Right, I am going to stick my oar in here. I own a MusicMan Stingray that has a Status Graphite neck. I would be incredibly surprised if [b][i]anyone[/i][/b] could tell the difference between this, and a Stingray with a wooden neck. I got the carbon fibre neck so I could change between fretted (Status) and fretless (original) if I wanted, and because the Status necks are well made. Sound-wise (other than being fretless) they are essentially identical. So yeah, using the incredibly unscientific method of my ears (as proposed earlier) I cannot 'hear' the difference between Carbon Fibre and Wood. And also, I am so proud of my fellow musical sceptics - I am so surprised at how many are willing to implement critical thinking (compared to the rest of the world!)

Excellent stuff Mike, I always enjoy using your transcriptions

I don't mean to just add a +1 to this, but so far there has only been one selection of basses that I have preferred to my Stingray and Thumb, and they have all been Overwater Jazz basses. Standard Fenders don't really do it for me, and I am unsure as to whether my Shuker will be able to fulfil that lust either (I don't currently know, because when I got it (second hand) the front pickup wasn't working, and the neck was poorly set-up). But even when I know how much I love those basses, I still get a proper smile when I pick up either of my basses, because they sound beautiful!

I think the bass tone is fantastic (P-bass yes?) Not too keen on the song though, but I guess that is just down to personal taste

Hi guys, just thought some of you might want to see this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U132BU6qUUI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U132BU6qUUI[/url]

I don't know, only that I wasn't actually able to sell mine after replacing it with a status!

I am currently running a Sansamp VT Deluxe into a QSC RMX 1450 into an Accugroove Tri12. Sounds sexy as anything
