Hello Friends ,

My new streamline is now ordered and here's the specs :

Streamline 4 strings

16,5 string spacing

White front and side led's

Women chrome facing

2 soapbars with coil-taps to be able to switch from humbuckers to single coil pick-ups

...and now hesitating to add chrome Pick-ups like the Retroglide model

It's my first post on the statii forum ! ...please accept my apologies if my english is not perfect , i'm belgian !

Thank you friends !

Alain

ps : do i really need to say i really felt in love with the Status sound ???

...and another one of my MK-2 ...so sweet and punchy sound !!!

Hi Alain - congratulations, you will love the Streamline

Hi Andy ,

Thank's to excellent advices ;-) , i finally placed my order for astreamline and i almost quite certain i'll go for chrome pick-ups as well...the long wait begins !

Alain

Cool - I'm sure you made a typo in your original post, because 'women chrome facing' sounds too good to be true
:D

ah ah ah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! incredible !!!!!!!! ...women crome facing !!!! loooooolllllllllllllllllllll

From a fellow countryman: welcome to the Statii family!
Please have your camera ready when your newcomer finally arrives as everyone here will want pictures, and lots of them!

Bienvenue to the forum Alain !

Hi Alain and welcome to the forum.

I like your enthusiasm about Status ! Looking forward to see pics of this, once more, unique Streamline.

You finally made it here Alain!

Nice choices on your Streamline order, chrome pickups should look pretty cool. ()

Umm, i'm getting them, cheers for the idea Todd, you've a good eye for what looks good!;)

Thank you friends for your welcome !

Regarding the streamline , i really do think it's a unique instrument , i've never played a " small body " bass , it will be a total change ! :)

Rob told me chrome pick-ups have never placed on a streamline and would need special " extra-work " on the bass to fit them into ! ...this is great and ...cruel cos the long wait will effectively be very very very long ...:o :D :D

Alain

Congrats, Alain - Good to hear there's going to be another Streamline owner. They really are catching on, aren't they?

I've just used mine in a show for a week & the led's certainly helped in the blackouts, but with the confined space up on the rise at the back of the stage the compactness of the bass & the light weight really helped as well.

I did the band call on my swamp ash bodied Music Man & my back complained about it for about two days afterwards!

Hello Rich and Andy ,

I understand so well the " weight " of some instruments we play . I own an Alembic series 2 ( http://www.alembic.com/info/fc_NN.html ) which i'm really delighted of regarding the sound , playability , look...i played it at a gig friday and yesterday , i played my Status MK-2...both basses are great in terms of sound but if i had to pick one to play one year , i'd pick the Status : great and deep sound , versatile eq , and...Lightweight !!! ...and for an old man like me ( 42 :P) , weight is clearly an issue ! I play +/- 70 gigs a year and i do that after my job time , so once more , weight becomes clearly an issue with time and gigs...so u'll understand i really look forward my new streamline ! :D()

Alain

Hello Friends ,

I just got my tracking number for my streamline !!! I'll sure have it for wednesday or friday !!!...first time i order a bass without seeing it even an inch of it...i'll post pics of the streamline as soon as i have it , as requested by TSA ...for example :D

Alain

Enjoy the wait :)

...i waited more than a year for my Alembic and having pics...first time without anything but so good !

Alain

Hey Alain, you must be soooo excited !:o
