But in 1996 Status Mande an all Graphite Buzzard which was absolutely killer, and completely ripped apart the old boat anchors previously made both in weight and tonally with it’s pre-amp. After JE’s passing the family estate did initially give permission for Status to keep making the bass, however Warwick purchased ‘the rights’ From his son (I think) and ordered Status to smash the moulds and never make it again- now we are left again with the boat anchor POS basses the Warwick versions are. In short, Warwick may have Carved JE’s design, Status (at JE’s bequest) took it to the stratosphere and made it probably one of the best basses ever, Warwick then destroyed anyone’s chance of owning a superb bass and simultaneously produced a complete pile of tripe, just another of example of HPW’s fine moments of which there are many.....

Status Buzzard bass to make just one major eff up

It looks like the spawn of Aquaman and Avatar

I am a fan of full disclosure always

Cheap as chips.......

Fender P bass lyte Is also Pretty sleek

Also the Spector Doug Wimbish if it’s an accurate representation of his own bass will be very very slim - He had Stuart Spector shave it to within an inch of its life when doing it for him

Sandberg MarloweDK is even slimmer at 37mm at the nut and slimmer all around Status Graphite Jazz replacement neck is also on the sleek side

Could be a long day, but that term was hated at the time, so it’s not even de-riguer, it’s just de-riguerogatory. But we should get back to the music

It was obviously post war, UK rock wasn’t called Pommie or Limey rock, USA rock wasn’t called Deep fried fatties rock, The German artists as a collective did not like the label, therefore it’s offensive. I guarantee it was not said in an endearing way.... To also bundle everything into the ‘rock’ category is pretty lazy as there were elements or rock, prog, electronic etc

Shame that - would have been a result if they had messed that up as well!

Was the bass exchanged or do you have 2 for the price of 1?

Derogatory term given by the British to a very wide genre of music that all the artists hated being called. one such band example is Kraftwerk

MXR Bass chorus Deluxe is not only about the best chorus on the market but it has a flanger built into the pedal too which is good and easy to use. Option if you needed both

Good work and very well done - it’s so much fun

I get your point - I certainly didn’t think of it as a gift - he works for it

Jason’s a great bassist. Metallica hit on a style at the right time and it went nuts, they stick to the formula, and why not?! I remember my mates going to the snake pit tour when we were at school and declared Metallica the greatest band ever. A few weeks later I persuaded them to come with me to Alice In Chains in the Dirt and Facelift albums era - they dropped Metallica like a hot potato. Trujillo is supremely talented, apparently when he got the gig an instant cool million dollars went into his account - good on him, he deserves it, Infectious grooves was a very cool band. He kept this talent asleep till he was firmly on the mix, and does make the others look a little stodgy.....

Or KMA audio machines The Tyler

Yep Bass I got a while ago with them on got them moved off very quickly for the same reason

Solid excellent choices From the above 2 chaps

Sandberg shop online has em, think there is one on reverb too selling them. Depends if you want generic or sandberg ones - generics you’ll just have to measure the shaft sizes and you’ll get them from most parts places, probably even Amazon
