crez5150 Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited December 7, 2010 by crez5150
Dusty Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 What a beauty..... shame it's a four, I also want a 5 !! Are you near Wickford ???
OutToPlayJazz Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Nice bass, Jay - Best of luck with the sale - Someone's going to get a seriously stunning instrument...
crez5150 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 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!
Stockholm Syndrome Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 So cool! I wish I had anything to offer you in a trade, all I have is my Modulus 6-string. After playing my custom 32" bass I can't play 35" anymore...
crez5150 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 The only trade I would consider would be another Status Kingbass..... They're the perfect bass for me.....
crez5150 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 Now withdrawn.... come to my senses after an outstanding gig over the weekend with it....... What on earth was I thinking.....
OutToPlayJazz Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) 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?
