Warwick Streamer

Trying to understand the differences and the further I go down the foxhole the more I am unsure. Have a link that explains things nicely? please share with me or point me in the right direction.

Streamer LX
Streamer Pro M
Streamer Stage I
Streamer Stage II
Streamer Jazzman
Custom Shop
Pro Series
Rockbass

I'm diggin' the Jazzman pickup config though I've seen Streamer LX jazzman as well. soo what's the difference/easiest way for me to sort this out? Do Custom shop have all the above? do pro series have all the above? Seems so many talented players on here know and maybe its just one too many puffs on my end but I admit I am confused. Thx
 
Streamer Pro M:
Double J pickups in a single housing (like a Music Man but not the same shape). No longer made.

Streamer Jazzman:
MM/J pickup config

Streamer Stage I/II:
Neck through designs.

Custom:
Standard German Warwicks.

Streamer LX:
Not sure. My Streamer is a Jazzman LX so it gets confusing.

ProSeries/Rockbass....cheaper Warwicks. Rockbass are made in China.

Warwick has made a recent change for 2015. All of the hand made German instruments are considered custom shop now. The German Pro Series line is a bit different. Different neck wood, frets, etc. Some build work is outsourced too. There is a thread in the forum on the Warwick site. (I would recommend taking a look at that, as people there know a lot more about it than me) Technically any German Streamer Stage 1 or II, LX etc. that you pick up that is pre 2015 would be along the custom shop line. Personally, I bought a Streamer Stage II last year and stopped looking for basses. That one is it for me: )

the pro series are excellent value and IME, no less quality. I put them in the same category as a spector euro.

when it comes to warwicks, I find there is huge difference in sound BO vs NT. there is good reason the NT's command more dough and they sound radically different.
