MoshkitoThe bass I have wanted to try and I would probably buy, is one of the Status Graphite Streamline ones ... the headless 5 String is what I would love to have, I think. Wouldn't mind trying the Steinberger, but I like the design of the Status Graphite much better. I'm not a "square" and "rectangle" kind of guy!




This is one of the times where we agree completely. 
 
A bit pricey though.



According to the website it is customer made ... and if I can get my hands on one ... and try it ... I probably will bite. I even offered our friend here that builds a few things, if he wanted to try a bass ... has to be left handed for me, though! Preferably short scale for small hands.

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

I always wanted a graphite neck bass in the collection and actually ordered a beautiful Status replacement P-Bass neck that I (sadly) have sitting here waiting to to be built, but this modular thing has become a full blown obsession that pretty much dominates everything else.
 
Moses graphite makes necks (and basses), has more options - including headless necks that fit a Fender neck pocket (I don't remember about scale length as I'm a long scale kind of guy) - and you avoid import costs, but there seemed to be some mixed opinion about them, so I went with the pretty much universally praised Status.
 
I think Modulus has also started making instruments again, but not replacement necks. And there's also Zon...

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.
