  1. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='560208' date='Aug 4 2009, 02:12 PM']Hey Mart Nah, I don't like the new "hard edged" model. Sticking with what I've got for the time being...[/quote] Yer What............you mean they've made the Streamline less, huh, streamlined? Pity, I quite like the 'half-sucked' boiled sweetness of the mark 1.
  2. Like this one mself but I think I'm a bit far back in the queue.....
  3. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='560167' date='Aug 4 2009, 01:32 PM']Yo Brother Smithe! Yes, indeed - It's the one I'd be most interested in putting an order for. BB - Don't be put off ordering your Streamline. They're a fantastic bass & I definitely wouldn't be without mine! I use mine all the time these days [/quote] Does that mean you could be selling some of the 'woodwork' Rich to make way for a nice Streamline 5?

  6. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='544468' date='Jul 19 2009, 03:07 AM']Hmm, think I upset some Status-lovers. I meant to be nice about the seller's instrument, I quite like it in a nostalgic sort-of way, although I'm not a potential customer. But I still think people who buy things like the Streamline are off their heads. That's maybe the ugliest bass I've ever seen.[/quote] The looks - they do polarise people. I must be off my head but after an hour playing one I had to buy one. Your comment is only an opinion and obviously an ill informed and poorly researched one, Boomshanka, Mart. By the way - love the S2 - wish I had the cash for this 'proper' Status.
  7. [quote name='bubinga5' post='558570' date='Aug 2 2009, 04:27 PM']My Stingray has the best B string ive ever played..way better than my old Sadowsky..IMO Its a very focused instrument...depending on strings of course..[/quote] Stop teasing me like that Andrew......I still regret selling this one Still, my neckdoesn't hurt as much on long gigs with the Status.

  9. The only comment I can make is to be sure to try out a lakky 5 first. I found the neck width and 35" scale a bit much. In comparison the tighter string spacing and slimmer neck on the Ray 5 were much more comfortable for me.

  18. Almost worth splurging that as a project........less than 20 miles from me too, hmmmm.

  20. Yup, an early 90's with a nice bit of figuring in the neck, with the 'mute' bridge and in good nick I'd go at £700ish maybe a touch more if black/maple. A later one like mine (2005) tend to be more 600ish.
  21. Damn, I was tempted to make a punt for this but my previous experience with 35" didn't work out. I know it would end in tears. Lovely bass tho......

  24. Now gone to a new home. Pleased to see that it stayed in the county of Yorkshire.
  25. I'll keep a look out on the Rotherham side of Sheffuld. It's a stand out bass so if the scum bag decides to 'exhibit' it should be visible.
