Hi Guys

Am thinking about offering a trade on my Kingbass Black Beauty 4 string, fully loaded with red LED's... What I really want is a 5 string version but as these are rarer than hens teeth, I'm looking for 5 string kingbass fully loaded..... any offers?

Or would contemplate a sale at £2k

Front & Side Red LED's

Woven graphite through-neck, 24 frets and zero fret as standard The BendWellTM fingerboard is a custom option. It is a 32” scale length with a recess behind the top-nut that allows you to add vibrato effects or bend the string up to two semi-tones. Phenolic fingerboard. Dual-action truss-rod Finished in deep black gloss lacquer with natural wood maple / alder ‘binding’. Uses standard double-ball or regular single-ball strings using locking screws supplied 19mm string spacing Compact, double-cutaway alder body with a book-matched maple arched top 2 x Status soap-bar pickups Active treble/bass, cut/boost plus variable frequency midrange switchable for boost/flat/cut. 18 volt battery supply, black hardware

Oh and goes without saying that it comes with the original Status Hiscox case

Many thanks Rich.... If anyone knows a good Statii when they see one it's you!
I'm a bit gutted to be selling her but she rarely gets played these days and she's far too pretty to be stuck in a case in the studio.

If only she had an extra string I'd never need another bass..... Ever!

I had a feeling that was in the offing, Jay. [i]And there was me thinking of offering to trade Miss.Myrtle for your BB...[/i] [b]ONLY JOKING![/b] :)

Do you find the same as I do, that although the Status 5-string necks are about the fastest of their type on the planet, the sheer narrowness of the 4-string neck makes it utterly effortless and faster than you yourself could possibly ever play?

Ah well, Jay - At least the payoff will be that you'll end up with the bass you really want - And you'll have the matching four string as well. How cool is that?! :)
