This is not good for my Status GAS. Basses come and go but my Streamline is a constant. Now what can I sell to buy a Stealth 2?

Dunno, but the Affinity is standard Fender fit....any licensed neck should do. The Mighty Mite in mine was very slightly thinner and shallower but no problem in fitting.

I'm not ashamed of the fake Fender logo though, some of us don't have money these days to throw around on £500+ basses. besides it finishes the look off, and I would never try to pass it off as the real thing if I sold it. [/quote] Ditto I'm not a Fender snob.....my first decent bass was a Squier (albeit a JV) and even though the body has some dinks I dont think it would fool anybody lol. I use mine against my CAR US Jazz 75RI - there aint £1000+ difference between em.

Nearly finished my Affinity upgrade. Black white black pg courtesy of Bass Doc.....makes a massive difference to the look. Mighty Mite Maple board neck with 70s logo (I know, I know) with 70s Wilkinson Tuners. Looking quite Roger Waters now but still thinking about a period neck plate and bridge cover. The Squier pups will probably have to go at some point but where do you stop...... Definitely punch above their weight these Affinitys Maarten.

I've had this problem on and off for the last few years. What I've found works for me: 1. A shallow profile at the nut 2. P bass not J bass 3. Not neck heavy (so I don't have to support the neck) I guess none of this bodes well for the a thumb bass (I had one for a year, loved the sound but my wrist hated it).

Ditto, Also still can't send a message directly as the boxes are off the left hand side of the screen.....have to go in through 'compose new'.

Just picked up a mighty mite Fender licensed maple with maple board from bluegrass guitar parts for just under a ton. Came with 70 s decal already attached and it was in the vintage tint finish. I believe this guy has stock or can source easily - came very well packed and with good comms. Email addy [email protected]

Yup I've had 4 pgs from S&T......all black :-)

[quote name='pst62' timestamp='1325081901' post='1479623'] Here is my latest (and probably last) project. Squier body, Mighty Mite scratch plate & neck, Badass II, Wilkinson pups & tuners. Bog standard Squier pots & wiring (CTS pots and better wiring will follow later) [attachment=95911:Copy of Black Precision 1.jpg][attachment=95914:Copy of Black Precision 2.jpg] [/quote] Nice one P. I'm in the process of converting by black Squier P to a Roger Waters. If you decide to part out the BA2 let me know.

I use Status Flats on my Ray Fretless4. Nice low tension and good tone, more zing than TIs but a lot cheaper.

Another for headless here. Never goes out of tune, don't hit the headstock on the ceiling at those loooooow venues (like I did with someone's Stingray last week....whoops) and the balance is superb. Wish I could afford a 5 string Streamline........

If it bothers you that much id get a new one. Theres a number of individuals will make to order.....put a request in the wanted section.

Hey 'Show Me' guy, welcome to the forum.

I can confirm its been the same in this part of the country. Had a really concerted effort to get into a nice easy going function type band and unfortunately had nothing but disappointment so far. The arrogance of some individuals I've had the joy of auditioning for, has on occasion, been 'interesting' to say the least. Still, here's to a better 2012......
