I'm back in after scoring this vintage beauty:

I'll get some better photos when I have more time.

Its a 1990 Streamer Stage I 5 string. Brass nut, bartolini pickups, lots of wenge in the neck, surface mount cavity cover and a killer slim neck. The real deal old style warwick features. Plays like butter and feels great.

The sound surprises me, its not at all like a Spector, closer to a Ken Smith than a Spector to my ears. Really growly down low. Fat Beams were a little too aggressive on here so I put on some TI superalloys, which seem great for this bass so far.

What strings do you other SSI guys use?

Nice SSI! The oldies are goodies! As for strings, I prefer DR Sunbeams nickel strings on my SSI. Smooth and vintage-sounding - very musical!

Right now I have Ernie Ball Super Slinky Hybrids, and I love them. I was using D'Adario XL Super Steels, but I couldn't the fret buzz to go away when I was finger tapping. I love the growl the XL's gave the low end, but Im happy all around with the Hybrids:bassist:
