    Right now i'm goin back and forth between 2 different basses which i think i've found pretty good prices on. The first is a Warwick Streamer standard 4 string dual pickup passive for $429. The second is a Schecter Stiletto Studio 4 string active for $479. My only problem is that while i've played the schecter a few times and really liked how it sounded and played, i've never laid hands on a warwick. anyone know how theses compare? BTW i'm a big fan of the burpy growly sound. my bassses gotta have soem bark to em.

    Well i would go with a whopping 'neither' Of all the german made warwicks, the streamer standard is the worst. it is like a compromise between rockbasses and the german ones, it has cheaper hardware and passive pickups. IMO its poop. I hate schecters as well.

    What do i suggest? Get a used warwick, any warwick, besides that one.

    I tried them both. And for the money, the schecter played and sounded better than the warwick. IMO it's a better bass. :D

    For the record, the Studio 4 is not active. It has EMG-HZ pickups, which are passive.

    The pickups aren't active, but the electronics are...

    ...Yeah, gonna have to say a big ol' fat "No." to the both of them. I suggest you try out a Spector Legend for that price range (a tad more buck though) perhaps even an Ibanez SR50X for that matter. Say, what type of style music do you play? That might be able to help us reccomend something for you.

    I have that same warwick, not one of my better purchases. I'd definately look for something else in that range. Spector Rebop, ESP LTD, Ibanez, used basses from all sorts of places, all would be better than either. The quality of Schecters has never impressed me at all.
