I know exactly what it was for me. The geometry of the Streamer put the neck about 2cm to the left of normal for me, and the extra reach threw me off. Just never got in to it with either of my Streamers.
Everything else was great. Well, except the 2-band preamp. Really really dislike 2-bands, won’t buy another active EQ bass with less than a 3-band EQ.
Come to think of it, my streamer didnt had controls for mid either. It has a passive/active toggle and I could set the balance. It still gets listed as a 3-band EQ on some shops. Same deal with my Sandberg TM. My Sandberg has a stacked pot with mid/bass controls.
@howard couldn’t the balance work for mid control? Usually the neck pickup has a bit more midrange.
My Warwick has a stacked pot too and an active/ passive pot or did have until I put a passive only loom in it. Figure I’ll use a preamp pedal if I need to
