    There's a Leeds Road and a Park Road in Ilford (greater London as said), but not that close as they are distant from each other for around 5 kilometers, so can't be at the back of Mercedes show room.

    Very nice indeed.

    Shuker = Bentley : you know that typical English design which won't make you buy one until you try one. Burns = Toyota Prius : as ugly as can be. Leduc = Rolls Royce : try one, you'll understand. Fender = Nascar : only can do one thing quite right. Wal = Ferrari : way far too expensive, especially when second hand and so old school designed. LeFay = Porsche : inventive design and clever approach, expensive too. Fodera = Corvette Stingray : you know that American way of life with all the shining and non sense features to raise the bill.

    Not Overkill, but as @Osiris already wrote Hooverkill !

    Lucky men, you @police squad and Robert Fripp.
  8. Hellzero

    Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use. FOR SALE OR TRADE (a 4 strings lined fretless with same retail value would be perfect, but hit me with your proposals). Ultra mega rare STATUS Electro II 6 Jonas HELLBORG personal model, only 2 known basses made !!! The specifications : 32 3/9 " scale (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself). 26 frets with zero fret. 1.5 mm action under the C string up to 2 mm under the B string 14 mm strings spacing at the Status Electro bridge (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself). 8 mm at the graphite nut. 1 double action truss rod (beware as it's a typical English left screwing model). 3 bass Gotoh tuners on the bass side + 3 guitar Gotoh tuners on the treble side. Woven graphite neck with Rosewood fretboard. The semi-solid body with a single 'F' hole has a double size two-piece mahogany back with a red coloured veneer and book-matched Rosewood facing. Acoustic chambers are machined into the mahogany before the top is glued on : this allows the body to resonate and create a warmer, more "open" response. 1 Status Hyperactive humbucker really close to the bridge (as wanted by Jonas HELLBORG himself) + 1 piezo pickup under the saddle in the bridge with balance, master volume (20 detent positions), treble cut/boost for magnetic and treble cut/boost for piezo (like on all Electro II series). Weight 5.2 kilos (not that heavy for 2 bodies glued together). Delivered in original Status gigbag. Equipped with Thomastik JR round wound nickel strings (029 - 043 - 051 - 068 - 089 -118). Satin finish for the body and thick glossy finish for the neck. Delivered to Jonas HELLBORG in November 2001. Set up by Christophe LEDUC. It is the rarest Status bass ever, completely original and never modified. Official price today will be more than £4500 GBP is you can get one made. Asking price is £3000 GBP due to the extreme rarity of this bass. Here a link to a translated Japanese web site where the other one is pictured : https://translate.google.be/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fakelasbass.blog134.fc2.com%2Fblog-entry-6.html&edit-text=&act=url. The pictures to see the real condition, which shows only some very little wear with three "marks" on the headstock where the finish is altered like often on graphite necks, so two cracks in the thick glossy finish on the left and right side of the headstock over the tuners plus scratches under the E string on the face of the headstock :

    Don't pay, a bass is more useful.
  12. Hellzero
    On hold.
  13. Hellzero
    Superb instrument. GLWYS or GLWYT.

    If you have the money and the back, go for Glockenklang. I have used their gear, and now I'm playing an AER BassCube, because it's quite light and ultra powerful for broken backs.

    @chrisbass13 go there to see one :

    Using active set-up with a passive bass could be an answer, even if you don't want one. And it's very fair from you not to modify other bass players amp set-up : that's so rare.

    First kisses, then there it goes :

    Status with a BendWell will be a 32" scale and lots of them have 16.5 mm strings spacing at the bridge. The Fender Stu Hamm was 32" scale too, but with standard strings spacing. My Alpher was 33" scale with 16.5 mm strings spacing. ACG or any other real luthier can make you wathever you might want. I recognise that those medium scale basses are a delight to play.

    You are right, Trash Metal like Heavy Metal was awful in the 80's : certainly the worst recordings ever, absolutely crap sounding, totally lacking inspiration and, even worst, dressed like sissies. And I was more on the metal side in the early eighties than on the jazz scene.

    Or simply use your fretless the way it's built :
  22. Hellzero
    Or the Neuser Fretless System aka NFS :

    Try this, the Mikey convertible basses :

    After having owned truckloads of Fender's, I can't simply play on these planks. That's the problem when you've played some real luthiers basses. Sad news, but awfully true.
