steve-soar Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='262950' date='Aug 15 2008, 10:27 AM']I think the 6-string Streamline is going to be a guitar as opposed to a bass. I'm down at the factory again next Thursday so I'll bring back all the rumours and goss then! Hopefully will get to see the mk2 KingBass as well.[/quote]You bloody live there, would you also ask if there are any plans to build the Streamliner in left hand, or if they will build the replacement necks in lefty, please? Thanks Steve. Quote

Hopefully will get to see the mk2 KingBass as well.[/quote] I can see you're getting a lot of requests for info here ... hope you don't mind me asking another. I heard rumours a while back that Rob was refusing to build Electros either because the model was being revamped, or perhaps because it needed a revamp. Any news on that would be much appreciated. (I'm hoping to hear about a bass with larger acoustic chambers). If that's too many requests and mine drops off the end of the list, no problems. Cheers, Andy Quote
Kev Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 can you also ask Rob what his opinions are on the plight of the wrinkled ball sack? Quote

themoo Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Someone wanted a graphite Series 2000 to drool over! Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Nice one Matt - superb condition! Do you still have the 2000 - if so, what's the serial number? I've got number 27 Quote
G-77 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Moo, i'm sure you might have a few more pix of your other Statii to show the people ;-) Quote
Guest Mike Prince Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Hey All. Here are pictures of my 2 beauties. My Kingbass, artist, finished in March 08, And my Empathy 4 with SIMS SENSLIGHT LEDs, got last sunday: Really amazing basses. I have also owned: -Series 2000 FPPR -Kingbass artists 19mm spacing -Series 1 Headless 4 All of them were amazing basses Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Wow! Another Eclipse Ltd 5er. I really like the look of these - That's two on this thread so far! Watch this thread for something special & Status-shaped towards the end of next week. I've just closed the deal on a trade... Quote
lee4 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I've owned a Groove for years.Other basses have come and gone but the Groove remains the one constant piece of equipment. I e-mailed Rob Green about a re-issue of the Groove.He said maybe,with a graphite neck.I'm offering myself up as test pilot! Quote

Would be a killer instrument! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Someone on this server has one of the last Groove bodies & that one actually came out of the factory with a graphite neck. Sounds like quite a special instrument! Quote

grapevinebass Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 OK to add to the Status-Fest... My Series 2 in Cherry laquer finish over ash The graphite has a red tint to compliment the body. Light and well balanced, and just (almost) never goes out of tune Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Hi Grapevinebass, thanks for dropping by! Love the chrome controls against the trans red finish. Nick (doctor_of_the_bass) will be drooling over that one! Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 ..what do you mean Rich, drooling over that one! I drool constantly..its me age! Hehehe! Seriously, love the colour! The chrome hardware gives it a clean fresh look (sounds like an ad!). Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Thought I'd add a premature pic of the one I'm picking up on Thursday while I'm down in the South East... Lovely! Quote
