New Status Streamline 5-string

[Born 2B Mild]

Oooh, I've been waiting to see the five string version come out, and now it has appeared on the [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/"]Status website[/url]. I'd love to try one out, as the concept appeals to me.

think this was pointed out in the status porn thread, looks gorgeous! Likelihood of a lefty though... hmmm...

It looks like a half-digested Steinberger.

Just needs one more string and I'll start to get excited

that would be more string than body

A couple of friends played that red on last week at the factory. They say it's very nice - If it's anything like my 4-string version, it'll be seriously good.

Yes, the body looks odd, but when you're playing it the single cut design comes into it's own. Balances perfectly & sounds utterly fantastic! - Little bass, BIG ATTITUDE!

I know that the options can change the price, but what sort of budget are we talking about here, Rich? I couldn't find a price indicator on the website.

I feel strangely attracted to that.

£1350 for the 4-string & £1450 for the 5-string at current prices. Rob's last price increase was last autumn where every bass increased by a very reasonabe £50 across the entire range.
