Hi. Have owned both and loved both. I found the Status to be more versatile sound wise, but uncomfortable to play (Used Kingbass mk1) whereas the Jaydee (New Roadie 1 Active) played like a dream, but to me it lacked bottom end. Jaydee wait times for new are huge (18 months at least) whereas Status last time i looked for about 4 months. Used they do appear, but avoid early Jaydee as some (not all) are known for bendy/unstable necks Regret selling both, but am now a Warwick man (also worth considering too :-) ) Horses for courses really - try as many as you can (usual advice i know). Keeo your eyes on here, Statii and Talkbass. Good luck in your search dude Graeme

yep - agree around the £300 to £350 mark seems fair. I had one back in the day and like alot of othes, regret selling it (although mine was no minter). You coudl drop into the statii forum to get the view from the Statii massive :-)

I've just spent £240 in a RockBass Corvette Active 4 from Thomann, best money i've ever spent, you could do alot worse! Graeme

i've ALWAYS wondered about that bass....must investigate further

What a great tasteful player - always has been - love his wah wah work in the 70's Vegas shows

awesome - love the white Corvette too

sweeeet

I like that - not sure about the tuners though?

single humbucker bass does it for me - looks cracking

Thanks guys - i'll give one a try at the weekend Cheers Graeme

I know i guess i have to try one, but any owners with Double Buck pickups...do they get in the way for slapping/popping duties? Hand on heart i don;t do too much slapping during a gig, but interested if they hinder due to their placement/size on the bass? Thanks Graeme

Good Job - well done mate

Graeme ps...reckon Santa is reading this thread...me hope so!

with regards to the richest.....It isn't me, that's for sure

I tried the boiling method a few years ago adding some washing detergent....seemed to work, but the strings didn't last too long. I'm going to give the purple meths a go - thanks for the tip!
