You shouldn't be having any tuning issues with the Status, they're normally completely stable. You can probably tighten the small philips screws that fix the turny bit to the stem of the tuner and it should solve that problem and give them a firmer action and less likely to get knocked out of tune.

tried that thanks Rich but didnt seem to make a lot of difference - are you at the SE bassbash? i will bring it along an dyou can hit it with a hammer
yes i am crazy and basses often stay in tune
an old status i used to have never went even slightly out of tune it was awesome - the beat up old matrix i have now has slightly slack tuners and actually goes more out of tune than my squier affinity - TRB has gotohs too iirc and that is also very stable

I think it's because more of the body is in contact with the neck it's supposed to have more tone.

i would be inclined to agree with this sentiment - personally am against shimming too as a setup fix as imho it is affecting the neck/pocket contact area - ive even resorted to routing out a millimetre of body surface to drop the thicker gotoh 201 bridge down to get full adjustment rather than shimming i tried it and imho it sounded pants and neck stability was definitely an issue
so although i havent played one i would expect a single cutaway to add to stability and tone transmission throughout the whole instrument
hopefully somebody will have one of these ugly little critters at the SE bass bash and i can have a proper look-see
not being an ebay expert just been lucky enough in the past to catch a couple of really good bargains on there
was going to put a bid on this item number 200955632230
o***n (102) making earlier bids but now o***n(0) bidding in the last hour - are these disguised usernames randomly generated and have no repation to the actual username or am i just a miserable extremley suspicious old cynic
even as i type the bids have now jumped rather disproportionately from 100 to 155 ???
call me a cynic but im giving this one a wide berth
different ways to do it - are you looking for a complete printed disc of self adhesive vinyl
cheapest option would be cut vinyl lettering applied to the drumskin

IIRC Antigua was never supposed to look like that. The paint went wrong.

do we know of an artists impression of how it was supposed to look? i must admit that photo does make it look glossy and vaguely appealling but in the flesh in raw daylight it really is the most putrid hue
