[quote name='Marcus' post='286161' date='Sep 17 2008, 07:08 PM']Considering a Status Neck for my Ray..... decisions / decisions ?[/quote] Now that I'd like - just need the £3-400 to sort it (probably worth more than the Ray in the current climate). Status wise I'd love a Stealth - the money for that may take a little longer...

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='286093' date='Sep 17 2008, 05:36 PM']Great idea. You'll have to be quick, as Rob is discontinuing the SmartBass range. It's down to whatever parts they've got left made up now I played one with just a precision style pickup & it was quite nice. Your suggested pickup configuration sounds really nice. Would like to see that one. Rich.[/quote] I tried one of these a few months back Rich - somehow it just didn't feel like a 'real' Status......sorry. Guess I'm picky - if I ever aquire a Status it'll have to be a 'good un'

Just cut out the middleman Mark and get a (another?) Stingray

I reckon the prices have dropped about £100 in the last couple of months for SR4/Sterling 4H's. I deffo think they are undervalued at the mo, but then again MIA Jazzes and P's are also down (Std S1 P's in good nick seem to be down around 4-450 against 500 this time last year). One thing to consider tho is out of the 4000 or so memebrs on BC, maybe only 2/3 of those are active and only half of those on the GAS trail so the money pool is small compared with the bay. So if you can be arsed and have the time then maybe the bay it is and get the favourable response MarkyTB had. I sold my 2004 St4 a few months back for £650 and the best offer I had on my 2005 SR4 recently was £550. At that point I guess you have to be pretty GAS'ed up to sell. Fortunately I wasn't ^_^ All that said tho, that was a pretty good score H.

That brings tears to me eyes. SRF did you have the neck fitted by Status? I fitted a Status fretless neck to a Jazz a couple of years back - it worked ok but it would only fit well on one out of the 2 Jazzes I had. Pity the Black neck wouldn't suit my Red Ray so well.......or would it?

[quote name='artisan' post='281182' date='Sep 10 2008, 03:43 PM']the best sound fretless for me & many other old farts has to be a fender jazz--mwaah to die for.[/quote] +1. Can't go wrong with a Jazz F'less

Just picked up one of these off Nick (Old Horse) as they were out of stock at BassDirect. I use it with my LM250 - good fit and well padded, also enough oddment space for IEC lead, cab leads and other bits/pieces. Deffo recommended at the price (£25 delvd).
