Considering purchase: Warwick $$ Streamer 4-String Fretless

Hello guys!

I've been lurking for a while since I picked up the bass in my band, and thought It couldn't hurt to ask you fine folks about your opinion on the bass I'm on the verge of ordering.

I played for a while on a Warwick Corvette $$ 4-string fretted bass. Absolutely love the sound of it and it feels very nice.

A couple of months ago i borrowed a cheap Cort 5-string fretless from a friend of mine to play around on, and I really loved the feel of a fretless bass. After learning how to handle it I really want a fretless that is a bit higher quality to use as my main istrument. I play hardrock/stoner in my band and it works wonderfully with fretless.

The reason I want the Streamer instead of the Corvette is that the balance on the corvette body is way off, so the neck drags towards the ground. I've heard that's not the case with the Streamer, also it looks great.

Do any of you have any experience with this bass? Is it a solid purchase? Do you have other recommendations instead?

Thanks!
