John is okay, just heard from him. He will post in here later.

They were made by Status, not TE. Mark Gooday created the design with Rob Green but Status produced them and manufactured them, hence why you were able to buy the spare parts via the Status website for a significant period of time. They were originally a brighter white but as with most white basses, it's in its ivory/cream phase but then it is almost 30 years old. Nice catch!

Top work, lads!

Looking forward to meeting some of you tomorrow... albeit in horrendous circumstances. Safe travels everyone. Mike

I will keep you posted, I might be able to do the Sunday after all...will be in touch next week.

Hi all, I've been asked to share this far and wide... in celebration of our dear friend, Nick Smith... and to say our goodbyes. Tuesday next week. I'm going to be travelling from West/North West London, if anyone wants to car share. PM me if you're interested, I'll be leaving from Hillingdon/West Ruislip around 11am.

Ceased to be a 'company back in 2015-ish, lease came up for renewal I think and for whatever reason the company ceased, Rotosound bought some of their machines and the name became a brand, now under the stewardship of Strings & Things I believe. I could be wrong on all this of course. I was an endorsee from 1997 -2015, loved their strings but by 2014, I was getting a lot of dead E and A strings in my orders, usually returned half an order's worth of strings for replacements, so I wonder if their eye was off the ball by the end.

Around the $4.5 - 5k mark, depending on what you want.

Same prog...

He already has! The joy of Omega cuts!

That's 2 years of my life right there!

Thank you sir, will pay you a visit when I'm next up your way. Mike

Likewise, squire! We should do it again soon!

Yessir, same link...it will be available to watch until I pop my clogs....and probably even after that!
