I've only used a Marleaux Sopran so don't have much experience (I sold the Sopran on here earlier in the year - the string tension was a bit much for me), however, from what I saw in the bass, these are beautifully constructed instruments with fantastic attention to detail, superb timbers and excellent ergonomics. This looks like an absolute bargain! -

Wow!
-
Even the cases for these are really cool! -
Simple class - a rig that could grace any stage in the world
-
These look outrageously good for the bargain price! I can't play 35" scale either (that's probably fortunate!)
-
These are almost unbelievably good - the most playable bass I’ve owned - my go to for almost anything. Doesn’t look like this has crown inlays though. Does it come with the case? Also, any details re: condition? -
US Spector - batteries getting very hot then failing?

Thanks, much appreciated - I was thinking a short. I'll inspect quickly now but out at a gig tonight. I'll investigate more tomorrow and get back! Cheers, Loz -
Hi all, anybody have any ideas about this? I was playing my Spector (US active with Agi OBP3) when it died quickly. I replaced the single 9v battery and after about 2-3 minutes, the sound faded, spluttered and died again. I took out the (new Duracell Industrial) battery and it was very hot - it had only been in the bass a few minutes. Anybody know what might be causing this? The bass doesn't have a passive option so it's useless without the active in full working order. Any ideas are very welcome - especially those that might suggest a fix! Cheers, Loz

Absolutely lovely, Yamaha was building some incredibly high quality basses at this time - a great adaptation of the P here -
Hurrah, somebody will be delighted! -
A ridiculous situation. Best seller on BC, beautiful, industry standard pre, and expensive case and ears included.

If it wasn’t for those sunken knobs and switches, this would be sold - all very personal taste of course, but sinking apart, for me at least, a beautiful and very useable bass -
WITHDRAWN from sale. Steinberger XL-2 1983/4. Almost immaculate

Always wanted one of these - this one looks beautiful! Extraordinary level of innovation in this one instrument - a massive re-think of the possible and desirable. An instrument of its time but for all time. -
These do come up, though only very rarely - there was a plate (without saddles) on Reverb for around £100. Very impressive, robust bridges though frequently in rough condition. I'm a big fan of the Precision Special - nicely built and very powerful but often very heavy. I managed to damage the circuit in mine so sold the bass cheaply - I should have either kept it or taken off some of the lovely hardware.

Looks like the original series - beautifully constructed cabs with hi-fi tone and impressive accuracy. I had the 112 version and miss it. GLWTS -
Wise decision, I was wavering -
As a Status player since ‘86, I can confirm that a big slap of graphite makes a dramatic difference (and no dead spots)
-
Did you play the Joe Osborn I had Andy - these are stunning necks - probably the best J necks I've played (ever)? I would dearly love this bass but have no cash (and no need for another 34" scale) -
I really need to stop looking at this... Doug Johns is tearing holes out of his - outrageous player and startling slap tone -
Absolute bargain - gorgeous DI/pre, best cases on the planet, and the rack ears for well under 400. Sort of wish I needed one!
-
To add to the excitement, here’s a very early one - still in outstanding condition and sounds incredible after countless gigs and sessions. Anticipation of the arrival of a new Status is quite lovely - I’m casting back to around ‘85 here and remember it very well
-
Absolutely gorgeous - great images too - remember, very fondly, playing these in shops back in the ‘80s - ultra high quality throughout
-
Aaargh...wish I’d seen that! Didn’t get in with the power amp but there’s room for another pre - winderful things
