[quote name='synaesthesia' post='92976' date='Nov 22 2007, 08:17 PM']He doesn't. The signature basses were the CS and the Lemmy. The rest of the signature series were guitars and RIC no longer makes Signature instruments, at least for now. They are a very stubborn corp. and will remove dealership rights from a dealer if they get crossed. BTW, there were only 50 Lemmy signature basses made and I do imagine he gave them some grief in the production process.[/quote] MB1. Only FIFTY?....I wonder how many of those basses are actually in use?(probably all in bank vaults). Dont tell Old Horse!..... his mrs 'll kill him! .....................with his luck he'll probably find one!.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='92372' date='Nov 21 2007, 09:08 PM']No mate, you're definitely not out of your mind. Once you've had a Status, you'll never look back! Although I've just sold my KingBass V, I'm off to visit Rob & Dawn at Colchester in a couple of weeks to pick up one new Status & order another. I've been a Status player for 19 years & always will be. Once you've had that ease of playing & the amazing graphite 'growl', you'll be hooked! I had an S2000 for a short time many years ago, and it was not unike the current all-graphite Stealth model. Amazing to play & very fast! There's a stealth headed on the forum for sale. That's more of a modern equivalent with the same basic sound, just different electronics. Although I love my wooden basses, there's something about a Status. Playing my wooden basses is nice enough, it's just like driving around in your Mondeo when you know you have a Ferrari in the garage [/quote] MB1. Bang! goes me bookend, Not to worry!, still got one Ferrari in the Garage......i wouldnt drive anything else!

[quote name='Steve Lawson' post='92954' date='Nov 22 2007, 07:38 PM']By 'named' I just meant 'mentioned in the list of players in the quoted text... Steve www.stevelawson.net[/quote] MB1. Ive seen,heard and Emailed you before,just pulling ya leg! Steve.

MB1. Named player eh?......will check out your website!.....Never heard of you!

[quote name='paul, the' post='92043' date='Nov 21 2007, 10:59 AM']Fair enough. I mean busted then. yea, sure.[/quote] MB1. Mcfly and Busted? is there a difference?.......Ashdown and Mesa Boogie isnt it?

[quote name='bremen' post='92005' date='Nov 21 2007, 09:44 AM']Or at least load up a few washing machines...[/quote] MB1. Did Rush not do a gig in Dot Cottons Launderette?

MB1. Dread Zeppelin......All i want for christmas (is my two front teeth) The Goons.............Im walking backwards for Christmas! Bing Crosby and David Bowie.....Little Drummer Boy?. Wizzard.....I wish it could be Payday Everyday! Sir Cliff.....Mistletoe and Sue Barker. Old Git Wins!.....hands down!

[quote name='OldGit' post='92808' date='Nov 22 2007, 03:40 PM']I nominate Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. Excellent bass by Tracy Wormworth. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_WH4heId4&feature=related"]YouTube: no vid but good sound[/url][/quote] MB1. Godammit!.....Old Git.... pipped at the post! just what i was gonna say. Martha and the Muffins... Echo Beach........... nothing to do with christmas whatsoever!well at least i didnt mention NODDY!

[quote name='Ou7shined' date='Nov 22 2007, 05:14 PM' post='92880'] [b]Darn it! It sold on the Bay. [/b] MB1 : That's something I've wondered about. Is there a scientific reason to have the 1x15 on the floor? Obviously if Mr. Nimrod does that he'd have his amp in the middle which would look kinda odd. MB1. He'd have to take the wheels off the 4x10 but he could start a totally new trend?.......They have mid engined cars! David....I have the 2x10H version of your combo.....Great combo.

[quote name='Ou7shined' date='Nov 22 2007, 05:32 PM' post='92891'] I can achieve that with my grannies turnip broth. MB1. Ive heard about your grannies turnip broth and im in Manchester!........... a fine trouser flapper but nothing whatsoever to do with bass guitars or amplification!

MB1. What a delightful breath of fresh air this has been!, on what today seems more like The SHUKER Build Diaries!

[quote name='David Nimrod' date='Nov 22 2007, 03:21 PM' post='92794'] You can see what I use ;-) The 1 x 15" combo was livened up no end by the addition of a 4 x 10" You *will* get the full 575w out of the combo, it *will* be louder too! So the the combination of 15" and 10" drivers covers all the bases ;-) MB1. I personally prefer my 15 on the floor and my 10s on top (just noticed your avatar pic). Is that the 575 Evo 2 1x15 combo?.

MB1. An 8X10 is a very spinal thing i find!.....you either want one or you dont! portability,physical agility( and your own van? )should be a decisive factor,when even whispering the Roadies misfortune that is the 8x10! A ...4x10 and a 1x15 ....if you have to!

MB1. Find out as much as possible about the repair!.If the seller knows nothing , leave well alone,if youve still got GAS for the bass? get the owner to take the strings off it and see what the neck does,.Replace the strings......the action should be exactly the same as before when retuned .I personally wouldnt pay that sort of money for a sabre.Knowing what you know already, i think this price is too steep!.

MB1. Bit Babooshka....ish this!...do they send it to you in a Cardboard Box?.Good for busking in Sunny Mancunia?.I think the only bass ive seen recently and thought i could make one of those myself?...... and it just might work(and be usable!),has gotta be!......Les Claypools one string Whamola bass!.
