  2. MB1. Blimey!... could you not sell something else?
  3. [quote name='lozbass' post='634650' date='Oct 23 2009, 05:32 PM']After promising for ages, I've finally managed to get some images of mine. This is a Series II, ordered by me from Sheffield Carlsboro Sound Centre and delivered in 1986 (Phil Oakey and his then partner - one of the HL singers - was in the shop when I visited to collect: they'd just finished a Saturday morning kids show on TV). It's number 251 and has a Padauk top. I used this bass for the second part of my 'career' (up until around '91). It is very heavily gigged but I looked after it so it's still in extremely good condition. The only signs of age are some greying of the lacquer at the sides of the fretboard (a bit of WD40 on the board helped with this but hasn't remedied it fully - thanks OTPJ!) The bass still plays beautifully and sounds thunderous (it's a Status!) Apologies for the poor quality of the images - my talent for photography is matched by that for playing bass[/quote] MB1. ...I say!... Green Machine Technology pickups too

  7. [quote name='ped' post='633472' date='Oct 22 2009, 02:52 PM']Well you'll never guess what. At EXACTLY 2.30 I had a call from Dawsons who have called Roland who have dispatched the 'correct' item to me for delivery tomorrow. Dawsons, in particular a chap called Alex, have been pretty good at sorting this aspect and Roland have been the ones dropping the ball. I am reassured that Roland have put their best people onto the case and I can see them now in some 9000sq/m warehouse looking for one last guitar pickup to tease me with. Like you said, it is almost funny. Luckily I am happy with everything I have and this kit is a non essential luxury which I am more 'getting round' to doing rather than something I am desperTe to get working so if they do send the wrong item again I think I actually will have to simply call and congratulate them. Everything crossed for me please folks! ped (thinking about taking up guitar)[/quote] MB1. Best of Luck! ...Oh i just cant Cant Wait!.... ....What are the chances eh?
  8. MB1. ...Minty Fresh!...and Mustard this!...Great Bass!...Great Price! .....Trust Me!...It's Free Fitting! BUMP!
  9. [quote name='bassfan' post='617729' date='Oct 5 2009, 06:02 PM']Hi all, I am in 2 minds as to whether or not to sell my Lakland JO USA (pics below). Mint condition. Some of you will have seen it before I am sure. It is a lovely Bass, a one off custom paint job, with the LED's on the neck, but I am not using it as it should be used and it is a lot of money to have sat around doing nothing! Would anyone be interested? Next question is how much... I have a figure in mind of around 1500 (bloody pound sign just packed up on the keyboard!!) Could also be open to exchanges - I am gasing for a Warwick Dirty blonde (4 string) Any Offers? [/quote] MB1. ..."Ive always been quite partial to a Dirty Blonde!.....Sorry!..i'll get me coat!" BUMP!
  10. MB1. ....Cut it in half and count the rings?
  11. [quote name='stingrayfan' post='631977' date='Oct 20 2009, 11:52 PM']Aaargh! This is the bass I lusted after when I was 15. Ended up with the natural one because it was cheaper. Must resist. [/quote] MB1. Looks Minty!.....Get it Bought!

  15. MB1. Great Little Rig!... The whole lot will fit in the back of a Ford Escort without putting the rear seats down! (purely to give you a idea of size!) ...I often miss mine! (...not the Ford escort! ).
  16. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='631487' date='Oct 20 2009, 04:29 PM']That's what I'm saying. There's a 4 banger on here for 50 quid more.[/quote] MB1. ...That ones worth the Extra £50.... Its Blue! if you havent tried one of these Tributes!...Do So!...Theyre Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaather Nice!
  17. [quote name='philw' post='631126' date='Oct 20 2009, 09:56 AM']Considering the Energy, like most Status basses, has a zero fret, that's a very odd thing to do to the nut. Looks to me, all that needs doing is the piece of wood removing. Phil[/quote] MB1. ...Haven't got the Energy!...Sorry!... I'll get me coat!. BUMP!
  18. MB1. ...Whos Musicman Ray? ...and does he believe in Black Man Ray? Sorry! I'll Get me Coat! ...China Crisis!.....Whatever happened to? Great Review Rich!

  20. [quote name='NickH' date='Sep 30 2009, 06:01 PM' post='613146'] Love the SmartBass body shape, contempory but not kooky like the S2 or bloaty like the KingBass (sorry to happy owners of said basses, they're just not to my taste... unto each his own) MB1. ....Bloaty Kingbass?....What you feeding it?
