JohnFitzgerald Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Next to your other Kingbass, this looks like one of the ones Mark had made when he was enjoying his food. This might make it suitable for the fuller figured slapper. (It's all true, Rob Green made him bigger basses when he wasn't at his lightest.)
wombatboter Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Not totally sure but I recall a bass like this being used at a Level 42 show at the Belgian coast a couple of years ago.. looks exactly like it. Looks great, by the way...
sgh Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for the compliments guys, she is lovely !
White Cloud Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 I remember seeing Mark play this bass on the 2008 tour, and for me this is the nicest Status I have ever seen. Some lucky L42 fan is going to end up with an absolute corker here!
TheGreek Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Headed Statii always seem weird to me...figure hey??? Good luck with the sale

Good luck with the sale [/quote] Same here. It's comparable to some others that have a neck with a 2+2 headstock on a Jazz body. Just weird! Edited November 11, 2012 by Thunderthumbs
Stuart Clayton Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Reviewed one like this for the Bass mag, and it was awesome. The single coils gave it a far superior tone over the original Kingbass in my opinion, made it far more usable. Quite tempted myself actually! Stu
sgh Posted December 3, 2012 Author Posted December 3, 2012 Totally agree with the tone, much cleaner and more variety with the J-Types over the Soapbar pickups that the original KB had.
