  1. has this gone yet please? if not i would be interested as i butchered my previous nut to fit the heavy guage black nylons in
  2. LH500 + HyDrive 410 or even a 2500 or 3500 head is good too Hartke are sadly much underrated by those who are 'brand conscious' i feel, and I would challenge anyone to find better value for money from a good sounding rig great tone + reliability i gave up playing for about 15 years and when i resumed my first thoughts were to replace the old trace rig i used to have in early 90s ... until i saw the price tag ... so i took a gamble on the hartke rig and never regretted it - if anything i think it sounds better than my old 90s trace rig (even when they were half decent and not covered in carpet)
  3. For all you basschatters in north Kent please do feel free to come along

  9. [quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1377849498' post='2192596'] 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. [/quote] 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
  10. 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
  11. [quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1377776634' post='2191610'] I think it's because more of the body is in contact with the neck it's supposed to have more tone. [/quote] 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
  12. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1377807536' post='2192262'] Both. [/quote] yes yes i know but did you check the bidding? bit weird no???
  13. 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
  14. eventually everyone does Madonna
