Greetings,
I have been reading daily about the Streamline and want to place an order but I have not received a response to my email. Does anyone know if they are on vacation for the holiday? I also tried dialing from here in the U.S. but I am getting a "non working number" message. Then again I could be screwing something up having never dialed Great Britain before. Any help is appreciated, Rob. :)

Hi Harlequin NY,
Indeed Rob has been battling with emails (and the snow in the UK) but I am sure you will get a reply soon! Sorry about that.
PS. If you can spare a call to Dawn you can get that order in very quickly -> +44 1206 868150

Thank you Andre,
You got me straightened out by giving me the phone # because I was inserting a "0" in the string of digits when dialing from the U.S.
So now I got through but there was a message that they won't be back in the office till January 4th. :|:o
So in the meantime I will keep reading and drooling. Thank you so much for the quick reply and help, Rob

Hey Rob, sorry about that I wasn't sure when they were closing for the holidays.
Drop Rob (Green) an email and I am sure he will get back to you!
PS. I love NY at Christmas ;)

Thanks again Andre.
I am on Long Island and many houses are lit up nicely for the holidays but no snow so it probably won't be a white Christmas this time.
I will email him again. I see the wait time for completion is very long so maybe ordering a stock bass would be better.
I would appreciate any advice on the Streamline in case I missed something on the forum or their site.

What sort of "advice on the Streamline" did you have in mind?
A couple of us have placed orders very recently, and several more have had Streamlines for a while - between us, we should be able to help.

Hello Happy Jack,
There were several options that would be nice to view somewhere like the ivory epoxy block inlays. I was also wondering what the backlit mother of pearl fret dots would like compared to the LED only option as far as brightness and look? And there also seems to be an option for neck profiles like "flat" neck?
Any thoughts on these? Thanks, Rob.

Drat! I went for no dots (so that's the ivory inlays gone) and wraparound LEDs (so no backlighting, then).
I didn't realise there were different neck profiles available, except in the sense that the 5-string profile naturally differs from the 4-string.
Given that there's no separate neck/body, having a choice of profiles would require completely separate moulds, wouldn't it?

My recommendation is to add the "satin" neck option - much softer nicer and no sweat !

I seem to remember Rob posting earlier this year that there is actually onle ONE neck profile......couldn't find the thread however.
And, what Andre said.

Jack if you have the wrap around LEDs that should look wonderful as is!

Magnificent! I like that.

True ... but you can't see 'em!
That's why I went for the wraparounds.
I did, however, go for the satin finish on the neck.
And I don't even sweat ...

Hi All,
I have recently had a number of e-mails asking about the "thicker", "thinner", "fatter", "slimmer" neck profiles we use. To be honest there is currently only one neck profile: It is a slim 'C' shape starting around 20mm at the 1st fret and about 22mm at the 12th fret. The edge profile is the same all the way but the back of the neck is slightly flatter as you go towards the body.
There are obviously some slight variations between models but they are generally the same. The narrower 16.5mm necks can feel a little 'chunkier' because of the narrower width as you move towards the body. (The width at the top-nut is the same on 19mm or 16.5mm models).
Older models (until the early 90's) did have some variations as the mouldings were sourced from another company. This was one of the reasons we developed our own method of moulding. We have made all our own graphite mouldings for nearly 20 years and do not mould for any other company. (Except the 200 Musicman Anniversary models).
The fingerboard radius is slightly flatter than many basses at about 16" (410mm).
I hope this helps clarify things.
Rob.

Back lit pearl look like normal markers when off, but are not as bright as the LEDs when on.

I think this comes up possibly because of the buyers guide mentioing it.

Thanks G-77, that answers that and I think I saw that in the buyers guide also.
I was actually concerned that the regular LEDs might be too bright and therefore the backlit pearl dots might be sweet but I am guessing.

Good find Trev!
I think we need to talk to that bald prick in Kensington about updating the "Buying a new bass" section......
