Crafted in Germany, this instrument boasts precision engineering with a seamless blend of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. Its body is made from a select piece of solid wood, offering tonal richness and sustain that are ideal for various music genres. The neck, crafted from a multi-laminate of maple and ekanga, ensures durability and smooth playability across all frets.

The Warwick two-piece bridge adds to the instrument's stability while contributing to its clear and defined sound projection. Whether you're slapping, popping, or playing fingerstyle, this bass guitar adapts to your style with ease.

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman.

Setup and maintenance

  • It's noted that some B strings may require filing the B string slot for proper fitment on the Streamer LX Jazzman 5.

    Source
  • A workaround for B string fitment issues involves compressing the string slightly using a hammer and metal surface before installation.

    Source
  • Some users report needing to crimp near the ball end to fit .130 B strings on a 5-string setup.

    Source
  • Certain Warwick bridges might need modification, such as widening by a luthier, to accommodate some string brands' B strings.

    Source
  • The Just-A-Nut II composite nut is prone to broken tabs, but it remains functional as string tension holds it in place.

    Source

User experience

  • Elixir NanoWebs are favored by some users for their longevity and compatibility, even with heavy gauges like .135 on Warwicks.

    Source
  • Owners note the Streamer LX's concave body distributes weight more comfortably, making it feel lighter than flat-bodied basses despite similar weight.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • Warwick strings are often taperwound, which can influence compatibility if using non-tapered options.

    Source
  • The Streamer LX includes recessed Dunlop straplocks, requiring specific strap compatibility due to its unique design.

    Source

Build quality

  • The Streamer LX 4-string features a wenge neck, which was phased out in the late 90s and replaced by ovankol, but has since been reintroduced.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • A 2000 Streamer LX model with a wenge neck is valued around $1000, though haggling could lower the price or secure additional items like a case or straplocks.

Use it every day

This is a beautiful guitar, and I use it every day. Any sound that you would want, you can find on here. A tad on the heavy side, but that's what you get with solid wood!
