  1. Also selling a lovely Steinberger XL2; [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STEINBERGER-XL-2-BASS-RARE_W0QQitemZ330316971587QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item330316971587&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STEINBERGER-XL-2-BAS...A1%7C240%3A1318[/url]
  2. Even with the current exchange rates this is a damn good deal.

Sooner or later, they disappear. It's a kind of magic.[/quote] LOL. A few years back I bought a new washing machine. Perplexed as to how to ditch the old one & had the genius idea of placng it in the new ones box & leaving on my driveway during the week of the local fair. It lasted less than 2 hours.
  4. [quote name='bassaussie' post='445148' date='Mar 25 2009, 04:56 PM']This is a bit rude .... "Those musicians who have played the headless bass are The Jam, The Stranglers, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Geddy Lee (rush), Sting and reggae master Robbie Shakespeare to name but a few... " Completely true, yet misleading enough to make it seem that this is the bass model that was used. I hate dealers like this who prey on a buyer's ignorance.[/quote] JJ Burnell did play the Hohner version prior to getting his Steinberger, I take your point though.
  5. Jeez, that's madness. Great line in the add though; [b]never been out of the case (except for gigging)[/b].
  6. There is no eBay rule requiring bidders to bid early. There is an eBay rule preventing sellers ending auctions early to sell outside of eBay.
  7. Seriously guys, this is the best bass Rob Green has built IMHO.

  10. It was valued by........his mate who he is selling the bass for.
  11. Cant believe this is still here, great bass with truly tasteful upgrades.
  12. I've asked who valued it for him & if I can have a copy of said valuation.
  13. I was sooooo close to going for that SII Rich, it's just wonderful. I'd love to keep the Streamline but I'd have to go in to hock to do it & I'm way too lilly livered for that.
  14. [quote name='crez5150' post='438523' date='Mar 18 2009, 06:08 PM']you wanna get this on Statii.com as well Macko[/quote] Cheers mate, I'll stick me head round the door.
  15. ** Sold to OuttoPlayJazz who I had the pleasure of meeting tonight, a true gentleman. Only one bass would get me to part with this & that's a transition era Stingray & courtesy of Lysdexia, I now have one. So my very new & shiny Status Streamline has to go or it will be my testicles instead. I bought ths bass with some invaluable assistance from Out To Play Jazz. Rich spent some time answering a multitude of questions about his experiences with his own Streamline & his judgement on these basses was spot on. Specs are pretty much what you would expect from Status; 1 piece molded graphite neck & body 2 x Status Hyperactive soapbars 18 volt, 2 band eq Mono rail bridge 34 inch scale with 24 frets Front & side white LEDs I've owned a plethora of Status basses over the years; S2, 2000, 3000, Stealth, Energy & Kingbass x 2. I can confidently say that the Streamline is the best sounding of the lot, it is incredibly deep & rich - even moreso than my Stealth which seems to defy the laws of physics. The looks are an aquired taste but, once you play one, it all starts to make sense. It balances perfectly & sits just right on a strap, the uber-compact dimensions make it very, very comfortable to play for hour on end & it's easy to forget you have a bass round your neck. The bass is 100% mint condition, not a mark anywhere & comes with the Status gig-bag, tools, string adaptors & warranty card (which I haven't sent off yet!), I'm also pretty sure I have the invoice for it too. A new Streamline with full LEDs will cost you £2025 & current delivery time is 8 - 12 weeks. I'm looking for £1500 for mine, a huge saving on an essentially new bass. Local trial is more than welcome (just south of Middlesbrough) & I am happy to ship pretty much anywhere at cost. Just PM me with any Qs or for more piccies. I appreciate that this bass is a real marmite job but if I get no takers I will look to keep it by any means, fair or foul. It is a killer & only the end of an 18 month search for a transition 'ray has made me even consider selling.
  16. It's taken me over 18 months to find a nice transition 'ray so I jumped as soon as I saw it.
  17. Lovely looking bass but terrible photos, clearly got no light bulbs at home!
  18. Rich, that is just stunning! What sort of condition is she in overall? It looks very near to being mint.
  19. I love these amps, real old-school Ampeg tone at this price is a steal.
  20. I'm getting the words creme brule.
  21. Ah but the body of this one is swamp ash - which sounds way better than normal ash, which is what it'll be.
  22. Me either, I have had a couple of relics & both had R serial numbers, one a 4 digit & one a 5. The Time Machine range don''t have the CS logo on the neck plate, AFAIK they are the only CS guitars not to have this. I think the number of fake relics kicking around makes people twitchy.
  23. 24kg is well within most couriers weight limits & shipping will open up your number of potential buyers.
