Its perpetual darkness down this way! Edited September 10, 2008 by jmanfunk
Frusty Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Here's a full size pic of the bass (at least what I assume is this bass!):
Roo Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Hey I was just wondering what the control configuration was, it's passive right?
lateralus462 Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I want this bass - if I wasn't facing redundancy at the moment I'd definitely be interested!!!
Kev Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 this will be active, its master volume, volume pan between pickups, and a special tone shape knob if its anything like my wooden energy was
Kev Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 actually it may be passive, as theres no battery compartment on the back, interesting

doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 ...its an active treble control! Not a sweep or owt like that!
Kev Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 are you sure?? im fairly confident its not just a treble control.... but then again im crazy

I had a look at the brochures over on Statii.com and it simply says "pick-up balance, master volume and tone control" The bass is still available by the way
Kev Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 as far as i was aware, it altered a eq preshape

I've owned two of these basses!
mathewsanchez Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Anyone got an idea how much it would cost or if it is indeed possible to defret a graphite neck?

I asked Rob - he advised that to strip the lacquer, put a new board on, then re-lacquer it took ages and in fact would be about the same money as a new neck. So I got a new neck for it instead - it was £395 fitted. The neck neck also has a truss rod. (not that I needed one on the older one) It is now my fave bass.

I could do without the sticker though
fretmeister Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 The sticker has been removed now!! There is a vol, tone and separate output jack for the Seymour QP - I run that into a second amp. It sounds lovely indeed. I am half-way tempted by getting this one though - I have 3 Energy basses - 1 fretted 4, 1 fretless 4, 1 fretted 5. All modded like the fretless. But I fancy a 4 that is tuned BEAD as well....

I'm a liability with a router. The bi-amped signal is awesome. The Rig of Doom Mk1: Then I went to the Rig of Doom GT: and I'm currently building the Rig of Doom V3 No photos yet - but expect multiple Mark Bass heads and cabs; Multiple Pre-amps (POD X3 pro); full wireless etc.
