Members ledyard Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 10 yr old Streamer STD. Ovenkol, bubinga, wenge. MEC pups, passive electronics. Comes with a beat up case. Says I can have it for $525 shipped. Too much? Just right? Great deal? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300390724950&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 The price right now is great. If it goes for under 6 bills it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ledyard Posted January 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 He said a few hours ago he was going to put a B.I.N. on it for me of $525 including shipping. But he hasnt yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 I think that would be an excellent deal if he did it and if you have the cash I would jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Incubitabus Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 There's a guy selling one on the Baltimore Craigslist for $400. I prob wouldn't put down more than $500 unless it had a wenge neck. That was the cheapest German Warwick they made. A quick check of eBay shows that the last Streamer STD that sold was a 5'r in nice shape, and it went for $405. I love Warwicks, but you're paying a little much at $525.

Members ledyard Posted January 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yeah its a ovenkol neck, wenge board, bubinga body as far as I know. He said he was going to add the $525 B.I.N. , suprise suprise, He hasnt done it. Piss on him...I will just bid on it at $450 and pay his $17 shipping instead of the $525 I offered him. Or maybe I wont even bid. His piss poor communication doesnt make me all warm and fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One Bad Monkey Posted January 31, 2010 Members Share Posted January 31, 2010 There's a couple Warwicks on TB's classifieds for around $625 or so. A little higher than your current possible one, but worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little higher than your current possible one, but worth a look. I actually joined there today specifically to look in the classifieds. All I saw was a really nice 4 string thumb bolt on for $950. Which id my G&L was sold I would take in a second. I am gassing really hard for a thumb:love: . But they are alot more expensive than Corvettes and Streamers.

Members One Bad Monkey Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 But they are alot more expensive than Corvettes and Streamers. A Streamer Std, yes. A Stage I, Stage II or LX? No. A thumb would be a good bass. They have a nice, tight growl to them. Have a bit of a neck dive issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members perrydabassman Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 opinions on the corvette? where does it rate on the scale of the "warwick growl"? (J pups) I really loved mine. Evidently so did someone else. I just sold it on the bay for more than I paid for it new at GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Incubitabus Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Whats a good price for a mint or near mint corvette STD? depends on the year. I'd say $600-1100 from 1999-present. $700-900 for 95-98 (wenge necks). Look for corvette FNA's ad Prolines. They dont get as much press but are awesome basses. I got my FNA 5'r for $460 a few years ago. still my #1 bass.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ledyard Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 The couple corvettes I am watching or looking at are Bubinga bodies, ovenkol necks, wenge boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Incubitabus Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 The couple corvettes I am watching or looking at are Bubinga bodies, ovenkol necks, wenge boards. So either they are old one-offs (unlikely) or they were made after 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members One Bad Monkey Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 opinions on the corvette? where does it rate on the scale of the "warwick growl"? (J pups) It's decent. Compared to my Streamer, I'd say the Corvette has more of that trademark growl, where my other one is a little more subdued. I used my Corvette for years in various rock bands and always got compliments on the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members perrydabassman Posted February 1, 2010 Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 Whats a good price for a mint or near mint corvette STD? I've seen em going for about 400.00 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ledyard Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've seen em going for about 400.00 on ebay. So they are becoming inflated as of recently then. Because I cant find any beow $600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ledyard Posted February 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2010 I lowered my G&L USA to $450 for hopefully a quick sale then I can add the cash to what I have and grab a Thumb. Unless $900 is too much for a bubinga, wenge, ovenkol thumb BO.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members engage757 Posted February 2, 2010 Members Share Posted February 2, 2010 I sold a Streamer standard 4 for $700 4-5 months ago, so that it a pretty good price! If he doesn't lower the B.I.N., PM me, I have a couple streamer standards, a five and a four. I personally think the streamer body shape is one of the most comfortable I have played! Just my $ 0.02 GOOD LUCK BRO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
