Old Horse Murphy

I'm not really a fan of red basses but the finish on this is gorgeous. Love the reverse P pickup too. 

I had one of these in the same finish and had the S1 switch removed too. Lovely basses 👍

The very best colour scheme for Rays in my opinion and a great weight too 

@Brian45 is looking for a set of these

Wow they think of everything: a built in washing line? That's so cool 😎 

😐

My favourite Octave pedal. These are brilliant 

Bump for £370 delivered.

Thanks for all the interesting replies, but I'm afraid @Old Horse Murphy wins the prize

Thats very kind. I'll get my food covered dinner suit out for the awards ceremony 😊

Very very pretty 👍

You're passionate and you're trying to find an outlet for your passion Andy. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Add that type of passion to creativity and of course you're likely to have clashes: it happens in all walks of life. 
 

Give yourself a break mate. Your self-preservation kicked in at the right time and you left before you fell out of love with music and being in a band. Something will come along, it just wasn't this thing. 

Price drop to £1,600.

Really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing 👍

I thought I was the only one.

Don't get me started on pee'ing accuracy. Put it like this, I'd make your average Stormtrooper seem like the best shot in the galaxy. 

This certainly gives a different meaning of Lebensraum to me.
 

Or should that be Lebenszimmer?

During my life I've certainly eaten for more than 10,000 hours but still regularly manage to spill food down my shirt. 
 

Clearly the theory is flawed

I spoke with Dawn today about an unrelated matter but took the time to pass on my own personal gratitude as well as (I hope) that of the wider bass playing community. I'm sure others did too far more eloquently than I other could: a lovely gracious lady who represents her, Rob and the wider Status family.

Dawn was quick to point out it was a "semi" retirement and I for one

 will be interested to see what the future holds. I'm glad I rediscovered Status when I did. 

Wishing them all the very best in what I hope will be a long fulfilling future

Thanks Nick I’m really in two minds but I’m not using it to gig with because I’m struggling with the body size , I’m good thanks busy with gigs which is good , how are you all good I hope 

All good with me thanks mate. Glad you're keeping out of trouble 

That's lovely Steve. Hope you're keeping well

Very cool indeed. I had a SVT-CL and an SVT-810 a while ago. The cab was a breeze with the bar and wheels but the head was another story. It came in a flight case that weighed another 15 or so KGs so the whole lot weighed around 55kgs with those silly fold out wire handles. 
 

I was carrying it one day and stumbled and as I went to stop the head from falling I managed to tear my bicep partially off the bone! 
 

I sold  it shortly afterwards...but at least I could say I owned an Ampeg stack once! 😎

Lovely. I really like the models with the edge binding too. Very underrated basses 👍

This is probably my favourite Martyn/Thompson collaboration. Just sublime.
