blue dawn finished are pretty damn hard to come by, so the US is likely to be your only option there, although the 2007 model, isnt that the one with the horrid 2007 inlay at the 12th fret?? if so, id forget that and try and find an earlier blue dawn finish, they ran the colour in 2000/2001 too (thats the period my blue dawn stingray is from). its an expensive affair though if you want to buy new, at current musicman prices, i dont think id recommend anyone to buy one brand new, they lose 1/4 value at least as soon as it leaves the shop!

xp100 does the harmonies that the bass whammy can do if i was gunna get another whammy, id choose the xp

graphite is the only way to go! +1 on status

it wouldnt happen anyways, ernie ball dont sell their musicman pickups to anybody

i could be wrong, but i really dont think this is a stock bass and im pretty much 100% the pickup will definitly NOT be a genuine musicman pickup

the WH1, XP100 and WH4 all work great with bass iv never tried the xp100, but the wh4 and wh1 i have owned. the wh1 is far superior in sound quality to that of the wh4, but of course you have to decide whether its worth the extra money. from what iv read, i think you should give an xp100 a go, get ebay watching

i cant justify the 20 odd quid train fair to guildford, but i still wanna go, i can't believe noone from bristol is goin??

you [b]don't[/b] like block inlays?!

blimey thats cheap!!!

fairy nuff, in that case go for the B2.1u?

i really, reallllly need to have a play on a status s2 fiver, never had the pleasure, but now that im fully graphite converted, i must!

I fitted a Status fretless neck to a Jazz a couple of years back - it worked ok but it would only fit well on one out of the 2 Jazzes I had. Pity the Black neck wouldn't suit my Red Ray so well.......or would it?[/quote] yes, it will but yeah that is one of the nicest looking stingrays i'v seen, its [i]almost[/i] as nice as mine, but not quite why did you swap out the pickup??

when i record i either go di out from amp, or through the zoom b2.1u's recording interface with trace elliot amp modelling. i think we just need to agree to disagree when it comes to distortions, i like the odb-3, you like the pd-7, okay?
