  1. Yes I understand WHY mods exist but having owned SR5s in the past it's never occurred to me on any them to change out the neck. I ask to understand WHAT the "improvements" if any are. Your response to @roger highlights and answers my question. Can I ask why then you still prefer wooden necks? I learn a lot from this forum being far from an expert 👍If I have any "issues" with SR5s it's the narrow (to me) string spacing,the necks always felt great.
  2. I've watched about 3 videos including this one. They sound REALLY good 👍
  3. These look amazing to me. The fact that I'm a fan of 47mm nut width and 19mm bridge spacing means I'll stick with my current Jazz 5 string (for now)
  4. This would do well in the Bass Picture Funnys thread 😂
  5. Do you have any specifics by any chance? Tried Google but nothing so far...
  6. Thanks for the response. I'll go online and see if I can dig anything out. My fretting hand is fussy with regards to radii,prefers flat or close to it.
  7. Please forgive my ignorance but I know nothing about Status necks. Do you happen to know the fretboard radius measurement on them? What's the story with sticking them on Stingrays,I've seen it before and genuinely curious 🙂
  8. I would say it's not priced too cheaply for a US model. It's in the correct ballpark based on other examples I've seen.
  9. Interestingly I was browsing in Anderton's just today and tried a few basses. Long story short I couldn't wait to get back home to play the gear I already own. Basically I agree with you 👍
  10. Oh really? I had no idea. That's a shame...😪
  11. I sent you a link to a Japanese Fender currently in stock at Guitar Guitar to give an indication of price compared to a US made example.

  13. Hmm not sure the Chelsea clientele would agree...
  14. Incredible isn't it? Imagine paying more for a brand new vehicle that's been dented and scuffed from the factory (for example) 😊
  15. EBMM producing a wider necked Stingray 5 complete with 19mm bridge string spacing. Oh and theres not enough maple fretboard on natural bodied basses (black pickguard optional) to my liking.
  16. This is such an amazing colour. Shame it's not a 5 string. When you say you "needed a 4 string" for a specific gig was it a visual thing and/or part of a tribute act? Just curious 😊
  17. It's @bassjim that needs convincing 🙂
  18. Put your offer back in my friend. As @Freddi375 has stated this is all the way American. I've had one.
  19. PM sent.
  20. The Gallery in Camden north west London. Does it have to be west London specifically?
  21. Thanks for doing that. G to B looks like 76mm from the shots. And the nut width also please? I'm expecting that to be about 46mm?
  22. Jimmy don't shout at me but can you please measure the overall distance between the B and G strings down by the bridge saddles? 😉 Oh and the nut width please.
  23. So is it volume pan and bass and treble controls? Is there a push-pull brightness feature as I've seen on some Overwaters?
  24. Signature sound I would have to say no as none of my 4 basses sound the same. With regards to this specific question it has to be my Broadneck Warwick Thumb 5 no matter which strings or amp it goes through. I had to "learn" it's ergonomic profile however but the sound is totally worth it to my ears.
  25. Ok cool. Whenever you have time thanks 👍
