Sign me up! Here is my headless Stealth 6, upgraded electronics, 16.5 mm string spacing, Status half-wound strings. This is my only bass. It replaced my Streamline 5 string when I decided to go to 6 strings

A number please!

BluesWalker, you are #12 on the Status Register. Welcome. Cool axe. How do you feel about the Stealth vs. the Streamliner for ergonomics? I was torn between the Streamliner and the Stealth when I ordered my 5-string, and was concerned enough about the bodyless design without a Steinberger swivel plate that I went with the "conservative" Stealth - which is a brilliant bass. But I sometimes toy with ordering a Streamliner as well, before Rob retires!
Hey Sid, thanks for the #.
I really liked the Streamline and would have ordered a build if Rob made a 6-string; I asked and he declined. I might order a 4-string which will include LEDs and a few other bells and whistles.
The Streamline has a few shortcomings. I found it very difficult to play the Streamline while seated and gave up trying after a few attempts to find a suitable position. The lack of a swivel plate leg rest would be needed to play seated. The upper frets, say above the 20th or 22nd fret are not really accessible, the Stealth has better access. There was one guy on the Status forum who had Rob modify his build to give him access through the 24th fret.

Thanks for the number and sorry for the missing link.....I thought I'd put an "alert" on this thread to let me know when people post, but I guess not.(
So, that makes:
Lulu #9 (number nine.....number nine....)
stuhammfan #10
And Dasto should be #11 - but it would be nice if the photo link were fixed.
[edit: I see what happened. I'd subscribed through the thread, but hadn't changed the default action from "no action" to "send email"!]
My 2008 S2 Classic fretless made for me and no-one else. Mwaahahahaah!
