  1. £450 is a fair price. Interestingly, I'm going to Brizzle next week, but I think I'll give it a miss. I had one new back when they first came out; I sold it on when I bought a real Status Graphite.
  2. Tell the guitarist you're thinking of doing the solos in a couple of songs.
  3. I've always wondered why Jesus had a Mexican name...
  4. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/status-six-string-bass-with-fitted-case-immaculate-superb/1457831281 £50 fine for the Crocs!
  5. Nah - it's just a misguided notion, pending the realisation that a larger one is what's always been the requirement.
  6. I'm not a roadworn fan and am under no illusions that I could morph myself into Flea, so it's a no from me. I had a go on one some time back in a music shop and was underwhelmed. That said, I do have a neckplate off a Flea which is destined for a fretless partsblaster I'm in the process of putting together, or maybe I'll put it on my other fretless Jazz which has pickups and controls off Geddys (two different ones); thereby making it a mixed celeb bass!
  7. I had a go on one at a guitar show a couple of years ago; I'd summarise it as an average travel bass with a couple of wavy bits of plastic stuck to it.
  8. I have one of these and I really like it. My only issue is that I spend ages looking for a compatible keyboard and then they went and release the model with an integral one!
  9. It's a Vox Clubman; the paint was really rubbish close-up. The body is mostly sanded back to the bare (ply)wood - I just need to get some red-lead to paint it with now!
  10. Following @Madein1962's comment, I think that the jack plate is the only item which hasn't changed! 🙂
  11. I think they've got 38 products at the moment, so 2 to go?
  12. What about the knobs and jack plate? 🙂
  13. OK, so now there's a mission to find it (was it TV, an interview, an album?).
  14. Well, that may be a fact, but the product features include penetrating and that's what it was commony known as. 🙂
  15. That's a ridiculous price for something which has been maimed in such a way! Mind you, I bought this lovely "Fender" at a car boot some years ago... (I still haven't got the refin done.)
  16. There was a can of WD-40 contact cleaner in the goody bag at the Screwfix Show last year. I don't think I've used it; I've still got a half-full Maplin one. It is one of a range of WD-40 products, but the name has tended to be a bit Hooverised to refer to the original penetrating oil. https://www.wd40.com/products/ (Back in the day, the bass guitar used to be called the The Fender Bass.)
  17. Hmmm - could that go on a Ric copy project of mine...
  18. My main strap is one I had made for me by a leatherworker; it's a non-adjustable strip of leather made to my specified length with a Straplock at each end.
  19. The unattributed "owned by", which the seller admitted was tenuous: "The owner of the boat said he bought the boat off a member of the Womble and these were left on the boat"
