If anyone likes this, it did not sell so is not at the "propose a price" stage:


I can propose them a price if you want it !

my 2 cents: I think for „good reason“ Warwick changed the angle of both pickups. The EMG LJ has got a blade length of the magnet of 78.74 mm (total PU length of 93.98 mm)..see EMG manual. EMG recommends a max string width of 69mm. I suppose the B string to be outside that „window“ on the neck PU..my Thumb 5 is from Nov 1986 with adopted PU angle (and already the 2 piece bridge)
