  1. I've used Tru oil on a Shergold neck and it gave a great finish after only a few coats I gave it a satin type finish on the reverse and a glossier finish on the headstock fascia. I used cheap paper coffee filters to apply it as it's easier to control.
  2. I bought this lovely bass off Marcus only last week, it plays, sounds and looks stunning. Alas I don't get on with the slab body owing to my shoulder and forearm injury. I've decided that despite wanting one of these for years I can't justify keeping it so here it is again folks! It is in the same condition as described in Mark's original thread and comes in a case. It even includes strap locks. I'm selling for what I paid for it and I'm not looking for trades or offers as this is very much a bargain. Pickup would be best unless you want to organise your own courier. The bass weighs around 9lbs and balances perfectly. The neck is very comfortable the nut width is 42mm. Original thread here which I think describes it perfectly - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/235222-status-graphite-vintage-retro-active-4-pj-sold/

    Marcus's Feedback

    Mark sold me a rather wonderful Status PJ Retroactive bass. A great chap to deal and chat bass with Cheers mate!

    [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1398364857' post='2433470'] This may sound like a dumb question but what scale is it? I'm expecting 30" but on this 'cool and classic' bass site it says 32". Also what does it weigh please? http://www.musicradar.com/news/bass/cool-and-classic-basses-508349/67/1 [/quote] Hi scale length is 30" there's a copy of the user manual here that clearly states that ( no idea where music radar got 32" from ) http://www.manualslib.com/manual/239326/Fender-Bullet-B30.html?page=3#manual It weighs around 8.5lbs.

  7. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1398197506' post='2431610'] Bollocks, that'll teach me not to watch football. One of mine previously, should never have sold it. Fab bass, bargain price, well done Ash! [/quote] Ah you see this is my celebration prize for Burnley being promoted! If I don't get on with it I'll get in touch mate but I've been looking for one of these for ages so very

    Would consider a trade for a Markbass NY12 cab
  14. I use Promenade Music - just down the road in Morecambe. Despite doing a lot of business online they always have a decent stock of good quality basses thanks to Gary who works there and happens to be a bassist himself. I can't fault the staff and service there and there's none of that elitist rubbish of many shops - they welcome beginners and established pro musos equally - as indeed it should be. Guess we are spoilt here!

    Easter bump
  16. Yes - virtually impossible to get these days. Bloody useless though as they are worse than P bass ashtrays for getting in the way!
  17. It's a Satellite bass with ashtrays! £100 worth!
  18. One thing I must say is that the Marathon in the listing does have an original ashtray cover at the bridge and that is unusual!
  19. I think the price is a bit optimistic - best offer would be 2/3 of that at best. They are lovely instruments and scarce in unmodded condition but in today's market I'd only pay that for a Marathon 6 or 8 string. Marathon 4s go for between £260 - £490, OK the finish on many is poor but that's one of the quirks of Shergold - still contemplating a Bass Doc refinish on mine!
