Members willbill0587 Posted July 14, 2007 Members Share Posted July 14, 2007 I loved it.Last time I played a Warwick I thought the neck was far too big but now it seems perfect for me.This was the expensive neck-thru version and a bit out of my price range.

Members Incubitabus Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 haha! Maybe look for one used? Stage I's and Stage II's go for 1000-2000 USD on eBay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 I hate to say the old clique, but it's really a matter of preference. The upcharge is partly due to the fact that (generally) it's more costly to build a quality neckthru instrument than a comparable bolt-on. Whether it's worth the extra cost is entirely up to you. Bottom line: get what you want. If you really want the NT version, save for it and don't settle for anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragon9666 Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 You don't want that Spector knock-off, you'd be better off getting a US made Spector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lonerstoenr Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 You don't want that Spector knock-off, you'd be better off getting a US made Spector. Why would someone pay more money for an inferior instrument, such as a spector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flod Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 You don't want that Spector knock-off, you'd be better off getting a US made Spector. I thought Ned Steinberger designed them both? I could be wrong, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flod Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 im not so sure about that I checked it, and if german wikipedia is to be trusted, he designed the Spector NS-shape and the Warwick Streamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lonerstoenr Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 im not so sure about that Yes he did, the very early steamer stage 1's (1082-1983) had 'designed by neil steinberger' on the control place. He did design the shape for both Warwick and Spector and sold liscences to both companies, thought here are subtle differences now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeonVomit Posted July 15, 2007 Members Share Posted July 15, 2007 I like Spector, I like Warwick. So quiet! Streamer Stage I 6-string.... But my dream is and always will be a custom made Infinity NT 6-string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryknow Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 Spectors and Warwicks produce different sounds. Warwick's exotic woods make a different, defiant 'growl' tone that you just dont get with Spector, although Spector is a very exquisite bass too. Might look the same, but totally different basses. Go with the Warwick, for sure, cant go wrong. -edit; German engineering is second to none- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted July 25, 2007 Members Share Posted July 25, 2007 You, sir, shall meet me in Guitar center. Bring a Pistol. We Duel at dawm!!!! Word. Wacks are nice and all, but don't hold a candle to Spectors. I'd say a Euro LX would take a Streamer II down easy, and that's not even a USA neck-through model!
