Description

The Warwick Streamer Stage I is a masterclass in precision engineering and craftsmanship, embodying the excellence that Warwick is renowned for. This bass guitar is a harmonious blend of form and function, delivering a sonic experience that is both robust and versatile. Made in Germany, it features a neck-through construction that provides exceptional sustain and musical tone, setting it apart in the Pro Series lineup. The body is carved from US-sourced cherry wood, known for its transparent and modern tonal characteristics, while the flame maple neck offers a comfortable "C" profile for effortless playability.

In terms of electronics, the Streamer Stage I is equipped with active P/J pickups coupled with a powerful MEC preamp and a 2-band EQ, giving you the flexibility to explore a wide range of sounds across genres like rock, metal, and pop. The volume knob includes a push-pull function, allowing you to bypass the preamp for a more traditional passive tone. Warwick’s commitment to quality extends to its proprietary hardware, including a chrome-finished brass nut and bridge, which ensure superior vibrational transfer and a rich, resonant tone. The wenge fingerboard, crafted with Warwick’s Invisible Fretwork Technology, guarantees perfect intonation and a smooth playing experience.

  • Neck-through construction for enhanced sustain and tone
  • CNC-carved cherry wood body for modern tonal clarity
  • Flame maple neck with a "C" profile
  • Wenge fingerboard with 24 brass frets

Owner Insights

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

Setup and maintenance

  • Ensure the neck is not twisted and the truss rod functions properly, especially in modern neck-through Warwicks.

    Source
  • Neck repairs can be stronger than original if done professionally, but buying a repaired neck should be considered only at a significant discount.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • 2009 SS1 features a broad neck with soapbar pickups, differing from J-pickups in other models.

    Source

Comparisons

  • SS1 is described as more mid-heavy compared to the low-mid heavy tone of the Thumb bass.

    Source
  • The Thumb BO offers a distinct growl ideal for heavier music, contrasting with the more versatile all-rounder sound of the Streamer Stage I.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners note that SS1 sounds more like a typical J-bass but retains a unique character distinct from other Warwicks.

    Source
  • Prospective buyers should test the instrument in person, checking for guarantees on past repairs to ensure peace of mind.

    Source
  • Streamer Stage I is praised for its comfortable balance, particularly when compared to the ergonomic challenges posed by the smaller body and neck dive of the Thumb BO.

    Source
  • Some owners resolve the Thumb's neck dive by using a wider strap and playing the bass higher, while others report discomfort if forced to play with a lower strap position.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • The leather bag originally meant for newer models is often purchased separately due to its high cost and limited protection.

    Source
  • A 1996 Warwick Streamer Stage I with neck repair priced at £1K is considered a potential bargain, as unblemished models typically sell for around $2000 (US).

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The Thumb's unique tone suits progressive and metal genres, offering a significant tonal difference from a Corvette, making it suitable for players seeking varied sound options.

Critic Reviews

Warwick Streamer Stage 1 2018 Limited Edition review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Warwick Streamer Stage I 2018 Limited Edition is a stunning showcase of Warwick's craftsmanship, boasting luxurious details and a robust tonal palette. Its European swamp ash body with a burl top and the seven-piece wenge and maple neck enhance playability and aesthetics. Aguilar pickups and preamp offer a dynamic sound, making it versatile for various playing styles. However, its hefty price tag of £5,660 might deter potential buyers despite its undeniable quality and performance. If you can afford it, this bass is a worthy investment, offering unparalleled sound and build quality.
