  1. It also depends if you want to buy new or used. As already said, I wouldn't go for the low end unknown combos. Depending on your style, you will maybe need some Watts under the hood even for home practice. There was an old SWR Workingmans 12 for sale here on BC. This combo coupled to the high quality Jazz Bass Lag (before Lag bankruptcy) you own is really good (excellent, in fact) and will be more than enough for rehearsals or small gigs. Sadly for you, I checked and it's gone.
  2. I do like the names of the frequencies as it's what they really do, plus the frequency itself is labelled below, just in case. I prefer the 802 to the 800 for the real frequencies filters instead of some useless predefined curves.
  3. STATUS GRAPHITE S2 Classic 5 Headed Through-neck, the very one tested by the German magazine Gitarre&Bass in November 2000. For sale only as I'm thinning down the herd (again).

Non-smoking environment as usual. I'm only selling this bass because I'm thinning down the herd as I've just acquired an S2 headed fretless, which suits my taste better than the fretted. This bass was bought new by a friend of mine by Music Store in Köln (paid by his wife : some guys are lucky) on the 2nd of December 2000 (original invoice will be delivered) ! He then asked Christophe LEDUC to put some front dots as there are only side dots. Here is the link to the Status Graphite main specifications : http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html The bass has been fully set up professionally by Christophe LEDUC. It has two new batteries and is fitted with a (now) used set of Elixir nickel plated Nanoweb coating strings (45 - 65 - 80 - 100 - 130tw), which fit the bass to perfection. What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different angles to see the real condition : almost in new condition with the very few visible light dings photographed, the most important ones being on the headstock (bloody low ceilings). The lower milky line on the headstock photo is a reflection of the case lining. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
  4. Traded another bass with Victor. We planned to meet un Brussels, but the Corona virus stopped us to do it. So we sent basses to each other. Now I'm the proud owner of a Status S2 Classic 5 fretless bolt-on. As usual with Victor, everything was smooth, fast and easy (sounds like some Motörhead lyrics 😉 ). And another perfect deal with Victor !
  5. Is it the one you sold me for peanuts, you know the one with tippexed serial number ? 🤣
  6. Even Lemmy was an Abba fan. That said, they came long after the Beatles and did learn their lesson more than well. Great pop tunes, for sure, very very well composed and arranged. Wish there were still so good pop bands nowadays.
  7. As said millions of times, it's all in the fingers. 😉
  8. They make great cars. Ok, I'll get my coat.
  9. I have a moustache, you have a beard and it was @Teebs idea. So now, you better and hide in the PJB. 😁
  10. WTF is this ? How dare people try to sell such atrocities ?
  11. And the album is excellent too. I've been listening to it hundreds of times since I bought it when it was released.
  12. Listen to this, Dan : And especially this :
  13. Buy some PJB cabs. 🤣
  14. And Benedetti pickup. GLWYS.
  15. Calling @ped...
  16. Yep, and what about Wes Montgomery ?
  17. I have a very harsh sentence for this youtubery, that lot of people won't like as it hurts a lot, but summarizes the situation : "Monkeys imitate, men create."
  18. By the way Victor, the exact scale on this headed Status is 34 3/4 inches or 880 mm. GLWYS.
  19. Vigier Arpège Series 1 Delta Metal Fretless, very early 80's The preamp is not made anymore, so except for a second hand one, the answer is no. That said, writing in the correct language might help to get a response. 😉
  20. Do you have a phone or a PWM power supply nearby ?
  21. Remove the bullet of the truss rod and put some graphite grease on the thread, it will help a lot. You can reglue the fretboard using aliphatic glue : a white carpenter glue transmitting the vibrations and not absorbing them, that can also be painted.
  22. Wish it had 46 strings as I'm looking for one for ages, and, oh, unlined fretless please. GLWYS.
