14 TX64 Pads and Mounting arms Pads work perfectly well responding to all pad trigger areas and velocity. I originally had 3 full kits at my rehearsal room but have no need for them and most of the parts/frames etc have been sold. selling as a job lot as I’d rather not split and do individual postage. Collection is good too, NE26 or NE6 or could possibly drive to meet depending on distance. Any questions please ask. Thanks David I

Crazy madness. I have 1715 plug-ins. And I am a totally amateur bodger. How did I manage to collect so many? Lots of them are UAD ones that are sitting there after being downloaded with my Apollo interface, but need to be paid for to use. I wish I could disappear them. I would also like to know which plugin occasionally makes Logic unstable. You would expect the message to read "********* is making Logic unstable" so that I could go and deal with it. But that would be too obvious.

As you'll probably know, most of the wooden necked [with internal graphite rods] Status basses were cheaper bolt on instruments with the small composite square at the bottom of the neck. This one is a very rare through neck model (which was an option in 1994). You can see how the wood through-neck build was identically constructed to the graphite through-necks on the Empathy during the same period, with a rock maple stepped design neck set into the walnut tone block, and the mahogany wings added to the sides, with a book-matched exotic wood top cap. The bass has obviously lived a life since the mid-1990s and there is some stable lacquer peel to the back, but no deep buckle rash. There's also a very small area where a players thumb-tip has worn through the top veneer when they've repeatedly perched their thumb on the top of the neck pickup. It's not perfect, but it's obviously been loved and played hard & often. The original pickup covers would have been the red branded "Hyperactive" ones, so the other "Status" branded pickup may be a replacement unit or just a replacement cover. Either way, both work just fine. Sound: This bass does the Status snap and howl very well indeed. It has massive punch and tone is warmed by the walnut tone block. It's only a 9V preamp, but it has massive punch. Controls are Volume, Blend, Treble and Bass. There is also a 'bright switch' circuit controlled by a micro-switch. The 24-fret neck is utterly lovely. Fret work is excellent as you'd expect and the gloss finish has gently gone slightly satin over time. It's a joy to play. The bass has had a thorough clean and service since being picked up, and the truss rod has been tightened a small amount to reduce the relief. Action is low and very fast as you'd expect and it's been strung with a new set of Elixir 40-95's. The preamp battery has also been changed. This bass is ready to blast! Comes complete with a generic non-Status hard case. Payment via Direct Bank Transfer or cash only. Buyer to collect from DE7 in Derbyshire, or will meet halfway up to a reasonable distance.

Most had already seen this in the for sale section and have already expressed its cool factor, this thread was about it's tone. So, sir... I have to conclude... it is in fact YOU that has missed the point. 20 lashes...

All those pedals could make a piece of string tied to a broom sound decent! The question is, how does it sound acoustically and going direct?

Only five more to go. This is the tune 'Maria' from the Dave Grusin 'West Side Story' recording - I love the transition from ballad to swing but watch the tempos as they are clearly directed in the studio by someone conducting. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/maria-dave-grusin/

If filing is needed - I have done it before, not an enjoyable job, but takes a couple minutes and tries. And I had to file a brand new EMG, not a £16 one, so I had very sweaty hands... 😁 -
How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

There was a genuine reason for him being late in the form of a road closure. He did phone the band leader when he knew about the delay. He toured a few years ago with a band that had a minor hit in the 1960s, and currently gigs regularly as a singer/guitarist with backing tracks. The BL had made contact with him via Facebook. My impression of him was that he talked a good game!
