Hi Folks
Not a Warwick owner.... yet. I have a mystery to solve first.
A friend of mine is selling a 1994 Streamer 6-string. He thought it was a Stage II, but it's a bolt-on neck, leading me to suspect that it's a Bolt-on/precursor to the LX (the trussrod cover is gone). But here's the thing.
He discovered trussrod was was bent. So he removed it... And threw it away! By this time he'd moved on to another bass.
So, he's willing to sell it pretty cheap, if I'm the one who deals with the trussrod. Modern ones don't fit. Local music stores don't carry older trussrod styles. The folks at Warwick.de haven't answered my email, and even the Canadian Warwick parts dealer doesn't know what kind of rod goes in, or where we could find one. Mt head hurts just thinking about it.
So, a couple of questions...
1. Anyone have any idea which trussrod is supposed to go in?
2. If so, anyone got the right kind of trussrod for sale?
I'd really love to buy this bass. It's on loan to me pending solving this mystery, and it feels and plays great (extra-light strings tuned down a 4th, ie a D-string for the A-string, to avoid neck tension), and it still sounds nice.
Any help is much appreciated!
