Merton Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 [quote name='Smash' post='330529' date='Nov 17 2008, 11:36 AM']...has anybody sent a bass for a neck and tuners to be fitted?[/quote] stingrayfan (Matt) has, and I'm sure others have too. Good luck with the sale - I would have it if I could, love these basses!
Smash Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='352448' date='Dec 12 2008, 09:29 AM']I've played this bass and it's a real beaut. If it had five strings, I'd be on my way to Norwich now. [/quote] Thanks Homer, I really do love the bass but I have to make way for a couple of new jazz basses.

But will probably have to fit the Tuners and Neck myself that's the worrying part.
MB1 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 MB1. Hello and Good Evening!....Now Live from Norwich...Its the quiz of the week! and heres your host Nicholas Parsons!........ Good Evening and Welcome to Sale Of The Century!. BUMP!
OutToPlayJazz Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Someone buy this! If you've ever played the standard Groove, you'll know that trimax pickup is astounding, especially as it's only a 9v pre as well. With the graphite neck, this is as rare as hen's teeth & needs to be played in anger! I'd buy it myself, but I'm about to drop £2k on another Status...

OutToPlayJazz Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I'll move this to pm, Martin. We're hijacking this poor guy's thread & he has an awesome bass to sell here! Rich.

Smash Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Quite a bit of interest and yes it does come with the Status Branded Hiscox case.
Smash Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 hmmm now its all gone quiet, might have to resort to breaking it up at this rate as I need a new graphite neck, oh well.
Kiwi Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I don't have the money set aside anymore, sorry.

MB1 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 MB1. Does this just string through the bridge?.. or is it through body stringing as well?
flychris Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Could it be possible to describe a bit the sound or post a soundclip ? and could you says what are the controls ?
ben_eat_pie Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Any interest in a fender hotrodded P bass? In olympic white, tort pickguard, body strung. Only a feeler though - that neck just looks stupidly sexy! Ben
Smash Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Sorry for the late replies.... Christmas etc etc [quote name='MB1' post='359505' date='Dec 20 2008, 12:36 PM']MB1. Does this just string through the bridge?.. or is it through body stringing as well?[/quote] It is strung through the bridge only. [quote name='flychris' post='359704' date='Dec 20 2008, 04:40 PM']Could it be possible to describe a bit the sound or post a soundclip ? and could you says what are the controls ?[/quote] The sound is quite similar to a Stingray but probably a bit smoother to my ears. The controls are active/passive switch, treble / bass / volume when active and volume only when passive [quote name='bass_ferret' post='360137' date='Dec 21 2008, 11:55 AM']And how much does it weigh?[/quote] Oh I don't have a set of scales sorry about that but about the same as my Geddy Lee Jazz [quote name='ben_eat_pie' post='361340' date='Dec 22 2008, 07:50 PM']Any interest in a fender hotrodded P bass?

Infact now thinking I would love another Status so will probably go back to swaps again plus cash for that elusive Stealth, or a solid colour S2.
thedontcarebear Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 If I can sell my Yamaha BB1500A or Cort B5, or both, I may well have this off you.
colinbow Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Hi I have a near mint Status Shark in solid black if you are interested COLIN
