    Gary has just bought my Status GP from me and it was a very pleasant transaction, loads of friendly comms. and he cheerfully paid upfront. I'd highly recommend him as a buyer or seller.
  2. The LMIII has cost you around £30 a year, maybe look at replacing it with another or the LMIV, which if it lasts as long will cost you £38 a year. As been said by many there are plenty of us out there who have had no failures and the price Real Electronics charge might not be too bad, from what I understand there is a fixed fee to look at it and then they advise of the charge you for usually a new module. But on something 13 years old maybe put the fee into a newer one with more features?
  3. Here's some photos with the other pickguards and one with the clear ( although I just left it off)!
  4. Thinning out the herd so I am reluctantly letting my Status go as it is just gathering dust as I continue bandless. This is a lightly factory-worn finish with a few dings and scrapes, not entirely sure which are factory made. I love PJ configurations and especially Telecaster type bodies too! The neck as you would expect is unblemished save a couple of tiny chips at the very top headstock edge and virtually unnoticeable. The spec. from Status is as follows: Alder semi-solid body with maple top 'Slab' style body with 'F-hole' High gloss lacquer to neck and body Woven graphite neck with phenolic fingerboard with 19mm string spacing J width neck : 4-string only available Active John East 4-band EQ with master volume and pickup balance (retro fitted) and offers passive or active function. 18 volt battery supply Hum-cancelling P / J pickups Side jack socket Chrome hardware Black, clear, white and tort pickguards (I had the latter 3 guards made) Weight 4.5 k The Bass plays either passive or active and has a slap bass function by pulling the stacked knob upwards too, obviously this has been only lightly used! Playing it has typical PJ tones with a large dollup of the Status sound too. Comes with the original undamaged Status branded Hiscox case and 2 keys. Last time I looked these were over £2700 new and obviously they are virtually unobtainable currently. I understand this was ordered new by James Stelfox from Starsailor (for those who care). PM or post if you need more Info.
  5. Just ring up the number on the website (that you have Googled) and ask to speak with Will and then take it from there. You are right to be cautious as there are scammers about but it appears the 'Will' who has posted on this thread is genuine.
  6. He also usually played drunk and lying on his back, so give him some kudos....
  7. I'd go for something like this, just to merge into the background....
  8. I could never be a Zombie...all that running around!
  9. Would suit me but just a little too far away....
  10. Nice, my first Bass was a 62 Gibson EB2, almost the same guitar though mine was sunburst.
  11. Sold a Bass to Gavin, excellent transaction with no issues, did not realise I'd sold him a strap in May 22 as well!
  12. I was being ironic (given how important tone woods are....!)
  13. Expect the tone will not be so good..... but I have no skin in the game!
  14. Good point but as you say the one in the photo looks impressive...
  15. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-40th-anniversary-precision-bass-vintage-edition-maple-fingerboard-satin-vintage-blonde/951657 Best new price I've seen...
