Are you taking any trades at all (my Ken Smith...)...if so, what's the spec on the Status?
Thanks

Sorry, I'm looking to sell, not trade.

[quote name='Sibob' post='15584' date='Jun 11 2007, 01:50 PM']Got any pictures of the Jazz with J-retro?
Si[/quote]
it's a late 80s/early 90s Jazz bass standard, which has extended cutaways and a 22 fret neck.
original plate/electronics plus bridge and pickup covers included, and a Fender gigbag.
the J-Retro was modded from new to sound like the preamp John makes for the Marcus Miller basses and has two-tone knobs (chrome and black)
this (shop) pic is from before the J-Retro and shows the covers
adding mass to the headstock can alter things too - [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/Catalogue/ViewProduct.aspx?productId=406"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/Catalogue/V...x?productId=406[/url]
[quote name='Sugden' post='12134' date='Jun 4 2007, 10:45 PM']Got to say i agree but you know that is the pic of a prototype which they probably chose the wood very carfuly, and maybe even made a few till they got one with such lovly grain that works with the shape. Im sure the production version will be quite hard to find with such a good looking grain patern.[/quote]
the production versions will be painted
[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='11559' date='Jun 3 2007, 09:16 PM']An attractive Bongo, at last! I wonder if the pickup settings have uneven output levels like the other HS basses made by Musicman?[/quote]
nothing wrong with my HS Bongo 4, I can assure you.
I think they were a bit like the Lakland Skylines, in that they were "made" in the US from parts that might actually have started life elsewhere (Mexico perhaps ? )
[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='7268' date='May 26 2007, 07:19 PM']Does anyone know of a system I can use to label the controls of my new custom rack mounted mixer? I guess the alternatives are
1) Opaque white marker pen
2) Plastic strip lettering (which looks tacky)
3) Engraving (at 50p a letter)
At the moment, I've used chinograph pencil but its not a permanent solution by a long way.[/quote]
paint pen ?

if you ever consider getting shot of that white Bongo, I'd appreciate a PM

I remember Steve Lawson showing me that the Hipshot (or equivalent) on his Modulus would go pretty low, can't remember if it'll go all the way to B without the risk of clashing with the next tuner though.
