Yeah checked it out. Looks great. I'm such a slag for white basses.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1342036279' post='1728601'] Preview of one I'm working on [/quote] Nice one Wayne. That's gonna look awesome.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1342031172' post='1728491'] My friend Lex Sadler has a couple of great looking Warwick Streamers in all-White finish: [/quote] Just like Zender's. Nice pair. Brothers from a different mother?

Stunning. Nice work.

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1341521666' post='1720567'] That's a beaut! [/quote] Which one?

I think you'll find choice of pickup will effect quality of the B also...

ah yes, it's like assholes... everybody has one...

[quote] Couple more things I want to do with it, as said the bridge needs respraying and the saddles really need a refurb too, but I'll wait for a restring before I do that job. Gold strap lock pins too, bold screws in for the control cavity along with gold tuners. All for some point in the future, I'm liking the gold / black / red theme though. [/quote] Saddles need polishing on a buffing wheel - that will bring them back up a treat. I would have the bridge stripped and powdercoated.

So... now that you've seen the light with 5ers, sacking off Ashdown... whats next?

Another change of editor? Anyway, welcome.

And now a Spitfire...

Been a while since I've done any updates. Here's a new Rumour 4... nice bass with laser backplates (I think they look really impressive on this example) and with 12th fret inlay.

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1341319211' post='1716886'] How's everyone getting on using the Reidmar with their effects? I find my distortions sound harsher with it than they did with my previous amp which had a tube preamp, they sound not so pleasant and organic with the Reidmar and I'm not being able to get around it :/ I've been using a T-Rex Bass Juice since it came out and a Red Ripper for a few months, they went great with the 350x but not enjoying them so much now... Don't tell me I'll have to start a new search for distortions all over again [/quote] Maybe put a tube prepedal in front of the amp... a bit annoying I know.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1341234965' post='1715464'] I think a lot of that is perspective. The E-string is diving down pretty sharply and from that camera angle it looks like it's going off at a different angle from the nut. [/quote] It's the D and G I actually have the bigger issue with. [quote] My bet is that if you were holding that bass the strings would be absolutely fine. [/quote] My bet is that it wouldn't. Even the one on the Status website is pissed up. [quote] Also, you have failed to show sufficient respect to the Holy Memory of the Blessed Saint John of the Ox, and you shall surely endure the torments of Hell for all Eternity. Or something. [/quote] No slur at all on John.

The string lie from the nut to the machine heads is terrible. What is it with Status' inability to get a straight string path fron nut to post?

I never liked the sound of them - again, I think it comes down to the cabs more than the amp. OK, they get the job done but so does an Ashdown. They wouldn't be my first choice... and I never trust an amp that looks like a Tonka truck.

Thats cool. Nice effort. Not enough Jake Brown lettering on it though... sack the Ten Floors logo off and put your website url on it.

40 60 80 100 125s on all my 5 string basses - all 35" scale, DR strings.

Interesting to see the difference in the top fret positions in relation to the body. I would have thought they would be similar despite being neck through. The finish doesn't do a lot for me... but that fingerboard sure is tasty. Nice collection.

I don't know... looks good, if you wanted to get it A1, you could treat it to a coloured finish - depends if you wanted to keep the wood look. You asked about the look when the oil is being applied - you'd get that with a thin polyester clear top coat.
