    Need to sort this one way or the other now, so it's up at £1000 FINAL. If it sells good, if not I'll press this awesome Jazz into use and forget about the Rick for a while.

    I'm so glad that there's absolutely no way I can quickly get the money together for this!

    Something has caught my eye so I'll offer this at £1050 posted until the window of opportunity closes. Still Would be interested though in a trade of a nice Musicman Ray Classic or Rick 4003 with cash your way......

    Seriously nice.....if my Jazz ever sells then.....

    That's a thing of beauty right there Pete. An excellent price for a very honest pre EB from the decade when taste was in short supply. Deal with confidence with this man - he knows his Rays.

    Hi NGH, it is exactly the same, but not the same bass.....the chrome ware has never been mounted on this one. I believe it originally came from darn sarf. Great photo though.....wish I had the gift!

    3/4 years ago I had an episode of 'frozen shoulder/neck' on my left side. Really couldn't stand for any length of time with a standard 'Fender Styled' bass. I ended up buying a Status Streamline - the combination of lightness and the fact that I could position the neck at any angle and it would stay there worked well for me. After about 3 months the problem subsided so i was able to go back to Fender/MM but I still tend to use the Status on longer sets.

    IMHO, if the neck needed a lateral shim to bring it into alignment I would return it. If just loosening off and 'tweaking' which you could do while adjusting the rod then do it - you've nothing to lose (just be careful that you don't knock any paint chips out of the pocket as the shop keep may spot this and whine if you end up returning it).

    Forgot to mention, the bass comes with the original G & G case which is in very good condition.

    Cheers Guys, Got to admit it is the nicest Jazz I've owned. If it sells Shem I'll give it some thought.

    Saw them when they did the Penthouse and Pavement tour a couple of years back.....you're in for a treat!

    I've had an ad lurking amongst the 'Items Wanted' for a while for a Rick 4003 without luck so I thought I'd go for a sale p/ex with my FSR Fender Jazz. I've had the bass a while but despite me loving the sound of it I'm not really using it in the bands I'm currently playing in. I hate leaving good basses sitting in the case for too long so....... This is a Fender Special Run 2002 US made 75RI Jazz bass in great condition one of about 200 that were made in CAR. If you do a search of these basses on here you'll find they have near legendary status and are considered pretty much custom shop quality. It comes with all the original case candy (with exception of the curly lead); the pup and bridge covers are mint and have never been mounted on the bass. For a straight sale I'm looking at £999. I would prefer a trade for a Rick 4003 in similar condition (i.e. excellent) with the appropriate cash adjustment. For some reason photo uploads don't seem to be working at the moment - I'll attach when this is sorted.

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1356010731' post='1905649'] Very funny. I did try it out. And, although it still works, I doubt I'd buy another Status. Things have not gone well with that bass, and I have neither the time, fuel money, inclination or funds to undo them. That, and it's missing a string. Though I doubt it'd do well as a fiver, seeing as the 4 seems to lack bottom end clout. Most expensive bass I buy? On paper the best. In reality, sitting in a cupboard. Unloved and unsaleable/untradable. Even I f*** up sometimes. [/quote] Just shows how different we all are, one mans...and all that. I find a Streamline has oodles of bottom end through a Barefaced Compact. Have to agree on the Kingbass though....

    As with others comments, lovely tone on that George, nice to see one being being played finger stylee. Not helping the resurgence of my Rick GAS.
  22. martthebass
    Had one of these myself, regarded by Sterling himself as the best Stingray EB have ever made. £900 for a bass that's better than a new Classic Ray.........
  23. martthebass
    Still looking for a Squier CV jazz or similar......happy to add some cash into the deal :-)
  24. martthebass
    All, the best George, sorry to hear about your problem, if I had £1500 etc.....unfortunately stuff isn't moving quick and I think it would take a few weeks to shift my AVRI Jazz
  25. martthebass
    Try for another bump. I've had a few requests for a 'sale' price. Undecided on this option as yet because I think it's probably better to part out than sell whole.
