Marcus Miller Jazz Status.

[Johngh]

Just picked up the Marcus Miller Jazz Body that was for sale on here. Also just ordered a Status Graphite J neck to go on it. Neck should be here in a couple of weeks.
I've always fancied a Status necked Jazz or Stingray, and never imagined being lucky enough to pick up a Marcus Jazz body. Not sure what machine heads to put on it yet. I'll also see what it sounds like one it's all bolted together before I decide to get a Sadowsky pre for it or not.

Oooh like the idea of this!

I'd deffo upgrade the pre, I miss my MM but not the preamp.

Nice! I'd change two of the knobs to match the other two as well, always thought that looked a bit weird...

Status neck arrived yesterday, very nice too. I'll try to get mock up photo's up later today.

It will be off to Jon Shukers at the weekend to be put together.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pick your status neck up for?

Just under £300

Took the neck and body to Jon Shuker today, I've also asked him to put a drop tuner on it. Looks like it will also be Schaller tuners, and Status Hotwire medium gauge strings.

Get it back in about 2 weeks time.

Any update?!

I've had the bass back from Jon about a month now, and took it to band rehearsal yesterday[i]. [/i]It sounds immense, it's easily the best sounding jazz I've ever had. The sound is even all over the neck, and if you thought a Geddy jazz had growl, you should hear this baby.

I'll get photos up when I can.

Awesome, I want to do this with a Stingray 5 - but you don't see those bodies up for sale so often
