Now that's how you match top wood! I wonder if the original owner had to pay extra for that? Great score man!
 
Very nice! Ed Friedland reviewed one of those a while back, they sound amazing!

Does special edition mean limited numbers produced? I can't believe they would all look like that.

Honestly warwick should think about naming their finishes correctly. Oil finish may be satin finish on maple etc. That sucks and really is misleading. According to hpf all burl woods have a satin finish but they don't etc.

You simply need to know what finish you have on your bass to properly take care of it (without following a set of rules that may or may not apply to your instrument)

Sascha, I've never seen a natural satin finish to be called oil finish, even on maple. If you order an oil finish maple, you will get an oil finish maple, not satin. We recommend satin finish, and then it will be called satin finish.

However, the Color Oil Finish is always some kind of satin finish, and we always said that, and advised the users not to wax it.

Stage 1 natural has a satin finish that's called oil finish - maybe I am wrong? Unlikely but possible :))

I've looked all around and can't where any satin finish is referred to as oil on Warwick's site. An oil satin finish is an oxymoron, because the oil/wax is soaked into the wood, and therefore the only texture you are feeling is the wood itself.

My SSII is an oil/wax finish, and my SSI is a satin laquer finish. The differences are quite pronounced both in look and feel. IMO it is very hard to mistake one for the other.

Satin laquer has a somewhat dull finish to it, and it has a smooth, dry feel.

An oil finished piece of wood has an almost damp, grippy feel to it, and is easily buffed to a light shine with a cloth.

For example, look at the picture of the blue Streamer posted above. It's got a satin laquer finish. Notice the matte look to it.

Then below my old Corvette STD which has an oil finish.

Nope... stage 1 natural oil is ... natural.
"natural" may refer to the color too, so it can be both "natural" and "satin finish"

Anyway, satin is an extra option, so if you order a natural one, you will get a natural one.
