    Barefaced cheek, I tell you!

    Hehe. :-)

    No - I bought it as-is via a facebook group. It's actually a relatively cheap body with a wrap on the front; I guess it must be a branded one, but I don't know what. I thought it'd be kind of contradictory to put the high-end Status neck on it!

    My current Frankenstein P-bass: Status Graphite neck Frankenstein body Wilkinson bridge Hipshot Ultralight machines TBD (need to enlarge the holes in the headstock first) Fender Precision pickup Yep - it really is a Frankenstein!

    That's a nice example of a Jack.

    It was a special model released during the last Recession.

    They need to make sure the weather is good! :-)

    And the Status group on facebook.

    I liked them back when I was a kid. I think there was an issue with the original one with the high-back seat, so a revised version was brought out without the backrest.

    Fantastic - thanks! (I'd forgotten about them too...) :-)
  11. prowla
    Ah yes - that was it!

    I spotted a Kay one over the weekend.

    My latest project - a Hondo II It's off to get re-fretted and then I'll be setting about getting things working . I'll probably put a Hipshot bridge on it and a Seymour Duncan (4000 style) from my parts box and I've got to get machines (not sure why there were only three there!) and a nut.

    I made a partscaster with a paulownia body. I really just wanted a foray into finishing and it came out rather nice. However, I never felt that it was really up to the job and I won't be buying another made of that wood.

    Linn famously use isobaric configurations in their hi-fi speakers, most notably their Isobarik; the idea is that it can shift more air.

    Cool - I didn't know about the isobarik speakers.

    Try taking sandpaper to most things and it'll kill their value. £200 for a refin is a good price - I was quoted £350 over the weekend for a Tokai Strat (which was too much).

    But at least they spelled Squier right, I suppose. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/21-Fret-4-string-Bass-Guitar-Unbranded-squier-style-Right-handed-vgc/183157422443?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49130%26meid%3D6cf83a2fcdc64a05b9981e078844402e%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D323183202774%26itm%3D183157422443&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982

    Ah - a lovely example of the roadworn look.
  20. prowla
    I thought it was going to be Spanish - a banjOlé!
  21. prowla
    What's your location?

    Funnily enough, I played a '54 gold top Les Paul yesterday - someone took it into a shop I was in; it was bloody marvellous! I only went in to get a couple of patch leads, I saw a penny in the car park and picked it up, and I ended up buying a compressor pedal (CP-1X).

    It's an easy mistake - to have "Made in the USA" on the front and then say it's made in China...
  24. prowla
    It's advertised as "with Fender neck" and described as "with a Fender neck added", which is untrue. And it's got an an authorised Fender trademark logo on it, which is illegal.
  25. prowla
    I was just about to post this one! It is being sold as "with Fender neck", but the "Fender Made In USA" headstock has a CY serial number on the back. Either the seller knows it's dodgy or he was duped.
