Kev

seems nice, definatly agree with the fretboard how do these compare with the US made ones?

i miss all my colourful pedals, but tbh i just dont use effects anymore, just add a bit of light grit with my DHA, and some heavier overdrive with my odb-3, n thats about it. i only really use the zoom as a tuner and a limiter.

have you asked if he can drill the holes for you and just send you the neck? thats the hardest part, fitting the neck to the body n stringing up n that is simple, and i imagine would save you quite a bit (doesnt rob charge £100 for fitting it?)

how the f*** is alan gunna get in his house now then!

sadly, that furry black n white one is mine....

just a quick low light one of my two basses together, the OLP has the old wooden blue dawn 5 neck on [attachment=11968:DSC00400.JPG]

i just wish i had a better camera obbm how is the nord in comparison to the stock MM? and did i read you had an aggie obp-3 in yours??

I am sure the neck sounds fantastic on the musicman, I agree that the difference is quite pronounced. I must agree with the comment on the olp/status although that bass really came into it's own in a band situation, something about the sound just cut through the mix like a knife Are you in a band yourself? If so it will be interesting to see how you find your first practice with it. Well spotted about the harmonics too, the olp/status was fantastic for any bits of jaco, I have to work so much harder to get them to ring out on my jazz.[/quote] nah not in a band at the mo and dont think i will be this year either, my uni course is going to be VERY demanding this year, and i wont have time for much else really. its probably because of my natural dislike of passive basses that makes me not like the olp's sound tbh. but i still cant get enough of the status blue'ray (im trying out different names, its a bit long winded saying the whole title!), id love to have a jam and see how well it performs there, every note is crystal clear, i can imagine it slices through the mix like a hot knife through butter

it could well be, but you'd really be prepared to pay that for a guitar pedal?

just sold this gent my peavey 6er, great guy to deal with, and he seems happy with the bass too! good guy

hows it goin?

red tinted series 2 wins it for me out of that lot, very nice

student loans cant be released yet surely, unless you have enrolled for your next year very early :S

the olp/status was okay, but i certainly preffered the sound of the stingray 5 with original neck, something about the olp just sounds a bit, well, cheap and im not mad about the feel of it, cant pin what it is. now they have swapped, obviously i think the 'ray is amazing, the olp again doesnt really get close to how the stingray sounded with its wooden neck, but its good enough i think. i have to say i HATE the olp bridge

the neck seems dead straight, i have the action at my usual 2-3mm and its great, spent a good hour or so getting the intonation right and now its just superb. truss rod needed loosening just slightly but thats all

fantastic, the tone difference was alot more than i was expecting, the bass has alot more growl (yup, a stingray with [i]more[/i] growl!) and just pretty much everything sounds just..better! the harmonics of the sound are so much more pronounced, its just exactly what i want a stingray to sound like. i dont think il be buying another bass for a very long time iv stuck my stingray neck onto the olp and give that a quick setup too, doesnt sound too bad but sounds a bit cheap when compared to the statiray , it wont get played much but at least it gives the 'ray's old neck some use!

this guy sold me the bass part that has made me GAS free for the first time like ever! went and collected his OLP with status-graphite neck this morning, the neck is now fitted to my blue dawn stingray and is now the BEST bass i have ever played, and as far as im concerned i cant think of a possible situation of me having to ever sell it! the smile on my face would say it all thanks again mate

heres a taster of my stingray/status superbass [attachment=11926:DSC00376.JPG] full on porn pending sunlight and better camera...

well im going to pick up the OLP bass with the status neck tomorrow, so fingers crossed il have a musicman/status stingray by the end of the day!
