only4 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Great bass from a top English company for not much money type bump!
jassbass Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I was tempted with one of these recently.i got a gw35 fretless instead.maybe I should have got one of these instead
only4 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 I was tempted once and ended up with 4 wooden neck Status basses. All have been great...
Merton Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 A great bass, wooden necked Status basses are vastly underrated IMO
silverfoxnik Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 +1 Real quality instruments these.. Very comfortable to play and they sound great! GLWTS
only4 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Posted April 23, 2014 [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1398259080' post='2432131'] Trades?i have a ibaney gw35 to trade [/quote] Nice bass but i'm finding it impossible to play long scale bass anymore due to a wrist issue, so all my 34s are having to go Short scale only from now on! Cheers
bassment73 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Looks like a cool bass and made in England too! I can't find any specs anywhere on the web about these basses. What are the controls and is one of the coils in the pickup a 'dummy' coil perchance? Cheers
only4 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 Ok here is the spec, 21 Fret rosewood finger board. Active EQ :- Treble +/- 11 dB at 5.5 KHz Bass +/- 12 dB at 120 Hz True active/passive switch Master volume Tri-max Hum cancelling pickup (3 coils, the 2 outer coils provide the signal and the inner coil is for hum cancelling) The official colour is Claret I think the body is made from Alder
only4 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 Top quality 5 string for not much money type bump!
only4 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Buy British! You know it makes sense. Open to sensible offers. Cheers
