It makes me realise just how lucky I was to get hold of a Status neck just after their announcement. I'd definitely source another one if I could.

I love Gail, thanks

Thanks it's figured walnut apparently. I must admit though, I prefer the grain on your one.

I think ours must've come from near enough the same batch. Mine's a November 2021.

Music, and musicians - why is it always so hard?
Old Horse Murphy replied to Jakester's topic in General Discussion
Sorry to hear that Jake. Don't give up mate -
I've not had this too long but as there hasn't been a great deal of interest in my Fender US P Bass I thought I'd try this one to see if there are any takers. This really is a very reluctant feeler but needs must unfortunately. It's a January 2020 US Stingray Special 5 String in Ghostwood. It's in immaculate condition (still has the cellophane on the pickguard) and comes with original case and all the accessories. According to my wife's digital kitchen scales it's 9lbs 4oz. It feels a bit lighter to me though and is just a joy to play. It has a lovely low action and is one of the new Specials with 18v electronics, roasted neck etc. These models retail for upwards of £2,699- the cheapest I have found on sale in PMT (although having tried it, it suffers from the G string/edge of neck thing). This one is in as good condition as you'd find for considerably less. I'm looking for £1,800 delivered fully insured or it can be pieced up/handed over within an hour of Monmouth for £1,750. No trades please. If my P bass happens to sell first I'll keep this one.

Joe recently bought a Back Beat from me. The deal couldn't have gone any easier and he's a lovely guy too. Highly recommended.

Chris bought one of my Hohner Jacks in a totally hassle-free deal. I'm Glad it's gone to someone who misses the 80's as much as me Highly recommended

For sale is a lovely little Fender Rumble 500 Bass Head that delivers 500W at 4 ohms or 350w at 8 ohms. It weighs in at only 5lbs too. It's in excellent condition and I have given the pots a spray of contact cleaner as one of them was a bit scratchy (all seems fine now). This amp is brilliant and delivers a lot of power for its size with some really nice features too such as an overdrive channel and other pre-voiced settings. It comes with a padded bag which (for some reason) when I got it doesn't have the zip pulls on it! No idea why but it still allows you to transport the amp but the front zip doesn't secure. I bought this for a few festival gigs we had and it performed brilliantly. If I didn't have my Markbass combo I'd definitely keep this. Yours for £260 delivered insured. Specs: FENDER RUMBLE 500 HEAD (V3) FEATURES: Amplifier Type: Class-D Controls: Gain, Bright On/Off, Contour On/Off, Vintage On/Off, Drive, Overdrive On/Off, Level, Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid, Treble, Master Volume Wattage: 500 Watts @ 4ohms / 350 Watts @ 8-ohms Effects Loop: 1/4" - (Send/Return) Inputs: One - 1/4" Auxiliary Input: 1/8" Stereo Headphone Jack: 1/8" Stereo Line Out: One - (XLR with Ground Lift) Speaker Jack: Two 1/4" Parallel (4-ohm minimum) Channels: One - (with Selectable Bright Switch, Contour, Vintage Switch and Overdrive) Pilot Light Jewel: Red LED Front Panel: Painted Metal Amplifier Depth: 7.19" (18.26 cm) Amplifier Width: 13.75" (350 mm) Amplifier Height: 2.68" (6.81 cm) Amplifier Weight: 5 lbs.

For sale is a gorgeous Stats Graphite branded Hiscox hard case complete with keys. It's in super condition apart from one of the feet is slightly bent (still functioning though). Other than that it's virtually new (bass for illustration purposes only). These retail at £115 plus postage new. I'm looking for £85 inc postage.

My newly installed Jazz neck. Wow, it's a lovely thing -
NND- New Neck Day for by Custom P Bass Body
Old Horse Murphy replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
Thank you. It's definitely one where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts -
Nicest colour for a P I've seen in a long time 👍

NND- New Neck Day for by Custom P Bass Body
Old Horse Murphy replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
Thanks chaps. It plays beautifully and it's incredibly resonant. I just now need to work out whether or not I like Jazzes, even if they're in the form of a P Bass! -
After not getting a great deal of interest in my Custom P Bass body with EMG Jazz pickups, I decided to go down another route and see if I could source a Status Graphite neck for it. Considering how difficult it is to get hold of these necks I was lucky enough to be able to find one that was within reasonable (ish) driving distance and I so picked it up tonight. It's an absolutely spotless Jazz width neck pre-fitted with Schaller tuners that dropped right in to the body and although I've not really set it up properly yet the bass plays beautifully and gives me the opportunity for Jazz Bass sounds without the Jazz body which I struggle with ergonomically. I think the whole thing looks ace too and weighs in at 9lbs 3oz.
