Hi!
I am about to order a fretless Warwick 5-string but am a little confused about which model to order.
I am thinking of a Streamer Jazzman or a Corvette Std Bubinga.
Which one would be the most goodsounding and versalite bass of those.
The Corvette seems to be the most popular fretless but is it due it is cheaper or is it better sounding than the Streamer Jazzman?

Thankful for any thoughts!
 
For versatility the Jazzman pickup configuration is your best bet.You can get this layout with either a Streamer or Corvette body.You should try out both bodies to decide which suits you best.
The custom shop can fit this pickup layout to any model you want,as long as it's not a signature bass.
You should ask about this at the Warwick forum to get some info in finer detail as well as contact Tyler Krupsky at the Warwick/Framus custom shop in NYC.
He's probably the most knowledgable when it comes to customs.
