[quote name='Marcus' post='449662' date='Mar 30 2009, 05:13 PM']Seems like every other day another shiny plank of graphite lovliness is up on the block here..... Has the Status resurgence fizzled out...... ? Are Status Basses once again out of vogue ?[/quote] MB1. I did warn ya Mark ! not to open that 2nd bottle of J.D!

[quote name='molan' post='449119' date='Mar 30 2009, 12:07 AM']This is really what does it for me when watching her play. Far too many of the, technically amazing, bass playing fraternity pulling serious faces whilst playing. She just always looks like she's having the greatest time on stage Not sure I could really listen to much of her stuff on cd though [/quote] MB1. .....Its all that .....Hi Ho Silver Lining!....everywhere you go!...

[quote name='Josh' post='449106' date='Mar 29 2009, 11:47 PM']I'm still finding it hard to see whats so spectacular about her playing. To my ear it just sounds like a modern take on Jaco, nothing ground breaking or new. Great tone though.[/quote] MB1. +1....Not Getting this either?

[quote name='birdy' post='371170' date='Jan 5 2009, 06:45 PM']Had a look and couldn't see a thread dedicated to SAD's and I have just got my 6th one (cheers Trev) and so thought I would start it with details of my new delivery. Sonic Blue MV5 with VTC soon to be fitted. Sounds and plays great, I think the quality of the metro range is improving over time although the ones I have had before were damn good. Here are a few pics, will post more of the old ones I have had later. In the meantime show us yours!!!

[quote name='Alun' post='448028' date='Mar 28 2009, 12:46 PM']I did laugh when I heard someone had been crossing out the C on some of the street signs [/quote] MB1. .....And the S's for a while it was known as " anal treet!"

[quote name='neilb' post='448016' date='Mar 28 2009, 12:31 PM']I don't think the 20 somethings of today can do [i]ANYTHING[/i] as well as their counterparts 20 yrs ago, whether it be socially, academically or whatever. If I could have a quid for everytime I hear a spotty oik say the word "like" in one sentence, I could avoid the recession altogether. eg. "Well, I was like walking down the road and this like, bloke came up to me and said like "Have you got the time please?" I thought , like, what? Like, Im the sort to wear a watch!"[/quote] MB1. No i dont like that either!...Doh!

[quote name='sweeneyjimbob' post='447658' date='Mar 27 2009, 07:38 PM']im a wee bit confused about it, does this make me a bit slow? does he want people to bid or is he just being an ass?[/quote] MB1. He just puts it on Ebay to have ago at the U.S shop that sold it him, its supposed to be a original CAR (Candy Apple Red) but it had been refinished.........He doesnt want you to buy it!..(least i dont think so?).... It's been on many times, so i gather he didnt get a refund.

[quote name='Protium' post='447473' date='Mar 27 2009, 04:27 PM']Avoid music ground on oxford road. Go to Johnny Roadhouse instead [/quote] MB1. Do Both!....there on the same road!.....get a pastie from Greggs! ....Try Dawsons!...............Cuts to ball of crabgrass rolling down a dusty deserted western town! ......Maybe Not!

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='447282' date='Mar 27 2009, 02:22 PM']Curry Mile..... my fave is "The Spicy Hut". Beware the rubber chicken however :-)[/quote] MB1. The Shahndar is rather good too!....No Rubber Chickens there!

[quote name='lozbass' post='447102' date='Mar 27 2009, 12:15 PM']I'd advise strongly against staying in Manchester at all if possible. However, if the stay is non-negotiable, you could do worse than a trip to: (i) Music Ground (on Oxford Road opp. the BBC building) (ii) Dawsons (music shop - on Portland Street opp. Britannia Hotel) (iii) Rusholme for a fantastic curry - Rusholme is just past the University area - around 40 restaurants on Wilmslow Rd (a continuation of Oxford Rd - see above) - my personal favourite is the Punjab Tandoori - excellent Dosas, Paneer Tikka, and Shahi Paneer. Prices are extremely reasonable (iv) URBIS gallery space - nice bar on the seventh or eighth floor - expensive but exclusive booze and a great view over the city (v) Chinatown for the best value lunch in the city - lots of restaurants around George St and Faulkner St in the city centre offering a three course lunch for £5.50 (vi) my house to buy one of the lovely basses I'm selling (Fender Jazz '76; Fender Jazz Masterbuilt fretless; Sei Jazz 4?) Good luck - pack a big umbrella and a stab-proof vest. Cheers, Lozbass[/quote] MB1. "You sure your not Gordon Burns?"......Brolly!...(Just in case!).... ....wearing a vest with shorts will definately get you noticed in the canal street area!

MB1. The Hohner neck is chunkier more rounded too,whereas the Status tends to be flatter backed and a much smoother feel.
