Always polite to introduce oneself I feel...

I'm Steve, and I have just ordered a new Streamline IV as a 50th birthday present to myself:D

I have been dabbling in the world of bass for about 35 years and I am still cr*p....I also run another bass forum, stangely called 'finnbass'.

I was lucky enough to have a try of G-77's Streamline at a 'finnbass fumble' a year or so ago and have held a candle for it ever since.

Can't wait for it to arrive now....

Hi Danny!

Thanks for the welcome:D

I fell in love with the streamline the first time I saw it. I've always been a headless fan and my Steinberger and Ibanez Axstar always get a good thrashing as they are so convenient to use. The Streamline just seems to take this concept to another dimension.

I am aquiver with anticipation...;)

Congrrats Steve and welcome aboard.

Nice choice with the Sreamline, as Danny says, the Streamline really is gathering momentum. I was initially going to purchase a Streamline as my first Status but went for broke on a Kingbass (which made me a Status nut!), and have recently ordered an MK11. But I think it's inevitable that the Streamline will make its way into my hands at some point down the road. Still waiting for Andre to let me have a go on his Streamglide! :@

Hi Todd!

Thanks for the welcome:D

I am ashamed to admit that, at the tender age of 50, this will be my first status...

I've owned a lot of basses and many customs, but I am still fascinated by this little thing and can't wait to give it a road test. Having said that, I have been fortunate enough to at least try one before, so I just know I am going to love it.

Welcome, Steve.

There is no doubt that Streamline owners are the cream of the crop, the most discerning, discriminating, sophisticated of all Statii.

My only suggestion would be -- "take two, they're small!"

Please note I was referring to the relative merits of Status owners, not Status basses. ;)

MMMMM??? I can't see how you arrive at the assumption where by owning a streamline you're the cream of the crop of Statii owners??

That's Yank mentality for you!! :D

Hi Steve, welcome to the Streamline club, LOL!

Yes, they are fantastic. I bought one of the early ones used at the start of this year and was so impressed with it that I recently picked up a later model with white front and side LED's. It's rapidly taking over from my lovely walnut S2-Classic as my number one bass!

Hi OTPJ!

Thanks for the welcome:)

I think I fell in love with the Streamline first time I clapped eyes on it on the web. I got to have a go on G-77's at a subsequent fumble and, I guess, it was only a matter of time after that...

As I was looking out for one I have actually followed your sales and purchases, but don't worry, it was the bass I was stalking;)

I decided on Friday, my 50th birthday, that I deserved a present...:D

Luckily, Rob had one that was nearly ready and unclaimed so I don't think I'll have to wait long..fingers crossed.

It's a bit spooky you said that...

I had to edit my post as originally it said, "I got to have a go on G-77"

Wasn't yours specially weighted or something? Bass that is;)
