    Hurrow all I've decided that this could do with moving on, I realise that it's not worth much to anyone but me seeing as it's been a project bass for around 8 years haha. You may remember it from these two threads: [topic="5336"]Main Build[/topic] [topic="60626"]Jazz Pickup addition[/topic] Spec is: Body - Pearl White (has a nice 'sheen' to it). Alder (I think), it's certainly comparable in weight to my Alder bodied US Jazz (could double check for sure somehow) Neck - Maple Allparts Jazz neck with S9 serial Fender decal Tuners - Gotoh standard Fender replacements Bridge - Generic Fender style Pickgurard - Generic 3ply W/B/W Pickups - one Dimazio Model P & one Dimarzio Model J Electronics - CTS mini pots and all well shielded [url="http://img188.imageshack.us/i/15092009612.jpg/"] [URL=http://img142.imageshack.us/i/15092009613.jpg/][/url] [url="http://img134.imageshack.us/i/15092009615.jpg/"][/url] So yeah, it is what it is, a very solid and substantial bass, without being heavy (around 9lbs). A couple of dings on the body which I can photograph closer if necessary, but nothing you would see from a distance. Neck is in mint condition. [b]SOLD[/b] Cheers Si

    I still maintain that Andrew Borger is one of my faves, he really plays around with this song whilst keeping the groove! Si

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='631353' date='Oct 20 2009, 02:23 PM']Hi Si, well done on the job front. Save your money, you have some wicked basses already.[/quote] You are of course right, I have some lovely basses, three in particular. But there are two that could get replaced by even lovelier ones. My Drop C OLP Stingray and my parts P/J are both currently not Jazz Basses lol, something needs to be done :-P [quote name='GreeneKing' post='631355' date='Oct 20 2009, 02:24 PM']Good news Si. Will you get a trade discount?[/quote] I should think so, although like I said, they don't really carry a lot of stock, so I'm not sure what's available to me....I know they deal with Fender time-to-time Si

    ....in a guitar shop....pretty small one, but it's a wage! Over the last few weeks (while the job has been pending), I've been window-shopping my non-existing pay packets on the following: - Custom Shop Fender Jazz - Status Vintage GP - a lightweight backup amp Fortunately all of this is looking a lot more likely now .............now do I put in the order for the CS!? Si
  9. Sibob
    Anyway Does anyone have any pics or info about the line of Jazz & Precision style basses that Status used to do? I'm talking about the line that preceded the current 'Vintage' line! Any ideas? Cool Si
  10. Sibob
    Hahahahaha, was literally just checking this thread again and my Sister pops up on facebook telling me to watch this: Hehe Si
  11. Sibob
    Check the 'Online Shop' section of: [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html"]http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html[/url] Si

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='630590' date='Oct 19 2009, 06:10 PM']My other issue is that if you sell a custom...you never usually get the value back that it should retain.[/quote] Yeah but that's the same with any bass guitar, or instrument in general, that isn't a vintage Fender lol Si
  13. Sibob
    I assume this is a MIM? Si
  14. Sibob
    My Grandma lives in Thorrington, I was born in Clacton and I went to the Colne High School in bsea! Hurrah! and erm......just sent an email to Status about the 'Vintage' series....oooops Si

    Whats wrong with it? Si
  17. Sibob
    Yeah Bsea is really nice, whenever I go back for christmas, so for 4 or 5 days, I always get very very sleepy haha! But yeah, back on topic, maybe I should start looking at Statii lol, I think my tone GAS is cured with my Jazz basses.....but there's always 'Sexy Bass' GAS haha Si

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='629389' date='Oct 18 2009, 12:28 PM']If you're heading to Status, best to phone and let them know you're coming. Then they'll be ready for you....[/quote] hehe!! I'm also from Colchester.........well...Brightlingsea, but again, consider Colchester as 'my town'. Big Colchester United fan too My parents still live there, so I get back every now and then, and always visit the Bass Merchant when I do. I really like the idea of owning a Status, home-town styley, will have to get around to trying one at a gig! Si

    "T-Mobile have told me to start this myspace, so I have" ....is what it should say lol good luck to him Si
  20. Sibob
    Great video, I love Meyer's playing
  21. Sibob
    You don't actually seem to be selling this! So off to 'Bass Guitars' Si

    [quote]Not even slightly... you're in the middle of a gig and you want to adjust your volume. How do you do it without screwing up the blend? Don't tell me to turn both equally.... I won't believe you laugh.gif Or.. ditto... how to adjust the blend without screwing up the volume. You can't! It's a ridiculous arrangement.[/quote] Amps have volumes that are perfect for turning up and down! I actually treat my Jazzes as just having blends, my bridge is always maxed and I blend in the neck to suit. General volume is an amp thing, I rarely have to adjust mid-gig, and dynamics between different types of songs is in my fingers. Si

    [quote name='markl' post='626732' date='Oct 15 2009, 10:14 AM']Another reason I got the Deluxe - one volume control.[/quote] Surely this is the same? 2 volume knobs or 1 volume & 1 blend same thing! And if you don't have a tuner that mutes your signal......that's your fault lol Si
  24. Sibob
    The neck is a beaut to play, and the sound is incredibly punchy! It's a bargain for the price for sure Si
  25. Sibob
    A modern Dimarzio will have it written on the casing/cover. I don't think the earlier ones did though!? Si
