    I was the first customer to have Status fit a graphite neck to my 70s jazz bass. It felt great, but ultimately the shift in the mids took something away from its character. I hear the same when listening to Mark playing his Status and Jaydees; both great, it just depends on your preference.

    The EHX was posted on another forum last week and was partially responsible for my mini rant about consumer grade computer connectors and external PSUs with no-latching connectors earlier in this thread.

    I don't think anyone can really be sure until it's all opened up , right now the release button is not releasing the XLR ... we have two identical cables and Cabs one for each side , EV's and Andertons brand "Rean" XLR's ... one side released fine the other is stuck in the cab. The XLR release presses the xlr budges a bit towards you but the cable will not , no matter what you do come out, The google based " wisdom of the internet" Suggests using a poor quality cable could cause this sort of issue but could equally be a failed coupling release . Either way Andertons have both and when i go to collect I expect to get the XLR back for " Analysis "

    Hi Steve, A kind Redditor linked me to your post, and I wondered if you could share some of your experiences with the assembled models such as the Chieftain? A Chieftain I bass recently came into my possession and I’d love to know more about it, particularly if it’s possible to get a rough age of the instrument. It has been in its case for most of the last ~40 years and after a quick setup, it is sounding fantastic - I have not been able to put it down! I have linked some pictures below, apologies in advance for the questionable photography… https://postimg.cc/gallery/HJ9kWhB

    Ernie Ball Cobalts for me, I just chopped down standard length sets.

    It's a question of balance Roto 66 sound brilliant for a gig or three. Fender nickels sound ok, for six months. Flats avoid the problems by sounding meh from the start, and feel horrid.

    Nice! Although for me, the winner as far (as the paint-jobs go) is still the Sterling Ray 34 Purple Sparkle so I wish they'd use that colour scheme. It seems that Purple Sparkle Sterling Ray 34 was released in 2022, had problems with tuners and has since been on 'in stock soon' for every shop but never actually becomes available....which is possibly a good thing for me as I like: lightweight, passive (or at least passive/active switch), front facing jacks, a pickup in the Jazz bass type neck position for reggae type tones...so it ticks none of those boxes, but none of that matters when it ticks the big funky box that is purple sparkle!

    Good luck Dave. I've got 3 January gigs, 7 February and 7 in March 🤯

    Unfortunately not but I just chop down a standard set. That works fine, even on the skinny posts of the Musicmaster.

    Do they make a SS set? Coated round wounds could well be a good shout though as it would potentially increase the life span! Thanks

    Perfect description

    I don't know who originally made it but I've had it a couple of years and added a Thunderbird neck. It's had a Rickenbacker 5 string pickup, so will need re-routing for another shape. Has a KiOgan wiring loom and the cavities have copper conductive tape. Paint job - not good - Halfords finest put on too quickly and not sanded down. Top is finished with a vinyl wrap (which doesn't hide the paint inconsistencies underneath). Great if you want that 'Rat' look.

    I'm going to throw this up as a quick feeler, I'll grab decent pictures of it when I get a minute. Neural DSP Quad Cortex, you know what it is! In great condition, couple of tiny cosmetic marks here and there but screen has had a protective cover on since purchase. Comes boxed with it's power supply and USB lead. Will be restored to factory and toppers removed on shipment. Cheers!

    It's funny you say that, because the other day I watching some footage of MK/Level 42 where he was playing a King bass with what looked like the Parametrix EQ on it and it sounded like an Alembic. It had that extended, glassy top-end and super-deep punch you associate with a full-spec Alembic. It made me wish Status were still making graphite basses so I could buy another one. For me, MK's first solo album, Influences, is his best work. I remember when it came out in the summer of 1984 and what an impact it made. It really shows what he can do, and that his talents go well beyond the slap show pony tricks that really don't appeal to me. Tracks like Clocks Go Forward and the title track show the depth and subtleties of his style, and the slapping is super,-tight and appropriate where he uses it. Everything on that album sounds good to me.

    Yes, I was quite impressed to see their UK range

    No, simply an optical illusion I've tried a few multiscale basses, all really nice stuff, but I'm not sure that the fanned frets really makes enough of a difference to me at least. The physics behind it all makes perfect sense, but when it comes to actually just playing, I'm not sure it worth all the hassle. Being a bit of a short arse, and having played a 36" bass for a few years, I just prefer to be able to play without having to worry about the impact on my body. 31.5" just fits me perfectly with no real compromises. The low B at 31.5" works great with good strings, helped massively by luthier voodoo from Alan at AC Guitars, and everything above that seems all the better for the shorter scale. It has the weight and added low end you get from a short scale, with a bit more clarity and definition, and the G and C strings are super sweet and full sounding. Can you tell I love it?
