BassBus

I wonder if he is under the impression that Staus built these. They are rare of course. NOT!!!

The circuit has volume, blend and active treble cut/boost. The battery is for the circuit not the pickups. The circuit is more than likely the board 100. Details in the link below on the Status site. Go to 'online shop' then 'active circuits' and you'll find details of board 100 at the top of the page. http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html

Oh my! That is very pretty. I don't usually go for heads on Status basses but that one looks lovely with the gold tuners. Any idea when the bass was built?

I use Labella 760fl on my Overwater fretless and they are the best fretless strings I have ever used. Much more clarity than TI Jazz flats to my ear. More akin to a half wound string. Lighter tension than a traditional stair rod flat.

4003 people must have complained about it

This thread might even reach the realms of a Stick in the Backer thread. With that in mind IBTL

Report it to the RSPB

Exceptional! How do you get on with the long scale?

The day it arrived I had to go away for the weekend without it. Can you imagine the pain. Not being neurotic of course

Thanks Merton. The pedant in me says I was in error by saying it is the best bass in the world. I am not aware of any bass guitars built in a place outside this planet so it must be the best bass in the Universe.

Thanks eude. It is very, very nice indeed.

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Those nice people at Chez Status decided I should have a new bass so they sent me one. Isn't that kind of them. A brand new Series 3. Newest model in the Status line up and for me the best yet. It is hard to understand how Mr. Green could have improved on the design of the S2 but he has.

Joyo boards look pretty tough and are two thirds the price of a Pedaltrain.

That might be one for Happy Jack's neck less fret.

It's really difficult to criticise something as good as that. I can't hear anything I'd change in it. Good job. I like all the arpegiator stuff.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1443714580' post='2877114'] I dunno... that would mean they had two members who weren't good enough to play the guitar [/quote] Or looking at it another way; a guitarist trying to make out he is the most important member of the band.

I watched that before and that explain's Eric Czar's recent video on YouTube. Guess his bit didn't make the cut. http://youtu.be/zOwfI4RgfrE

Can't promise anything but I have passed your post onto a contact in the Northumberland jazz scene.

Don't think I'll ever get bored with work of this quality. Still looks top notch.

There is also the matter of economies of scale. Behringer produce many thousands of products each year. Boutique manufacturers produce a few score of products each year. Companies producing thousands of units can sell each unit at a much lower price. Think why supermarkets sell for so much less than a small shop. Simple economics.

And another thing. I would love to see a collaboration between Hackett and Tony Banks. Before Mr. Hacket starts lobbing heavy objects in my direction, I don't think that will ever happen now, sadly.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1442837987' post='2869837'] All in a good cause, so good on them, but otherwise... well you know http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U49cwM7b1Wk [/quote] Now that's what it's all about. Pure dead brullyint! as they say in a big city in the west of Scotland.
