[quote name='andyonbass' post='371590' date='Jan 6 2009, 06:51 AM']Have you got a cash price in mind for the status? I have the fretted version in the same colour and I reckon the missus wouldn't notice!! :brow:[/quote] Thanks but actually I think Im going to try and hang out for a trade at this stage.

Hi Ive got a handsome Yamaha BB5 (active) and lined fretless Status up for grabs. Ideally would like to trade both for a Yamaha TRB5 or possibly even TRB6 if there are any going. But generally Im open to good active 5 strings. The Yam is light blue and theres pics to follow. The 'Shark' is black and wonderful! Status told me it was the last one made when they sent it to me back in 2004... so its a pretty rare beast. Let me know if you have any questions.

[quote name='ashevans09' post='368908' date='Jan 2 2009, 10:12 PM']Heya, What string spacing is this beaut?[/quote] measured rather crudely with my old plastic He-Man ruler from primary school is seems to be 2cm between the middle of the strings at the bridge. 1cm at the nut.

amplifiers can make sounds louder

[quote name='Bigwan' post='368006' date='Jan 1 2009, 07:53 PM']Hi Sharkey, It's those girlie guitar player fingers you've got! I wish I could mate but I've had quite a few basses through my hands this past year and am left with a few I'd need to part with before I could even entertain 'mates rates'! Unless I could interest you in a MM Bongo 5HH as part exchange (you'd be able to manage a 5 string with spacing like this - it's about the only reason I'm looking rid of it. I've hands like me ole da's!) It's a pretty rare bird this one. Only 23 like it. It's a Lakland Syline JO, but it's ltd ed in Sherwood Green with matching headstock. It came with an East J-retro pre as standard, but I've it set up all passive at the minute. I don't like taking it out of the house in case something happens to it so I got a 55-01 in the post on Christmas Eve that i'll use for gigging. [url="http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Bigwan2062/Lakland%20pics/"]http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Big...Lakland%20pics/[/url] I've played a few Moon basses (mostly on trips to The Gallery in Camden) and I've yet to play one I didn't really like! Good to speak to you![/quote] What? The Gallery have Moons?! Ive been searching the earth for one and the Gallery is 10mins from my house! I must go tomorrow, I havent been in years since they fitted a Marcus Retro to my MMV. I dont have a mad desire for the Bongo Im afraid... Ive decided I cant live without the block inlays. Ive just become aware of the Fender Deluxe Jazz FMT, which looks class but is pretty pricey. If you have any blocky recommendations send em this way!

[quote name='Bigwan' post='367236' date='Dec 31 2008, 05:00 PM']Hey Sharky! Phil told me you had a Bacchus. Good luck with selling it - if I hadn't spent a clean fortune this year I'd be interested in it myself! Hope London's treating you well. Richard's a decent chap that I know of old guys and he certainly knows his gear. Cheers Ian Coulter[/quote] Cheers Ian, yea its a wicked bass but Im just not man enough for it Sure I cant tempt you? We could discuss 'mates rates' and Id like to see it go to a good home. I understand youre rockin a Lakland these days, got any pics? Going to go with a 4 stringer for a while and experience playing without hand cramps! Got my eye on a nice Moon JB4. Keep her country!

[quote name='paul h' post='353758' date='Dec 13 2008, 06:02 PM']Just added the potential sweetener of a BB614 for the right combo...and sneakily bumped in the process.[/quote] Sounds good, I'll trade you my RB7 for those if you like... I'll even drive up and meet you!
