The Streamer Heritage, Accessible Without Compromise
Born within the RockBass family, this Streamer LX 5 follows the design codes of the flagship model crafted by Warwick since 1996, featuring the same sculpted ergonomics and in-house hardware. The RockBass range condenses the DNA of the Pro-Series and Custom Shop lines into an instrument with controlled pricing, without sacrificing craftsmanship or reliability on stage and in the studio.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
Versatile and immediate, the Streamer LX 5 suits both
intermediate and
advanced players seeking a 5-string with a wide tonal spectrum. Its P/J pickup combination and active EQ cover rock, pop, funk, and modern metal, with a clear low B string suitable for fingerstyle, pick, or slap playing.
The Sound
The
P neck pickup provides body and attack, while the
J bridge pickup adds definition and bite; the balance control allows blending these characters. The RockBass 2-band preamp offers effective
bass and
treble adjustments to shift from a round groove to a punchy sound. The Carolina pine body delivers responsiveness, the wengé fingerboard enhances midrange clarity, while the 2-piece bridge and
Just a Nut III nut stabilize intonation and sustain.
