BassBus Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 If you click on the Streamline pic on the front page of the Status site you'll find lots of images of both models so you can see the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB[/quote] Yes, the new T-bass is a really nice instrument as well. I played the first of the new production models at the factory & they really are a stunning bass, but the body is uber-huge. Think KingBass Mk-II & you're on the right lines! Mart, if you look, the original Streamline like yours and mine all have a nice countoured curve between the top/back & the sides. The new ones have been almost "squared off" in certain areas. Basically less organic and flowing. Rich. Old curvy Streamline... (My bass) New harder edged model...

OutToPlayJazz Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 I don't know how many of you follow Statii.com, but our friend Todd from Canada recently took delivery of the first KingBass Mk-II headless model. Rob built it as a between jobs labour of love, so it took a very long time, but the results are utterly stunning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveski Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Here is a couple of pics of my newly aquired Black Beauty prototype 23 (may 2003) i traded this bass with JD for a lovely S2 and a few quid his way. They are both cracking basses and i've enclosed a couple of picks of our get together, with our ensemble of equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have a Pangborn there. Do I detect a hint of Jaydee electronics with these basses? Or did pangborn have their active control boards built at the same contractor that made the Jaydee control boards also?

witterth Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Ive got a 2000 serial number 370 similar to pic post #135. No coil tap or led, good condition (road worn admitedly-though that's no bad thing in my opinion) & status case. Can anyone know what that is worth these days?

OutToPlayJazz Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 2000's usually fetch between £750-£1000 for good ones. Very depreciation-proof basses & very very nice, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
