Nice set up buddy….similar to mine, fits nicely in the back of a 5 door mini.
-
For those of you who’ve changed the decal, how easy was it? Can someone give me the lowdown on how they did it before I attack mine? Maybe PM to avoid thread derailment.

For the last 5 years I've had cracking this as my new years resolution..... Progress is slow. Buying a Status S2 did not improve progress. -
Dune Tune Level 42 (and hit me with your rhythm stick of course...)
-
I don't think these had anything to do with Status Graphite. I could stand corrected but the images I've seen look like standard far east produced Fender clones?
-
Conversely it's bad for my bank balance lol.

Final reduction to £850 - collect or close meet up.

A few few more pics from last Saturday nights gig in Hull. Nice shot of the, new to me, Lionel on its second gig. Also a shot of the bar staff dancing on the bar….that’s a new one on me.
-
The Lionel in action last night. Still on the stock pickups but they seem to cut through nicely so I’m not looking to change any time soon as yet.

Couple o’ pics….

Great gig last night at the Service Station in Hull. The staff and crowd entered into the 70s Glam theme bigly. Bar staff dancing on the bar at the end…. Definitely will be returning in ‘25. The on stage sound was pants though, too loud and undefined (sounded great FOH though), could hardly tell what I was playing all night which led to the odd guff. Must sort out some in ears sooner rather than later.

More Pics…..

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

I found the same with my CIJ Mustang, I was surprised as it was the same weight as my Mikey Way that is well balanced. Ended up selling as it irritated on long sets even with a good strap. Pity, it was a comp stripe and they’re going for silly cash now. -
Oooof, lovely that. I'd love to try one of these out, particularly as I have one of your trade options. Sadly in these trying times, despite inflation falling, the differential isn't in the coffers. GLWTS I don't think you'll have any problems! -
I'd add Status to the list. Definitely works of art, not sure on the new 'non-carbon' models but the older graphite neck/through neck S2s crop up frequently and tend to hold their value.

The recent acquisition of another shortie has meant one had to go and due to band ‘visuals’ this one has been selected. It’s with a heavy heart but she who must be obeyed has to be considered. Not really interested in trades unless it’s a Mikey Way Jazz bass. If there’s any interest I’ll send decent pics but you all know what these look like, it’s in the same road worn condition as I received it and it’s been well looked after by me. Currently fitted with EB 50-105 Hybrid Slinkies and only light use on these. Will also be supplied with the original fitment Fender Flats if wanted. Only got the original Fender gig bag with this (great condition) so it’s collection or close meet up in Sheffield/Rotherham area only.

Sounds good to me.

Can you imagine the sound of 10k bassists 🤪🤪🤪
-
Cheers mate, would’ve been nice to see you. Maybe catch up after your ‘retirement’. Not over your way again until August when we’re in Withernsea.
-
We seem to be doing more local gigs at the minute Dave, used to be mainly 1-2hr commutes, not sure why but not complaining. We’re hoping we pick this place up for NYE, that would be perfect.
-
I’d have had to upgrade the Smoothound…
-
Next Saturday Pete, Service Station - not played there before. Apparently a bit of a rockers place so we’ll see how Glam goes down 🤣🤣🤣

A very local gig for me last night, only 4 minutes drive (yes I timed it 🤣). Place was a WMC in the next village that’s only just started to have bands back on after a couple years hiatus. It was about 2/3rds full which was nice as it’s a big old place and even 50 people would have made the place look empty. Quite a few people were non regulars who’d seen us at other places in West and South Yorkshire so that was appreciated. One guy brought a small entourage and a selection of wigs and hats in line with our glam theme that he let the masses wear. All in all a decent night, paid more than agreed and promises of more gigs. Next week it’s the middle of Hull….
