Nice! Congratulations Yanni! She’s a beauty!

I waited quite some time for something special to appear. :-)

Thanks Rehan, you sure can understand me since you know the joys of Streamers well.
 
I am the happy owner of a 1988 Streamer. :)

Anegre body, Wenge/Anegre neck, bartolini pickups, MEC preamp, all original parts.






After a bit of sanding and some beeswax, she recovered some nice colors.

Still tempted to put some MECs or EMGs or...

As for the sound, despite the "warm" bartolinis, she does growl. :)

Incidentally, I also had purchased a (new) 2011 Korean Pro Series Starbass a couple of months ago...



Finally, a little question - I think I remember reading something in this forum related to the action of this switch in the preamp, but couldn't find the explanation again... does anyone know? Many thanks in advance!

That is a trim pot. It regulates the gain from the pickups to your pre-amp. Setting it too high will result in a saturated, somewhat distorted sound. You can use this to adjust the maximum output level of your bass.

Oh and welcome to the forum!
 
Just sharing my current neck-thru Streamer lineup:

2015 Streamer Stage II 5
1991 Streamer Stage II 4
Streamer NT I 5 (Racing Red HP)
Streamer NT I 4 (Natural HP)

Some interesting differences there, the 4-string SSII looks wider than the 5-string although it has one less string! Also the bottom cutout is much deeper. There's more differences there for sure, e.g. top horn shape, and I think pickup placement is a bit different between the two fivers for example.

Very observant of you Yanni and you’re right on the money! :) The early 90’s bodies are wider and more curved than the current MIG Streamers and the lower horn cutout is definitely deeper on the ‘91 SSII.

All true! I actually had not noticed the different pickup placement on the fivers until you pointed it out. :p All 4 Streamers sound fantastic and I am a happy camper for sure. :D

Check out this photo Yanni. I had both of these SSII fivers simultaneously for a short time,
1994 vs. 2015:
