Porque no todo en nuestras vidas gira en torno a 7ender, creo que la relación que existe, o existió, entre Spector y Warwick merece ser reseñada.
Con respecto a si el Streamer es idéntico al Spector, sí lo es, o lo era en un principio, de hecho, hubo un tiempo, cuando los primeros Streamers salieron al mercado, que tenían en la placa que cubre el acceso al alma la frase "Licensed by Spector".
Aquí les dejo un pequeño artículo donde se resume la historia detrás de todo esto:
"The basic Streamer shape goes back to a design by Ned Steinberger - another of his great contributions to bass playing. Most guitar and bass shapes are not subject to copyright (which is one reason why there are a million P-bass copies out there!), but Steinberger agreed an exclusive deal with Spector basses. Warwick, understandably, were not aware of this arrangement when they started producing Streamer basses. They were soon contacted by Spector and agreed to a deal where Warwick put "licensed by Spector" on all their Streamer basses. Before long, however, the subtle changes Warwick made to the shape (compare a '86 Streamer to a '90 Streamer to see those changes), and the developments in the woods and electronics meant that the Warwick Streamer was effectively a different bass. The "licensed by Spector" tag was no longer necessary, so basses produced since then do not make any reference to Spector.
If you like, Streamers and Spectors are cousins - there's a blood relation back generations ago, but they've grown up quite separately to be two quite independent instruments."

Spector NS-2:
Warwick Streamer de 1984
Detalle de la pala de un Warwick Streamer "Licensed by Spector":
Al fin y al cabo, tanto los Spector como los Streamer son bajos derivados del diseño original del genial Ned Steinberger, quien ha aportado mucho a la historia moderna de los intrumentos musicales, no se si al nivel de Leo Fender, pero sí tiene un cacho importante de ella.
(PD: Si el moderador considera que este hilo debería estar en otro foro, por favos disculpadme y movedlo.)
) hasta la llegada del NS-1 diseñado por Ned Steinberger.
