Hi all, I’m interested in doing a status stingray build, anyone out there done one? Reservations are the cost of the neck and drilling the expensive neck 🤷‍♂️😆

Ahhhhhh gotcha👍 I’ve always fancied doing a status neck build but the drilling would scare the s**t out of me! Thanks for your kind offer

Can you post a pic of the heel of the neck pls, to show how you drilled and threaded inserts, looks great btw👍

Have you drilled the neck yet? Are you putting in screw inserts?? cheers

Hi all, what’s the best P bass for under £1k, American AVRI? does the 62 AVRI have a shallow neck?had a nice CIJ reissue I shouldn’t of let go😕 Mebbe in the market for one, gotta be sunburst/RW

Looking to maybe buy a tascam bass trainer, are they any good? Is there an equivalent app? (Ideally to take tunes from Spotify) any info would be greatly appreciated cheers

1. Original steinberger 2. custom shop relic P bass 3. Sunburst stingray build with status neck or neck through S2 ........I think😆

Sorted & ordered, thank you👍

Who and where are MSL? cheers

Cheers Martin, hoping a S/H will come up now, not keen on new at 300! (Got a budget)

Hey thanks

Looking for a little bit more than my ashdown tour bus 15, Im looking to pick up an 801 (S/H) I like the simplicity of it (and of course size) just for jamming/get togethers & home practice, other thoughts guys? thanks

Excellent

Ok ok, You got me, that’s quite cool👍 Out of interest so you play a Wal?

4000, so you really believe Wal make everything? The bridge is probably cast by someone in slough, saddles turned by a small engineering firm up the road and assembled by Wal, I think the tuners ate Schaller? The knobs are injection moulded from anywhere etc etc (I’ll give you the electrics though👍😆) Wal use lovely looking bits of wood though, but then so do the guys on the forum that make their own wonderful basses too, it aint hard to source a nice bit of wood👍 I used to own a couple of very expensive early panerai watches, I loved them but over the years thought about it and it came to me that the movement was a $300 generic ETA (modified and engraved by panerai) with is what the majority of what we think of as ‘high end watch makers’ use,

I would love to try one, see what it’s all about👍

I have never played a Wal and the only urge I’ve ever felt to own one is because of its value (sad I know!) I’m sure they play great but what I struggle to get a grip of is they’re just ‘bolt on’ and the headstock isn’t even ‘angled’ back, cosmetic maybe but that doesn’t justify the prices, whereas if you look at something like a NT thumb bass, it looks stunning👍 And probably at least half the value of a Wal (S/H) construction/cosmetics wise the thumb appears a better buy (btw, haven’t played one of those either 😆)
