[quote name='Gilby' timestamp='1349626123' post='1828402'] Up to late nineties, affinities were full thickness bodies, string through, solid alder. The the big but with this one is that the traditional fender bridge is shorter than the squier ones. To retrofit a traditional plate you will leave three screw holes from the squier bridge that need to be plugged with dowels. Can't see that from these pics. In addition, the truss rod access is unfinished on an affinity but this one looks painted. Bit of a mystery body but if it sounds fine, who cares ? [/quote] Thanks for that info Gilby. A mystery indeed. But it does sound lovely. John

Hi, I'm not sure the exact model. But I'm pretty sure it's not an affinity as its string through body. But am happy to be corrected. John

This is madness! The Swiss Army knife of basses for £500, with money back guarantee!!

Where abouts are you?

That sir is a proper bass! Absolutely gawjuss...

Bump no1

If someone would buy my status 6 string I'd have this. Very much miss the Lakland Duck Dunn I had. They make superb necks. Oh we'll, at this price it'll be gone. I'd wish you best of luck with the sale, but you won't need it Karl. John

Thanks Andy.

Can't view the pics Andy...:-(

[quote name='Derek_Patey' timestamp='1348766332' post='1817970'] I've also got my MIA Fender Jazz up for sale. [/quote] WHERE??........ (You did say any questions plz shout) I'm after a USA jazz, so anymore details Derek would be appreciated. John

I have tried a couple of ERB's recently, to see if they're for me. But alas I've come to the conclusion that I've neither the time or inclination to get stuck in to the Stick or 6 string basses I've bought. What's more all the bands I play in are with old people like me, and their pacemakers need restarting everytime I turn up with anything other than a P. And I'm playing a lot more ....guitar....recently too. So, this Status Energy is up for trade or straight sale. Here's Ash's original thread (hope that's ok Ash?) until I get some pics myself, but its in exactly same condition and has a brand new set of Super Slinky's on it and set up a little lower. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/184279-status-energy-6-string-bass-for-sale-again/page__hl__status The neck profile on this is my favourite, like the Groove basses, flat and easily accessible. It's not heavy either, but then again my go to bass is an old Blade B4 and that IS heavy! Trade options Passive P, J or P/J 4 string bass...(prefer black/maple) with added pennies for the right one. Nice acoustic 6 string. Maybe a bass combo? To conform to rules...trade value £330-350, but don't let that stop you from offering something more valuable....I may have some pennies under the mattress. Or offer something less financially valuable and give me some shillings? I'm in North Dorset, but am near to A303, so the M3 corridor is accessible if you want to meet up, or come and have a noodle. Can easily get to Bournemouth, Bristol, Exeter, Basingstoke areas. Thanks for looking.

Sorry sold last week with my stick bass. Post amended now.

Still here.
