    Cheers, but looking for a replacement jazz neck to fit and existing jazz body, think zoot is more about selling a complete bass.

    Now that Status is sadly downsizing their production, are there any other companies that specialise in replacement graphite necks? Years ago I had a moses jazz neck but couldn't live with the 7.5 radius. Can't help thinking there is now a big gap in the market for replacement graphite necks. Sourcing a used status jazz neck has proved impossible so far.

    Oh, if you ever decide to move the bass on, give me a shout🤣😂🤣

    Desperate to also source a status jazz bass neck, but so far, no luck 😭

    Tried everything but it's been highlighted elsewhere these basses are plagued with issues. Pickup upgrade only way to go.

    Thanks for the reply! The pickups and EQ are not the best, lots of hiss and volume cutting out. I have heard this is quite common for this model. It could be a great bass with the right pickups.

    Any recommendations for pickup and EQ upgrades for this bass? Obviously, the most cost effective the better 😄

    Can anyone recommend direct replacement bridges and pickups for these 2 basses? Has anyone done this? Also does anyone know if a standard Stingray 5 pickgaurd would fit the MB5?
  11. Brian18242
    As Status are no longer selling replacement Jazz necks, can anyone recommend another manufacturing selling in the UK?
  12. Brian18242
    GB4 coming in a little over £1100. I expect the GB5 not to be far off that. Hopefully the Elrick is under that price point
  13. Brian18242
    Very interested to see the price's against these.

    Maybe it's just me, but I think finished headstocks on maple fingerboards just don't look good?!? Thanks for all the info!
  15. Brian18242
    Oh, and does anyone know if the pickups can be replaced with soapbar pickups from nordstrand, Aguilar etc?
  16. Brian18242
    I plan to pick up a new squire contemporary bass once realeased but one thing......does anyone know a way to remove the paint off the headstock?
  17. Brian18242
    It will be very interesting to see what price these basses come in at based on the quality of the hardware alone! Sadly for me the 5 string won't be an option as it looks like another 19mm string spacing😭
  18. Brian18242
    I will be surprised if it comes in over the £1k mark. I have put on hold my next bass until more details are released😄
  19. Brian18242
    Not much info yet but take a look at the new Cort basses!
  20. Brian18242
    Sadly I cannot find anywhere stocking this bass as it may have been a very limited run
  21. Brian18242
    Just seen this online! Bass looks incredible! Just a shame I can't find anywhere online in the UK/ Europe stocking it 😭
  22. Brian18242
    Now offering free postage on item.

    Bought this bass last week direct from Mark Ramsay. For those that don't know, Mark is an incredible bass builder and his instruments are of the highest quality. This bass is no exception, but there are a few issues that you should be aware of before purchasing. I'm in no rush to sell and will happily hang on to bass if no interest. All sales are final with no refunds. Original hand-crafted instrument by Mark Ramsay (RMI). * 34" scale * 22 medium frets (highest quality 18% nickel-silver) - glued-in for optimal tone and attack * Compound 10" - 20" fretboard radius * 43mm-wide bone nut * 18mm strig spacing at the bridge (currently set as 17mm) * Hipshot Kickass premium bridge (outstanding attack & sustain) * Hipshot Ultralight Alloy 3/8" Y-key tuners * EMG active dual-coil humbucking pickup with coil-selection switch (parallel / series) Body is ash and neck wood is beech. No case or bag supplied. Goods will be very securely padded and packed. Please Read Truss road adjustment is limited due to incorrect fitting. This means that the string action is fixed into a medium / standard feel like a standard P bass. Still very comfortable to play. The bass could also do with a fret dressing as the frets do have some sharp edges. Will only ship to UK addresses. Postage is £25.

    If sale falls through let me know 😊
  25. Brian18242
    Did these basses not come fitted with an EMG pickup? I may be wrong on that? Do you still have the plastic control knobs? Thanks. B
