Used it for the first time in anger last night and was really pleased with it ! Found it to be a bit 'growly' bit like a Warwick, but really comfortable to play. Didn't realise it's a 32" scale ! This looks liek a 'keeper' until something else takes my eye !! lol

[quote name='mrjim' post='878819' date='Jun 27 2010, 01:45 PM']Do cash converters expect you to haggle with them? I’ve occasionally seen a decent bass or two but it never occurred to me to haggle. Is there a percentage you can reasonably expect to be knocked off?[/quote] It was a gamble !!! I knew it had been in the shop for a while and they need to turn stock around. It was marked up when I first saw it at £399, when I saw it on Saturday is was up for £325. I just thought I'd make a cheeky offer of £290, the guy went to check with his boss and said they would take £295 !! I ummm'd and arrrd for a bit and said I'd think about it..... then he said he throw in a hardcase (as new) that another bass was sitting in. It was to good an offer to walk away from

If Ya Got 'em... Flaunt 'em.

Cant believe it.... went past tthe same crack converters today and the beast was still there..... so made them a offer !!! after a bit more haggling.. got them to throw in a hardcase they had in there and walked out of the shop with it for under £300. Plays really well and feels right... if you know what I mean. Will make a great 'Pub' bass

Is any one taking a Status Series 2, headless 5 along ?

Thanks Guys, sounds like it's going to be worth a try. Let you know how it goes

Hi fellow Bass Chatters..... Just discovered that John has just started making a 'P' bass Active System Have always fancied owning one of the Lakland Joe Osborns with the system fitted and tried to get hold of a DPLE last week without success ! So... might have to put one of these gizmos in the Duck Dunn ! Anyone out there bought / tried one of these ???

Can I say what a fantastic evening Victor gave us, His bass playing was amazing, but even better was about 90 mins on Q & A, on technique, practice and life ! My 13yr old came away a changed lad regarding his music studies. Many thanks to all those at DV, you did us proud

Hi and welcome.... I'm in Basildon (cant believe I admitted that !!)
