Meddle is a fine album. In fact Fearless is possibly my fave PF track (runs and hides ).

Congratulations. Great basses, I had one in the same colour. Just needs a black plate! 😎

Yes I’m aware of that (my CW build has been delayed by the Covid shutdown). I was just curious to hear of other members thoughts on the GP model(s).

Agreed. Very interesting, funny and quite shocking in places!

Many thanks. Very nice too 😍 The Status web site lists 2 different models (standard and artist), but the price list only shows the artist variety.

Thanks @Happy Jack. So I take it that was the GP Standard as opposed to the GP Artist (the artist is listed as having an 18v active pre)?

That's what I'm torn between at the moment. I had a Stingray with a Status neck a few years back and that was great. Then a few weeks back I saw the stealth P that @walshy had put together which looked stunning (he beat me to it otherwise I'd have bought the neck off here). I'm just curious what the semi-solid body and electronics bring to the party on the Vintage GP. I believe an active/passive switch can be fitted as a custom option.

Ah yes, the dungarees, the hair! How could I forget. 😂

I’ll look that up, thanks. 👍 Just to clarify, the Status that I have incoming is a CW signature model but I find myself thinking that a GP Vintage would also be a nice addition for when a more traditional look is required. 😁

I have a Status incoming soon (hopefully soon 🤞) but while I've been perusing the Status site I've become rather fond of the Vintage Gp Artist model (with the P neck option for me of course). I can find very little information/reviews/comments online about them other than a few snippets of Guy Pratt playing his. Has anyone here had one or have one and if so what were your thoughts? Cheers

Very true

Quite sad that he's having public rant about this really. I thought they'd kissed and made up (as much as they were going to do) and they were all going to coexist happily ever after. He does have a point about the Polly Samson content though. 🙄

Hi @jay42 IMHO the AH600 will give you more power than you'll ever need so unless you are wanting to run a stereo rig or play stadia without PA support, the AH1200 will give you nothing more than an extra 5kg to carry around (17kg for the AH600 vs 22kg for the AH1200).

Very true. I’ve had people coming up to me between sets horrified when they see the position of the gain knob, but that’s how it should be set.

Approximately 49kgs.

Is that the shallow (front to back) one, same depth as the combos? They’re pretty rare now. 2x10” and 2x5”

Just down to one geetar now, an '88 Strat Plus Deluxe bought used from Carlsbro in Nottingham in 1993. Now with nicely discolouring plastics!

As @TheGreek has said, there are are many different models and eras to choose from. If you're not wanting to go for one of the larger rather lovely UV lit 3U heads, my favourite 2U model is the AH250 GP12 SMX. Plenty of power, easy carry, a very (very) subtle valve in the pre, dual band compressor, pre-shapes 1 & 2 for blending in with the graphic and my favourite feature the EQ balance with which you can effectively 'tilt' the EQ with a simple turn of the knob to suit the room without having to mess with your graphic.

Beautiful bass, congratulations. That Zebrano top looks fantastic.

It seemed to be a pretty popular combination for many players for many years.
