Warwick Masterbuilt Streamer Stage II 5-string Electric Bass Guitar - Amber

5-string Electric Bass Guitar with Afzelia Body, Wenge Neck, Wenge Fingerboard, and 2 Active Pickups - Amber Transparent Satin

Taking Masterbuilt Techniques to the Second Stage

Servicing stellar bottom-end tone and sonic maneuverability, the Masterbuilt Streamer Stage II 5-string bass represents the pinnacle of the Warwick Streamer Stage series. An admirable afzelia body deviates from the Streamer Stage's original maple design, resulting in a massive tonal upgrade. The bass retains a standard wenge neck and fingerboard, which offer exceptional playability. Other classic Warwick appointments like the Just-A-Nut system and Invisible Fretwork Technology (IFT) combine to make this a bass worthy of demanding studios and brightly lit stages. Lastly, you can bet the Masterbuilt Streamer Stage II howls with the classic “Warwick Growl,” courtesy of two rocking MEC active soapbar pickups that dole out the tantalizing tone in masses.

Dominant afzelia construction

For this version of the Streamer Stage II, Warwick chose a beautiful afzelia to be the instrument's showcased tonewood. Bearing a dense feel, afzelia stores potent sound projection and resonance, making it a valuable bass for players looking to add a deep sonic punch to the mix. Catchy riffs in the high register are no problem either, thanks to the tonewood's clear high-end response. Finally, its even frequency response makes afzelia a competitive build material for several genres.

Masterful construction with an eye to detail

Apart from its exceptionally picked and matched tonewoods, the Warwick Masterbuilt Streamer II also achieves its signature “Warwick growl” from appointments like its Just-A-Nut III brass nut and Invisible Fretwork Technology (IFT). The nut allows for intricate adjustments of string height while the frets and a 26-inch fingerboard radius ensure you can execute advanced techniques with plenty of room to work. The 2-piece solid brass Warwick Bridge and Graph Tech Ratio Machine Heads keep resonance in the body and intonation rock solid whether you slap like a boss or play a little more harmonically. Plus, the tuners’ wooden pegs add a little extra charm to the Masterbuilt Streamer II.

In-house hardware

Making in-house hardware isn’t cost effective, but Sweetwater bassists think you’ll hear the difference in Warwick's approach. The Masterbuilt Streamer's proprietary hardware includes a brass nut and bridge. Brass delivers richer, clearer tone than other conventional nut and bridge materials, and is more inline with traditional materials used in brass instruments for centuries. Similarly, fingerboard frets are crafted from bell bronze, resulting in a bell-like musicality and a longer fret lifespan than nickel frets.

Active pickups and plenty of controls

The Masterbuilt Streamer Stage II is the perfect 5-string bass for advanced bassists that need the tonal coverage for a wide variety of genres and playing techniques. It achieves its signature sound with a pair of MEC active J-style pickups and a 3-way active preamp. Players can easily dial in a wide range of sounds with the mid, treble, and bass controls, plus a blend control to achieve the perfect mix of both pickups. Simply use the balance knob to dial in a core tone using either pickup (or both) and adjust the bass, mid, and treble EQ knobs as needed.
