In terms of sound? I can't really tell you and it's a little difficult to make comparions without sounding biased against whatever the comparison is. I have too much respect for Rob and the Status team to be drawn into direct comparisons, they have made some fantastic necks. So maybe a batch 1 customer can make a comment after they have installed their neck. What I can say though is our neck construction is inspired by more heavily by Steinberger. We like the solid full sound of Steinberger necks, the even string response and snappy attack which isn't too aggressive. However the end result can also depend very much on the body wood.

I would work out where the cuts are likely to be. Then, before cutting, I would smear the area with some superglue, let it dry and then cut. Perhaps even add a small piece of tape over the area too.

Thanks... To be fair I did cut them really carefully & crimped the ends to prevent the windings from unravelling. Also with stringing through body would have taken some excess length of the long scale strings.

Ha ha, fair enough, I did it once and it unraveled within seconds, but that’s life I guess. Beautiful trio there 👍

Not wanting to contradict any advice stating it's a bad idea, but I did it. Had a set of cut down 34" Labella tape wounds on one of my Squier Vista Musicmasters (pink) with no issues.

Argh. I also have to drop out 😭 Hope everyone has a great day, apologies to those wanting to see the Super Twin 😢

Apologies there. Dave

As a gentleman of a certain age, neither me or my car is interested in hernia inducing 15/18” subs. So my interest was piqued when @Happy Jack started his small, lightweight sub quest. After receiving many recommendations, he found the Citronic Casa 10BA. Having sold my JBL subs, I had a few groats to spend and ended up being the owner of one. I was firmly bitten by GAS now and after hearing it, ordered a second. I had a hernia operation on Sept 2nd so we had kept the diary clear and close to the end of my 6 week “ no heavy lifting” spell, I developed a rotator cuff injury to my shoulder so no real world resting, even in rehearsals. I will report back later when I have more. So earlier in the year, I had no intention of buying a new PA and a pair of 8” tops and 10” subs were not even considered. While they would not do a really big gig, for the pubs clubs and parties we do, I am sure they will be more than enough.

Now you’re talking.

Although Facebook is mostly irritating nonsense I find it very useful for promoting the two bands I’m in. Also for keeping an eye on venues and other acts working in the same area. About a half dozen times over the last three years-ish we’ve picked up gigs when venues put messages on Facebook for last-minute replacements. I often think that musicians who reject social either don’t gig or leave all the promotional donkey work to others.

No

Sorry all, some last minute stuff has come up which means that I won’t be able to be there tomorrow. Have a fun day, all. So sad to miss it.

£12 for the replacement pickguard including delivery ( although a wait to get it into the New Year) was expecting a lot more so pleasantly surprised 😀

Ive got tapes on a few of my jazzes, I’ve never tried it but I wouldn’t cut them down past the silks myself, can’t they just be returned for the right ones

Sorry if I misunderstood! No harm done. Its something I have had done (via a luthier) in the past so its obviously not so uncommon. Shimming the whole length of the neck will not alter the height of the action relative to the fingerboard I think, because its all one piece. All the shim will do is alter the height of the neck/ bridge block relative to the body wood, I think.

ah ...ai seems to think this is a bad idea

ah ...problem is back on ...for some reason i blanked out the xl sticker and purely focused on the insert wording ...so yes i still have a problem...so can you cut down tape wounds without them unwinding?

Or rather than a trickle every month - save them up in one big bash for Christmas…

I sold Nick a 70s Jazz too. What a lovely guy he was.
