Hi guys (and ladies of course!).
Since several weeks now I`m GAS-ing those tasty Streamers, be it shape or sound. But could you just give me a little help when it comes to the sound? What the differences between the SS I + II and the LX? Okay, LX is bolt-on and has an Ovangkol neck, but how are the differences? I listened to a lot of clips here and on Youtube, but since everyone has different strings, recording setup and (most important) style it is really hard to judge.
At the moment I`m with a Vette $$ 5er, it sounds good, no question, but since we changed style I`m feeling no longer that confortable soundwise. We added a few Reggae- and Funk- parts to a good share of melodic Rock. The "rockier" it gets, the more i like the sound of the $$, all the pressure i get from the lows and low mids, but the more Funk we play it feels "not right". I tried different EQ (on the Bass as well as on my ADA-preamp), played with the coil tap switches and tried several brands of strings, one couls either fix the one or the other.
So, thats the one side of the why, the other is they just look great!
Sorry I have to ask, but there aren`t that many stores around here (the nearest being over 400 km drive) that stock Wicks, and those with the Streamers are really hard to find.
