FS: Warwick Streamer LX 4 string (SLIM NECK)

For Sale is a New 2011 Warwick Streamer Lx Bass Guitar. The day after I ordered it I got pulled over, and now I have to sell it because of upcoming legal fees that are coming soon...:crying: Because this bass is a 2011 model, it has the 'slim' neck profile. NOT the "baseball bat" sized neck that previous Warwick Basses had. Rest assured k...

If anyone has any information to...

Would it be crazy to go to Queen's Belfast over Durham for a master's?

I have offers from both but my girlfriend just got into Queen's for dentistry so will be there for 5 years. I live in England so obviously it will be long-distance.
