Hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you has or has tried a Warwick streamer ( lx) 1993 modal. I'm going to buy it . One day I woke up and decided I need a great pj bass and so it was this bass or a Spector I'm buying it for 850 usd shipped from America to America( good deal ? ). Anyway hows the neck on them ? I heard the new ones have a way to chunky neck ? How is it for slapping ? ( yes I know a jaz would be better ) anyway any info at all on this bass please tell . And it's just a 1993 streamer but I said ( lx ) cause it has pj pick ups an seams the other normal streamers don't

I think LX emerged in '96. Maybe it is its predecessor Streamer BO? Still the same bass fundamentally I think...
The pre '99 Wicks tend to have slimmer wenge necks compared to 99-09 ones with a round profile and ovangkol.
It has an absolutely killer slap tone. In my opinion it beats the ♣♣♣♣ out of jazz basses (at least if its equipped with MEC pickups). I haven't played one myself so cannot really comment on how it plays but what I've heard it's very comfy to play and great to slap.

I have a much newer LX which has the fat ovangkol neck neck, but is otherwise pretty similar to the Bolt-on and the slap tone is wonderful. Big slinky maple body just seems to resonate so well with percussive playing. I have found the euro NT spectors a bit lifeless in comparison, and it makes a jazz sound like a thin little toy (and i LIKE jazz bass tone). you shan't be disappointed. I think i started playing much more slap once i bought my LX. matter of fact i'm gunna get off the net and go play it now....
