If you guys read the description, it says the bridge and pickguard is none original

Here's one which has crossed my mind, I've recently got a SS1 5 string, now with my new gig, I won't really have time to mess about with swapping basses to ones in drop D etc, so I want to put a pair of hipshot extenders on the bottom two strings of (both) my Streamers. I know they'll fit on the B string, but am I likely to be able to get one on the E string too?

As much as I love big venues, festivals and functions (okay, not so much love there, but the money's decent!), I've always had a soft spot for playing in small pubs, clubs and bars. Some are also a pain in the arse, notably due to landlords wanting live music, and then complaining that it's too loud, or that the speakers are pointing at the bar, when the other option is at the wall, etc etc. But there're some crackers too! I think my favourite gig I did was in Wakefield at a place called Harry's Bar. It's tiny, I didn't even take my amp in it was that small! We turned up as a trio with a Bose L1 PA, which was plentiful loud enough, everyone in the room enjoyed it and go for the atmosphere and music, and there were no issues at all. Plus, I was packed up in less than 5 minutes, and my position whilst playing / attempting backing vocals was right next to the bar

Yep, they're a fine lacquer that goes on top, which explains why my 1996 blue one polished up rather nicely Lightly rub it back and then re oil, and it'll be good as new

I've recently got a 5 string Streamer Stage 1 Broad Neck, it's erm, heavy! The neck is definitely a try before you buy thing, it's mostly a case of getting used to it for me. It's amazing how only a few mm can make a huge difference! I treat it as a regular 4, with an additional B string. I've found it's massively cleaned up my technique though.

I've got a few friends who've played for various well known artists. Most notable, is a drummer who I'm really good friends with, drums occasionally for Lisa Stansfield and is also a member of Barclay James Harvest, and I also get on really well with his mate who's the bassist with BJH, and I see them and play with them on a regular basis Oh yeah, and the drummer also gigs with Dare (fronted by Darren Wharton from Thin Lizzy for those who don't know)

I pretty much exclusively play 5 string, so much so that I've gone out of the way to get a decent 5 string backup not too dissimilar to my main bass. I like the extended range, and also the flexibility for when a singer wants to do something in a different (and usually bloody stupid) key. I find it makes reading easier too

The band I used to play with had a DXR12 pair, and a DXS15 sub. I don't really know the ins and outs, but it sounded good and the sub could be lifted by just myself (I'm only 5'6 and skinny!)

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1413459117' post='2578395'] Indeed, small enough and pokey enough. Goes in my bass gig bag but sure, not 110% ideal long term. Also works well will NEO cabs IMO....or at least the ones I have. [/quote] Yeah it sounds great with my neo cabs too

My ToneHammer 500 (slightly bigger than the 350) fits in the front pocket of my Mono bag, weighs nothing and sounds absolutely amazing. Highly recommended

Well, I took my new Streamer SS1 5 string to a jam tonight, and one thing for sure, the Wenge broad thru neck adds a lot of weight, and effects the sound people make when they pick it up... so yes, wood does make a difference to the sound of (someone picking up) a bass guitar

Bought a Streamer off Kev. Great guy to deal with, was accommodating with the transaction and willing to meet me at Wolverhampton rail station (no mean feat as I wouldn't have liked to get that bass in a flight case on a train!). Nice guy, totally trustworthy with great comms. Cheers bud

I used to have one, cracking bass for the money
