Description

In the realm of bass guitars, the Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5 stands out as a paragon of exquisite craftsmanship and sonic versatility. This German-engineered masterpiece is a testament to Warwick's dedication to quality and innovation. The Streamer Stage 1 5 is crafted with a solid body of US-grown cherry, a tonewood revered for its clear and resonant sound that echoes the classic characteristics of both mahogany and maple. The neck is fashioned from flame maple, featuring a comfortable "C" profile and a neck-through design, which significantly enhances sustain and tone, making every note you play rich and dynamic.

Equipped with active MEC J-style pickups and a powerful 2-band EQ, the Streamer Stage 1 5 offers a vast landscape of tonal possibilities. From deep rumbling lows to crisp, clear highs, this bass is engineered to adapt to a variety of musical styles, whether you're laying down the groove in rock, jazz, or funk. The inclusion of a push-pull volume knob allows for a seamless transition between active and passive tones, offering even more flexibility for the discerning musician.

Warwick's proprietary chrome-finished brass hardware is not only visually stunning but also contributes to the instrument's exceptional tone and sustain. The craftsmanship extends to the smallest details, including fluorescent side markers that remain visible in low light, ensuring you never miss a beat on stage. With precision tuners boasting a 20:1 gear ratio, achieving perfect tuning is effortless.

  • US-sourced cherry body with CNC-carved precision
  • Flame maple neck with "C" profile and neck-through construction for improved sustain
  • Wenge fingerboard with a 34-inch scale length
