Cuzzie Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 @Jus Lukin trust you to look at that!!! Partly I may have slightly positioned the string retainer wrongly and I think it would be OK the other way, but I wound it and then had to carve the Sunday dinner so left it, as it’s staying in contact, it would probably be ok, I hope?! I could talk through my bum and say something clever, but it’s not, but it stays in tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 What is the difference - if any - between the weight of a graphite neck and, say, maple neck? They look amazing. As does that bitza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Oooo good question I think my body was about 2 - 2.2kg if I remember right, obviuolsy there is hardware, but I will do an inaccurate scale weight at home when I have the chance! May be worth hitting up Rob/Dawn at Status with an email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black would probably work really well. But that olive/mint colour with Oly white is lush. Start another build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we like. Basses built around a spare pick guard that was lying around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built an entire bass from a thumb rest and two screws before now. It's all about being creative... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was thinking it s probably heavier. The necks always look so good, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
