Missed out on a Groove bass. Was gutted - then spotted @Geddys nose was flogging this. Been around the block a fair bit (think it’s been sold on basschat once and bass direct too...) So. Although I’d planned to not buy for a bit, this absolutely grabbed me so I had to chance my arm. East pre - the switch is a DFA remnant of the old status circuit. May look at remedying that. Light, a P neck, factory relic - which considering they’re not known for it is actually a good job. Clean down, restring, Set up...and will play Tonight when I’ve done my Sunday afternoon messing about.

Second time I’ve bought from Si - can’t believe I didn’t leave feedback for the first one 😳 Si is an absolute gentleman, straight down the line and a good chap to talk to. Both basses have been lovely - he knows his gear. Funnily enough I’ve spotted that at some point in the past he’s owned a Jack Casady which belonged to me...swings and roundabouts 😂 This actually stemmed from a sales post on Facebook, but we soon recognised each other and it was like talking to an old mate. Great stuff. Thanks mate.

Oh yeah. That didn’t happen due to a family commitment I’d forgotten (daughters wheelchair assessment). Meeting Aaron (a Guy I’ve worked with before) on Tuesday. He’s the front runner to be fair - I already know he’s up to the job, just depends if he’s up for it. -
Just get @KiOgon to make you a VVT loom - then You can keep the original wiring in the case should you ever sell.

Yup

Does anyone have a Status Guy Pratt signature bass?
AndyTravis replied to police squad's topic in Bass Guitars
@police squad will let you know tomorrow when mine arrives. -
Farida made the classic vibes (the originals), their FJB-6 is the same bass as the CV60 bass with a satin (and slightly slimmer 21 fret) neck. But all mentioned are lovely for not much cash. Theres a killer Yamaha BB424x in the for sale section here at £240 ish, which is madness.

The FJB-20 is a belter, they can be heavy. But you would struggle to find a better jazz for £250. Havent seen one of those Spectors for years, remember them being in the shops.

The rehearsal room have just bought an @Ashdown Engineering 414t cab. I now want one. Cannot believe a 410 is that light. -

I’ve been in a position to afford one plenty of times...not today, granted... Never wanted one. No real problem with them, just not on my list - like Ritter basses. I’m in the 1% too. Actually, that entire comment is an odd assumptive clause of nonsense. 😉 But - we get it, you like them, and fair play to you for that.

Bought recently because I’ve always wanted one. It came coated in dust and standing dirt with mucky strings. Took 2 hours of full disassembly and fret polish/oiled fingerboard/polish/clean... Just came at the wrong time and I absolutely don’t want to do it. I listed my Sadowsky and got a b*llocking off Everyone...the sale of that would’ve cleared everything. But that’s my baby. so I have to shift other stuff... Fuming...I might change my mind on this as I’ve never been so chuffed with a “budget” purchase...apart from my orange BB (yes, that one). Anyhow - mid 1990’s Korean - possibly a prototype but that’s conjecture from a US Aria distributor. Aria branded pickups, vol/tone/selector switch. Ash Body, maple 3 piece 24 fret neck with rosewood fingerboard. Nice angled headstock. Condition for age is mental - really clean, just a couple of light marks. Still has the plastic sheets on the back of the machine heads. Decent weight - is just under 9lbs. mad tort pickguard. Low action. Really playable...writing this and already thinking I’m stupid for this... Anyhow, a choice of 2 ratty gigbags - whichever suits. can ship, probably £35 insured in the UK. Collection Manchester (Swinton) would be best.
