I have one in natural, the original preamp is one of Rob’s favourites. I love mine. Great neck, never moves. Sounds so good and cuts through any mix. GLWTS.

The preamp has TB5 etched on the PCB. I have no idea if this is relevant 😂. 

Here’s my 1992 Status Energy Matrix. 
Woven graphite bolt-on neck. 
Phenolic ‘board. 
Walnut body with original black finish checking all over. The usual dings associated with a 30-odd year old instrument. 
Updated with EMG active pickups with EMG BTC 2-band preamp, plus a Babicz FCH bridge. 
Original Hyperactive pickups and preamp will be included. Also the original brass bridge but this has seen better days. 
Comes with original Status branded Hiscox case. 
Come and try it out - I’m located 5 minutes from M1 J29. 

I am willing to courier this but at buyer’s expense and arrangement. 
 

Cheers!!

Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one.

Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built.

Beauty, is there much in the way of neck dive on this model?

The usual I guess. I’d probably move the strap button if it bothered me. 👍🏻

These basses are now discontinued due to a cease and desist from Gibson, although I did find another one for sale in Australia (link below). 
This example is brand-new in box and has never been played. It has a lovely Jazz-style roasted neck and absolutely growls! It weighs in at a reasonable 9.4lbs or just under 4.3kg. 
 

Collection from Chesterfield is preferred, or a reasonable car park meet-up. I can courier to the UK for an added £25.

Here’s my Sterling Pete Wentz Stingray for you to feast your eyes on!

It’s a fantastic instrument and the baked maple neck is utterly sublime. 
Impulse-bought just a few weeks ago but I just haven’t bonded with it. 
It is barely used and in IMMACULATE condition. I’ve put some Elixirs on too which are about £45 😁.

Her birthday is Dec 14th 1994! She’s nearly 30!! ❤️

Oh I forgot - it’s fitted with a set of Elixir Stainless Steel 45-105 bad boys - currently over £50 for a set and honestly? They’ll last longer than you will ☠️.

Oh you 😚

Here is my incredible 1994 ‘Ray up for grabs! Purchased from Bassbros in August (so I’m mostly using their professional photos). I hadn’t planned on selling it but I’ve just bought a Status graphite so this has to go due to a “one in/one out” embargo. 
It’s everything you’d want from an old Stingray, plus will you get a load of that bird’s eye maple neck!! Stunning!

Comes with a lovely RoadRunner hard case. 
 

I’d prefer collection or meet-up but I am willing to ship this at buyer’s expense. 
 

I’ve added pics with my staggeringly handsome face for your viewing pleasure. I also have lots of awesome feedback from you lot. 
 

Cheers

Utterly incredible synthesiser pedal. Made famous by Chris Wolstenholme of Muse, this pedal can pretty much do anything synth-wise. 
I’m including a Roland UM-One MIDI USB cable (cost £40) so you can utilise the powerful synth interface for deep-dive editing of all the bonkers sounds this thing can generate.

I think you'll struggle to find original parts for a Integra or even a specific bridge for whatever particular year/model that one actually is.

 

If it was mine, I'd scrap the desire to retain originality and just pop a replacement bridge in...it would also be quicker and likely more cost effective as well.  I wouldn't worry about holes not lining up or anything; stick a Hipshot Kickass on it.

Hi there! The issue with that is the bridge is recessed into the body, so sticking a different bridge in there is problematic. A local engineering company is making me a set of replacement parts so fingers crossed it’ll all work out with the original bridge.

You might need to remove the bridge to show a good and the bad adjuster saddle.

 

Ha... pics appear as i post..

 

Maybe a 3mm Stainless nut to catch the Ball end and anchor in the adjuster for block better? 

I try this and report back 👍🏻

Done! 😁

I know this is an incredibly long shot but hey it’s worth a try.

A small component on the bridge has snapped - probably not surprising for a 40 year old bass. It’s a cast piece that holds the ball-end and goes under the fine-tuner. I realise the chances of finding a replacement are slim. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could I get one machined? Any help is appreciated! 😬

PM’d 😁
