  1. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='218730' date='Jun 14 2008, 10:18 AM']Difficult to describe. They play like any other Status, fast & lithe, but soundwise, they're like a more woody version, if that makes any sense? They still have some of the graphite growl as they have the graphite rods through the neck.[/quote] Cheers, that's helped a lot. The thing is I won't be able to try the bass before I trade it so i'm going in for it a bit blind. I will probably go ahead with the trade as i'm interested to expand my experience with different basses. Thanks again for your help.
  2. Hi guys, i've been offered a Status Shark in a trade, the single chrome pickup model, and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with one. I'm not really concerned about value or condition, I was just wondering if anyone could describe the tone. I've seen one described as sounding like a musicman, is this true? Does anyone have any videos/soundclips? Thanks, Mat
  3. I'm open to trades or part exchanges. Would love a part exchange on a [b]musicman[/b] (possibly a SUB), [b]status[/b] or [b]fender[/b] but all offers on other basses will be considered. If anyone has anything please give me a shout. Thanks, Mat
  4. Wow, that's one hell of a sexy P Bass and a great price too. Black on black with maple is definately the best combo for a precision. Sadly I can't afford it cos I just bought a new bass. Have a Bump.
  5. [quote name='tanuki' post='213386' date='Jun 5 2008, 06:13 PM']offers around £900[/quote] The website says "The Old Friend Contour Basses are designed to give you that vintage look, feel and sound [u]without paying an arm and a leg[/u]." Sadly my arms and legs are only worth £500 tops... oh well, good luck with the sale.
  6. *UPDATE* Paypal, cash or cheque accepted.
  7. [quote name='Stan_da_man' post='211765' date='Jun 3 2008, 01:20 PM']Mate, you didn't reply to my PM.[/quote] Sorry, PM replied.
  8. That would be beautiful with a white or clear pickguard. I might be interested, the thing is i'm trying to buy a ray off my mate but he doesn't want to sell until he's found a bass to replace it. If he doesn't come up with it soon I might have to make you an offer .
  9. I seem to have got a mix of positive and negative response. All positve about the bass but 2 out of 3 negative on the price. If anyone is interested PM me, i'm willing to take offers.
  10. Back up for sale, buyer had problems with payment.
  11. [quote]these basses are great. cort art often overlooked IMO. i think your price might be a bit high. i used to own a funkmachine 2 aswell, except mine had the small tm signature on the top horn of the body. i put it on the bassworld forum(as it was known then)£280, and still nobody wanted it. it was on for months before i decided to keep it.[/quote] Yeah, Cort do make great basses. And considering these retail at £800-900 (cant remember exact RRP) I think £500 is a fair price. I'm open to trades aswell.
  12. Cort Funk Machine II It's a killer bass with built in funk wah and slap depth switches. It has two bartolini Mk 1 pups and bartolini Mk 2 preamp. (full spec [url="http://www.cort.co.kr/english/products/common/view.asp?product_id=94#;"]here[/url]) Really offers a wide range of tones, I can sit there for hours just discovering new sounds. My reason for selling/trading is just so I can try something new, i've had this bass almost a year now. Looking for £500 but i'm open to offers. Will do part exchanges for musicmans, status or fenders.
  13. This been sold yet? I've been interested in this for a while but sadly don't have a car to trade... ...will money do?
  14. Trade for a Cort Funk Machine II? It's a killer bass with built in funk wah and slap depth switches. It has two bartolini Mk 1 pups and bartolini preamp. Really offers a wide range of tones, I can sit there for hours just discovering new sounds. My reason for trading is just so I can try something new, i've had this bass about a year now. May be able to put a little cash in with the bass.
  15. [quote name='WithoutRisk_BassPlayer' post='170911' date='Apr 6 2008, 08:04 PM']This is very tempting! Quick question though, can you put an ordinary jazz control plate and pickguard on it or not? I dont like the huge black pickguard on there.[/quote] To answer your question simply, no.
  16. If I wasn't gunning for a stingray at the moment i'd snap this up in a second. Have a bump for a great bass.
