87 SSII... nice and it is early. EQ/pre has been changed, is it an updated MEC 3 band or something different?

the stage 2 has the newer bridge despite being older than the white one . Why is that I wonder ?

This was recently discussed, and the conclusion was that the SSII was the very first production model to have the modern 2 piece bridge. This despite the fact that older models... Thumb, SSI, continued to use the Schaller bridge, up until the end of '87.

As far as we can tell, the very first known SSII's (Jan of '87, if I recall correctly) had the 2 piece, while the first SSI to have the 2 piece, was the 5th Anny, that was released in April of that year (though standard SSI continued with the Schaller). Forgive me if my months are off, but I think that's the known story. For now at least ;)
 
I should have mentioned, the original Streamer didn't officially have the Stage I moniker until sometime after '90 I believe (Schlo could pinpoint best). It was just the Streamer/Streamer Stage II for several years. Even though in email correspondence, papa Wilfer will sometimes call the 80's Streamers....SSI. And that's exactly what I did above. Whoops o_O

All part of the "let's confuse the hell out of people" Warwick history bliss :rolleyes::D:cool:
 
This was the original ad that made me buy my 86 Streaner one; the description is true ! This is one amazing bass! This store has sold thousands of basses , not very often they describie a bass like this

Does anybody know the difference in tone between a streamer 1 with wenge neck and anegre body and a streamer 1 witu wenge neck and maple body ???

I have the chance to buy locally one with Maple body and wenge neck . Any experience??
 
Body will be Cherry (pre 87-88ish) or Maple for post 88(ish) Anegre wasn't a body wood it was used for the stringers up the neck. Maple is a little brighter/focused than Cherry but you'd not be disappointed with either.
