I've been waiting on the SE basses to show up in stores so I could check them out, but nobody's stocking them yet. But I love the designs and I've had my heart set on one, but I was having a hell of a time comparing the two because without a hands-on experience I'm stuck looking at youtube videos and almost nobody has done a comparison or even a demo of both through the same audio chain. The official demo of the Kingfisher is cool, but it's dominated by slapping and it doesn't really give you a good idea of how the fingerstyle tones compare to the Kestrel.
Paul Annis to the rescue:
The first half of the videos are nothing we don't already know, but the second half provides a nice comprehensive demonstration of tones through each pickup combination, with tone rolled up or down, both slapped and fingerstyle. So of course I found these after I pulled the trigger on the SE Kestrel, but fortunately it confirms what I was already thinking. Hopefully you guys will find these videos useful.
