    What is the bridge spacing and scale length?

    I can't think why it took me so long to realise! Clearly the turnip-head in this instance is south of the border.

    Bought a nice Trace Elf amp from Mick and all was good! Top BCer!

    I can attest this is a solid bass - I bought mine 20ish years ago at university having never played bass before. It sat in a cupboard for about 15/16 years and I then joined a band, learned bass on this exact model with bubinga top. Well balanced not too weighty, nice action. I have replaced a couple of the tuning pegs through necessity but I have even gigged with it. Go for it I say! And yeah no mods needed. Bear in mind is fully active (i.e. it has no passive mode) so needs the 9v to work at all, but it is just one battery and they last a good while as long as you don't leave a cable plugged in the jack.

    I actually put that to Ned Steinberger himself, and he said that for all kinds of reasons he will never be involved in reissuing that bass, and most likely no one else would either. It's a shame because if someone were to make a proper reissue of the original L2 then they could have my money, for sure. I'd be very interested to know how you thought the Streamline (and S2) compare to the Steinberger.

    You have indeed stumbled upon the correct pronunciation. It is simply "neep" as in swede/turnip/rutabaga and "heid" as in head. A silly person, basically. I came up with it as my internet nom de guerre/plume because I was wanting a Hotmail address (in the pre Microsoft days, so around 1996?) with no numbers in it and I wondered what no American would think of.

    I guess it depends on ‘U’ or ‘C’ P bass etc etc, I found the status to be shallow front to back as does my current bass (goodfellow) but as you say quite rightly all opinions eh? 🤷‍♂️

    That's very cool.
  14. roger
    had one of those too!🤦 gotta say though if someone were to reproduce the L2 now I reckon it would fly off the shelves!
  15. Bagman
    the neck feels like a Precision but the nut spacing feels like a Jazz imo
  16. petecarlton
    Man, you're getting rid of some great amps!

    Pair of Aguilar DB112 bass cabs in Chocolate Thunder (1x12 inch speaker with tweeter, rated 300w RMS at 8ohms). Incredible, meaty little cabs. They've been my main backline for over a decade but I've recently switched up my rig and these bad beauties need to go. They do show some signs of use (rusty metal corners, some tolex scratches, scuffs, little rips etc) but are functionally excellent. Some of the best cabs I've had the pleasure of using. £700 for the pair or £400 each. £500 for the pair or £300 each Collection from Pembrokeshire, can meet halfway or can deliver in-person for petrol money.

    This amazing emulation of the acoustic control corporation 360 preamplifier with variamp and built in fuzz is up for grabs. Hand made by the renowned JC Maillet and commissioned and imported by myself at great cost. I have used the 360+ for studio recordings, gigs, rehearsals and at home, it has never dissapointed. The preamp sounds fantastic and the fuzz section is the best I have used. I have owned this pedal for a good few years from new, as can be seen it's in pristine condition. Specially sourced UK power supply also included. Will happily run from other sources with the right leads (I used it with a trex chameleon). Fully detailed printed instruction manual also included. Only available as I have more preamplifiers than I can use. Try out/collection always welcome, or UK insured postage for £15

    I've got a Status Streamline bass, pretty much as a substitute a Steinberger L2. It doesn't really sound that similar, but it's a beautiful design in its own right and it's the closest I'm going to get to the heart's desire of my younger days. I find the Streamline to have a warmer tone that's a bit less strident in the midrange than the inherent Steinberger L2 sound, while retaining a similar graphite-derived clarity. It would've been interesting if the Streamline had been on the market back in the 1980's heyday of the Steinberger. Rob Green would probably have been fighting off customers with the proverbial unsanitary stick.

    Re: "neepster" on reading that word it just occurred to me that @neepheid should probably be pronounced "neep-heed", in a Scottish accent. Not "neeffeed" in an English accent, which is how I have been reading it in my head for the past seven years. Am I correct, or now being thick in a yet another novel and embarrassing way??
  25. Lozz196
    Erm, like this?
  26. Killerfridge
    It's definitely a good looking bass, hope it plays and sounds just as good!

    It seems that the core is round. If you are not careful when cutting it and then with installation, the winding may loosen. Hexagonal core keeps the winding better in place.

    @Byo @Lozz196 I loved the JMJ’s punch, but I wanted a warmer, beefier tone with bigger lows, less top-end bite, and a hotter output, so I dropped in the Nordstrand. That said, depending on the amp and pedals the difference can be subtle—both pickups are great…I mostly just wanted an excuse to put Nordstrands in. 👀😂 My father in law has a JMJ with the stock pickups, I’ll do a side by side to see how noticeable it really is. 👌
