yorks5stringer Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Luthier built, but I'm thinking with a mahogany body and that body shape the headstock will be heading downwards... 2 Quote
alyctes Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Um. I'm a bit suspicious of this: "I have seen the same pickup branded di marzio". How would he know it was the same? And "branded" suggests he's not entirely sure either. 1 Quote
Hellzero Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 The pickup is a Schaller 232 Bassbucker from the 80's. 😉 4 Quote

Has he changed the post? It claims the body's walnut? I don't know what effect that would have, not being up on my woods (oo-err missus!). IIRC walnut is less dense that mahogany which would make it dive more. Is that right? Quote

I had a few Status basses over the years, all but one with mahogany bodies, and one solid walnut. It always seemed heavier than the others... Quote
tauzero Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 "has Avery low action". Um, that's the wrong sort of scale. Quote

Maybe we are all just reading it wrong, and he actually just left an L out of wal type - Wall type - ie, leaning against a wall. Quote
