  1. Thenk's for all your help guys, I'll mull over it for a bit, it's got no routing so I might make up a small pick guard for the controls, it'll kinda match my 62RI Japan fretless jazz!
  2. [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1384692362' post='2279477'] It's basswood. Basswood doesn't have much in the way of a grain, so don't go too nuts with the sanding. [/quote] Hey thanks, that's kinda what I thought, I'm undecided at the mo as its in really good condition, just thought I'd put the question out there, I wouldn't touch the neck just the body Dodge
  3. Arghhhh why did i forget to say: "please don't say gig it for 20yrs"etc etc
  4. I've just purchased a nice silver series sunburst p bass and I wanted to give it a light relic look, does anyone know what the body wood is? I'm guessing the answer is 'basswood' but it feels so light! I just wondered if anyone would have an insight as to how it would relic? I would just like to dull the gloss finish with some minor sanding like a road worn, any help would be greatly appreciated. Dodge
  5. Hello, wiil they fit a jazz and would you take PayPal? Dodge
  6. If they drop onto my newly acquired suier p bass I'll have em! PayPal by any chance?? Dodge
  7. So are they classes as heavy gauge? Excuse my ignorance! How old are they? Rog
  8. just thought i'd post this (noticed it when i was sat avin' a pint on Saturday), might be of interest to anyone in or around this parish! http://www.thevicswindon.com/get/events rog
  9. Sorry fella but you've obviously never played one.The construction on every one I've ever owned has been totally faultless,the "plastic neck" is a joy to play,is even with no dead spots,and will stay rock-solidly in tune in the most demanding of gig temperatures.Undeniably superbly made instruments,whether you like their "styling" or not Yeh I've owned one and I loved it, I'm not saying it's not well made and I loved the styling I just think they're a bit overpriced as the thread was asking, sold it bought a stingray which was amazing (which has now since gone too!!!) mid life crisis maybe!
  10. Can't get my head round status, seems a lot of money for a plastic neck! Ok I'm sure there's more to it but when I read from various posts that the neck heel is hollow!
  11. Hey thanks for the offer, but it looks like it could be sold pending the usual
  12. From what I can see it looks like 45206, I think it's 95' (ish) Cheers
  13. Hi, I'm in Swindon, just off the M4, it's got the hiscox case it came new with
  14. Hello all, this is a feeler to see how much interest is out there (new job means I need to fund a new car) Musciman Stingray, natural/maple, 2eq, transition/flea bridge with new mutes, black & white genuine scratch plates, original receipt/paperwork, strap locks (original buttons & Allen keys) you would be hard pushed to tell this bass from brand new, I can't see a single mark on it! Lovely grain Sorry no trades unless you have a CIJ fretless jazz, sunburst £850 firm (purely because in don't really want to sell it but needs must:))) [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/dodger430/media/STINGRAY5_zpse3e4d255.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/dodger430/STINGRAY5_zpse3e4d255.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/dodger430/media/STINGRAY1_zpsc9ea0e52.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/dodger430/STINGRAY1_zpsc9ea0e52.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/dodger430/media/STINGRAY4_zps961beafa.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/dodger430/STINGRAY4_zps961beafa.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/dodger430/media/STINGRAY2_zps4397dee3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/dodger430/STINGRAY2_zps4397dee3.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  15. I've recently acquired a maple/natural stingray with a lovely grain to the neck, after picking up the bass again after 20+ years it's just something I had to have, ( kind of a mid-life crisis I guess), but wow what a stunning work of art this bass is, i dont even need to play it, i can just look at it!! now don't get me wrong I've owned a status but why would anyone want to mess around with an iconic bass such as a stingray? When you think of all the amazing baselines written/recorded on a stingray why would you change it? It's perfect, good enough for Bernard Edwards n'all that, I can't help thinking these status necks are more of an image thing, as said before does it really improve the bass? I can understand replacing a damaged neck but it's a lot of money for a piece of graphite, hey just my thoughts guys
  16. hello all, i've just picked up a nice 'Ray' with the transition bridge, has anyone fitted the mutes? i see Ernie Ball supply a kit for around 25quid but does it come with everthing? (springs/foam & screws) or does anyone know where else i could get some or even have any for sale? many thanks
  17. SOLD, thanks Macus and thanks Basschat
  18. humm, never really thought of it, not so sure i like the styling, its a stingray really i think, thanks for suggestion
  19. Hey thanks for your offer but it really was a stingray I was after, cheers tho
