Here's mine, it seems quite embarassing in comparison with what I've seen here, but oh well, I larv' it. Anyone know when/why they were discontinued? I know they're not the classiest looking of warwicks but it plays extremely well. Poor guy.

There ain't no such thing as an embarrassing Warwick, and yours looks great! I think the Streamer Standards were discontinued because they were ported over to the RockBass line, though the Rockbass is constructed with different woods in a different factory.
Guess we can consider our Streamer Std.s as rare prize instruments now!

I looks like my Streamer Std. is no longer going to be my only Streamer anymore thanks to a beauty that showed up on eBay. More to follow...

Dude,
it's anything but embarrassing. I personally think it is a very sweet looking Warwick. I love minimalistic basses, and the Carolena wood looks great. Welcome to the forum man, although you've been a member for almost a year now......

So here's my latest entry into the Streamer Club - a 1999 AAA Flame in a custom blue (looks like denim rather than ocean blue) high polish finish:
I know I said I wasn't going to be able to buy any more Warwicks so I was going to keep the SSI a distant dream to always shoot for. Well, I must have lost my mind, but when the right Warwick comes along, and at only 1600.00, sometimes the mind has to give way to the heart. And after having gotten a stent and a pacemaker put in a couple weeks ago, I know a lot more about my heart...

Oh how did you get the crack? and where is it on the bass? I'm only asking so many questions because I want a high polish finish on my next bass and I am worried about cracks. Do you think that there is a chance of getting cracks on the back of the neck from truss rod adjustments?

Absolutely not. There is no way the paint will crack from normal use.
The crack is on the body near the control cavity. This was sustained because something heavy was dropped on the bass while I was on tour. The body actually sustained a crack, and this caused a crack in the paint.
The only other sign of paint wear and cracking is around the fingerboard, but this is ONLY because the fingerboard is painted. In the future if I do another high polish bass I will leave the fingerboard natural.
