**SOLD** Status Series 1 Lined Fretless 4 For Sale **SOLD**
JimH replied to JimH's topic in Basses For Sale
**** SOLD ***** Thanks Mat - enjoy! See you over on statii.com sometime! -
He's a nice guy - I'm sure he'll fit you in, as long as you don't want a custom build acoustic as well..... Repairs/setups are bread and butter to luthiers, after all....

You could try my next-door neighbour [url="http://www.mick-kennedy.com/luthier.htm"]Mick Kennedy[/url] Whilst predominantly an acoustic guitar maker, he should be able to sort you out if he's not too busy!

[quote name='mathewsanchez' post='283076' date='Sep 13 2008, 10:16 AM']Anyone got an idea how much it would cost or if it is indeed possible to defret a graphite neck?[/quote] If you're still looking for a bargain Status fretless, then check out my S1 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27836"]here[/url] Regds Jim -
OK - to help finance my latest Empathy acquisition, it's time to let someone else enjoy a fretless. Spec as follows :- [b]Status Series 1 Lined Fretless 4 For Sale[/b] Year : 1995 (Best Guess from Rob/Dawn) Serial : #2388 Body: Facing Figured Walnut, Laminate, Red, Back ??? Finish : Satin Neck: Maple, Through, with graphite rods, lined fretless, Headed Hardware : Black Strings: 4 Circuit : Series-1 Pots Pickups: 2 x Hyperactive Last Owner : James Durand (Durandassi) who can vouch for its quality and condition (same as when it left him - great!) Plays like an S2, sounds slightly more mellow with the wooden neck, but not necessarily a bad thing for a fretless tone. Not overly expensive, so great for the odd fretless moment during a set! No case with this one, but I have an old case with broken handle that will be fine if shipping is needed. Looking for just £450 plus shipping! Payment by cash on collection (Nr Norwich) or Bank Transfer please. Pictures that James took when I bought it as I'll never take any as good as these :- Dec 1994 original ad - RRP £1175 Was on offer for £799 new 14 years ago!! :-

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='285464' date='Sep 16 2008, 10:59 PM']Hey Jim, it was you that bought Mike's Empathy, then? Nice score! I hear it's had a full factory refinish, too. Lucky man![/quote] And I've now ended up with 3 Statii that have been previously owned by James Durand.... Lined Fretless S1 now for sale on www.statii.com - will be on here in a few days if no takers, then eBay a bit after that

Peavey Microbass - gives you all but the battery power option for under £70 [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Peavey-Microbass-Bass-Amp/8JA"]Peavey Microbass[/url] Works great as both a practise amp, and to give my basses enough grunt to compete with our band when unplugged/acoustic... Or for another £50, the battery option as well :- [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_RXMICROCUBEBASS.html"]Roland Microcube[/url]

Just couldn't resist another - photos from a couple of sources - bass should be here in a couple of days :-

Portable Bass Amps with Headphones - Help Please!
JimH replied to jazzbassmm's topic in Accessories and Misc
Don't know about those, but can recommend the Tascam Bass Trainer - especially the MP3 version - does all you want and loads more :- [url="http://www.tascam.com/products/mp-bt1.html"]Click Here[/url] £100 more than the options above, though .... -
[quote name='stingrayfan' post='268372' date='Aug 23 2008, 11:07 AM']Nice... I'm guessing you may have one or two Level 42 albums in the house.[/quote] just a couple - it's a versatile rig, though, not all slap!

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='258311' date='Aug 8 2008, 04:52 PM']Why did James have the GB controller fitted... and then move it on?[/quote] Just one word - Retroglide!

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='257947' date='Aug 8 2008, 11:39 AM']Nice set-up. Watched the YouTube clip - that bass is like a fruit machine doing the special feature gamble![/quote] Fortunately there's 11 settings, including off and "feature hold" (all on) - so you can save the nudge/gamble effect for the encore!

I'm suprised no-one's mentioned www.reverbnation.com yet - not a full website builder, or a social networking page, but there's some nifty tools there, and plug-ins for Facebook, etc. as well.. No techie skills/not much time needed either... [url="http://www.reverbnation.com/thelastmenstanding"]http://www.reverbnation.com/thelastmenstanding[/url] is our page

Here's mine - The S1 will get treated to Blue FretFX LED's soon - details as per sig :- And a video of James (my S2's previous owner) demoing the SIM's LED's and GB Controller! :- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjiJIVh5iE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjiJIVh5iE[/url]

Possibly THE most ridiculous looking thing EVER

Would probably appeal to those who leave the plastic on their car seats and sofas to "keep them nice".... -
[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='244982' date='Jul 22 2008, 12:54 AM']Give a headless a go if you’ve never played one – they’re not to everyone’s tastes and it would be sh*t to drop £1k+ on a headless Status and not like it. I played a headless a few years ago and I just couldn’t get on with it. The way it felt was so weird and I found that subconsciously I always felt that I was lower down the fret board than I actually was because there was no headstock, so I always felt out of position (if that makes any sense…it does in my head anyway )[/quote] +1 - what he said.... prefer headed.....
