Actually Mick, you're right, it's underpriced mate

Yes and no. It's underpriced if it could sell at a higher price, but having sold a few modified/unoriginal instruments over the years (for example numerous Fenders with Warmoth necks, two EBMMs with Status necks), they never pull the value that they really should command as instruments. To me the Status neck is a significant and substantial upgrade on the factory original, to others it's s deviation from originality that probably removes half the market for the bass. The problem with listing it much above this is that people start to haggle, and that frankly is not worth the extra £100 or so it might, but might not, bring in! But in all honesty, to see this bass at this price at a point in time at which I've had to sell my Modulus Flea and have no money, breaks my heart

Only bass better at what that’s bass does is a Modulus Flea

Tell me about it mate, they were the holy grail not that long ago. In fact they're still very good units, great shame that equipment become redundant these days not because of wear and tear or malfunction, but simply because of software conflicts. The pre-amps and circuitry is are as good as those in plenty of current units.

I remember buying both of these as if it was yesterday, how the hell are they now considered vintage! I'll add specifications and review below. Both are great units for what they do. Both are however big, and I mean big. But they are also pleasingly solid, and compared to the interface I've replaced them with, they are very satisfying to use (I've now got this from Avid https://www.thomann.de/gb/avid_artist_mix.htm which feels like I'm using a kindergarten toy by comparison). They are both in fully working condition, but whether they will work with your software/hardware is not a discussion I can get into, they both worked perfectly with my 2010 iMac running Pro Tools until I had to update the software to run an RME interface, and whilst there are workarounds, it really wasn't wasn't worth my while testing them. £60 each or £150 the pair. Only joking, £100 the pair. I have no idea why you would buy the pair, but hey, not for me to judge

I spent a bit of time researching the best mid-budget rackmount compressor for bass and this kept coming up. However, having bought this, and as the result of Covid, I'm now spending most of my time on voiceovers so bought an Avalon 737 which is great for both vocal and bass so this really isn't being used. I paid £325 for the unit newly refurbished, a steal at £225 Chris
