The Warwick RB Streamer NT I 5 is a high-gloss black beauty – an elegant five-string with a neck-through maple construction providing rich, long-lasting sustain. The two-piece alder body adds warmth and balance to the Streamer's tone, while still keeping things crisp and clear. The fingerboard is another highlight, with the wenge wood used here contributing both to the instrument's classy optics and its focused, direct response. Every detail of its musical character is captured by the pair of active J-style MEC pickups. Combined with the blend dial and active two-band EQ, musicians have complete control, able not just to cut the Streamer's lows and highs, but actually boost them to dial in the perfect tone.
Even just looking at the specs, the Warwick RockBass Streamer NT I 5 has clearly been built for a life of hard work. With its 864mm long scale neck, it delivers tight, punchy tone and precision across the board. This is complemented by the 16.5mm string spacing, which makes fast, clean runs a breeze. One standout feature on the RockBass Streamer models are the jumbo frets made of titanium-brass, which transmits vibrations extremely effectively; light, hard, and durable, this alloy is also designed to reduce corrosion and tarnishing, ensuring years of reliable use. At the top of the neck, there's Warwick's own Just-a-Nut III, a fully adjustable nut made from tough synthetic tedur. Down at the bridge, there's the two-piece Warwick 3D Bridge, which gives bassists endless scope to tweak their action and intonation. Working together, nut and bridge keep the Streamer's tuning rock-solid.
For bassists who are after an instrument suited both to accurate recordings in the studio and nightly work on stage, the Warwick RockBass Streamer NT I 5 is an ideal choice. With its active pickups and its onboard EQ, this is a bass with a wide tonal palette to play with, making it a solid choice for experienced amateurs and professionals alike. Thanks to its resonant, articulate sound and rugged build, it's right at home not just in Funk and Jazz, but also in heavier Rock and Metal styles, where the low B string will be particularly welcome. With its standard long scale neck and five strings, it's especially comfortable for players with larger hands: Younger or smaller players could struggle with the neck length.

In the studio, the Warwick RockBass Streamer NT I 5 really shines thanks to its onboard EQ, which is perfect for dialing in a solid, record-ready sound at source.

And whether the band is heading to a club gig, an open-air festival, or out on tour: The familiar RockBass build quality and durable materials will always hold up on the move and in new venues, even when other instruments might throw in the towel. Weighing in at around 4.5 kg, it's light for a five-string, and won't become difficult to play through extended performances.
