That looks familiar! Pretty sure I just traded that one towards a short scale Alembic 5 string. That said, it's an incredible bass, and you certainly won't be disappointed. Had I not switched to short scales pretty much exclusively, it would still be here with me. Congrats and enjoy!!
The only help I could offer is to call Chuck directly 833-776-2937 if emails are unsuccessful
I've never had trouble getting through by phone myself.
it probably yours.
I got it from Greg at bass pluckers
He's just the best to do business with
Yup, that was mine. As I mentioned, you won't be disappointed!! I'd love to get one just like it but with 5 strings and the shorter scale. Hoping he'll open orders again soon.
I'm wondering if they will re-tool to make a 22 fret four string neck for the stingray special/ sterling models?
It showed up today and it's as nice as you'd expect
thanks!

In my direct experience, Rob can do just about anything imaginable -- if you've got the dough and the patience.
When I ordered my B-2, I asked for some customization (actually, really a reversion to the original placing and spacing of the pickups to match that of the Entwistle Buzzard) and he had to build a new assembly jig and make some modifications to the CNC programs to accomodate my wishes. He was happy to do it for me, but I'm sure you understand this all meant added cost and a lengthier build time (which I still found very reasonable given I ended up with the finest instrument I've ever personally handled or owned.)
Does anyone have direct experience with a 32" 5-string stealth or streamline? Ie, does such a thing exist, and how have you found it, especially the B-string
I have 32" 4-strings (stealth and streamline) that I love, and a 34" 5-string streamline that I love, but I'm curious about combining the best of both worlds…

A couple years ago I contacted him about a stingray neck I wanted to have with basically a cut off headstock so I could mount a Nova head piece to make a headless bass with a stingray neck.
Rob declined but I was able to have Jerry Dorsch at graphite guitar systems build me one (albeit only 20 frets)
I have a standard 34 inch scale Streamline 5 and the B string sounds great.
But here's a video of a 32" 5'er
I used this one as the example for Rob to provide me with a quote on a custom Streamline 5 (this pickup placement and modified lower horn for better access to upper frets).
Does anyone here play Status with flats? If yes, why did you choose them any why? Thanks for your inputs..
I just scored the good Dr.'s custom King Standard . Killer little axe
i would have thought it wouldn't be that likely ...why go to all the expense of getting a bass that is designed to extract the maximum detail out of a string and then throw relatively muffled flats on it?
