josh3184 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Here are a few more photos guys, as requested: [attachment=66699:IMG_0222.JPG] [attachment=66698:IMG_0221.JPG] [attachment=66697:IMG_0220.JPG] [attachment=66696:IMG_0219.JPG] [quote name='sblueplanet' post='1062100' date='Dec 17 2010, 10:31 PM']Interested in the Warwick. Any more pics? Also, I string upside down, can nut be reversed?[/quote] This bass has the brass Just-a-Nut 1. As such, it could probably be reversed but it would have to be removed and reattached. It probably wouldn't be a massive job but you wouldn't be able to just flip it round as with the JAN 2. You'd probably need to switch all the saddles on the bridge over too but that looks to me like you could acomplish it with a screwdriver.

wildus Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Here's a nice status i picked up great bass Need some help with the woods on this bass can anyone help Cheers [attachment=67665:P1070547.JPG]
whynot Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 This looks to be my old bass which I ordered direct from Status 7 or 8 years back. I got the Status bug after buying Rob's first 5 string left handed neck thru graphite and this followed shortly after. I bought this one back after selling then sold on again so has had several owners since new. Will try and track down original receipt as I specified the wood facing etc but can't guarantee I'll find it after all this time. It has seen some memorable gigs.

Musicfreak1988 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 No one? [quote name='Musicfreak1988' post='1054606' date='Dec 11 2010, 12:55 AM']Hello fellow lefties! I'm selling my Mike Lull PJ4. It's literally new, as I have played on it for about 15 minutes before I put it back in its case. The specs are: - body: swamp ash - colour: sherwood green - neck: maple, graphite reinforced - fingerboard: BRAZILIAN rosewood with MOP inlays - radius: 7,25" (= vintage Fender) - frets: 20, medium jumbo - nut: 1,5" (= jazz bass width), bone - tuning keys: hipshot ultralites, d-tuner - pickups: lindy fralin - electronics: Aguilar OBP-1 (18V) (= a 2-band boost (40Hz and 4kHz) à la Sadowsky that can be switched from active to passive by pushing or pulling the tone knob) - weight: ca. 3,5 kg - shielded - plek'd - schaller straplocks factory pre-installed - comes in a custom made (original) hard shell case New MSRP is $4124, shipping was $300 and VAT was about 400-500 EUR. I got the certificate from Mike Lull as well as the shipping documents from UPS to prove that the bass only arrived very recently. Feel free to make -reasonable- offers. I am based in Belgium, but shipping to the U.K. is not a problem. Thanks for looking. PICS:[/quote]

steve-soar Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Looks like walnut central tone block, mahogany wings but the top is hard to figure out.

I also had a white bodied Status bolt-on 4 that I bought from a friend and interestingly the neck felt very different to this one. I used the 5 for 2 or 3 years but the neck was a little too chunky for me. Ended up somewhere in the US but eventually met an unfortunate (beyond repair) accident IIRC. It was a lovely looking bass. All black with side leds.
Finch75 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Awesome!!! A lefty thread. Its nice to see some quality left handed instruments instead of the token £150 POS. in the local music shops

I've heard good things about Yamahas but am yet to try one.... I've just restrung the Streamer BEAD so I'm not even sure I need a 5er now. Would much prefer a cash sale but still open to offers. Will probs put it on Arni's site soon.
