    I'm not disagreeing, which is why I'm bumping: 400 only or so made in the Terada factory in the early days of the Gibson surge, perchance? Stonking.

    EDITED 1st DEC: All gonny! Alllrightythen: Mr G made this for me, so one owner from new. All the usuals BUT the back wings are walnut, along with the centre-block, instead of the perhaps more usual mahogany. It has done 3 polite paid gigs, numerous church worship appearances and is the only bass I record with, as it does exactly what I wish it to. Any time I want a bottom-end pinned down, it's always and only been this bass: you should be able to make its sound out among the, er, smaller guitars if you click on my sig and listen to a few clips of my CD. As you're all jolly nice people, I'll not piffle about with feelers, tasters and tentacles(er...I've no idea why I said that...): the condition and sound are as good as you expect from a Status, miles better than you'd expect if you've never heard one. After musing my EQ settings for over 500 man-hours of recording, I've faced the fact that my ear has gone even more J-ish, so I must act accordingly. Case and docs will accompany the sale. For cash, I'm expecting £1050 plus any carriage costs. Exchange-wise, ideally I'm looking for a Sadowsky Metro jazzer, 4 or 5 string, with VTC, natural ash/maple only. Mind you, I'm open to negotiable permutations: I've been sorely tempted by a Shuker jazz 4, Birdy's Lakland JO, a Sandberg and by the Sei 4 that still seems unsnapped-up at the Gallery. I may even wait for Rob to do me a J-Retro.... ...so you see the spec I'm after: jazz 60s/70s; active/passive; ability to be bright(ash/maple); slimmer neck; 4-string(I think, but you know what we're like when GASsing) This will not be going on EBay. Pics below, plus one of it surrounded by its little brothers. Ah. By all means pm me or float it all out on the forum. Every bestest!

    Haven't seen one of those in a while: lovely. Heck, a neck-through Toby 5er...very best of with this.

    Blimey! Am most surprised; keep your powder dry that man.

    Outstanding. "It's got cocaine in it. I mean currants; silly me." Top form still, that kiwi.

    Why thank you sir! Was it Chris who did a splendid job with the Stati(sic) site? Yes, I played the lot: I say "played"...meaning I definitely played the guitars and bass, definitely but with 30 takes or so and overdubs played the keys, and definitely programmed the midi or told Cakewalk Session Drummer what to do for drums/percussion. (Ah...a drummer that one only needs to punch the information into the once!)

    Hello all. After a protracted Lurkathon, I thought I'd show myself. I was around at "the old place" a couple of years ago and am glad to see some of the old heads here and all the newer faces. I'm really delighted to see these boards growing mightily from the friendlyish club to the, er, throbbing and pulsating collection of members it is. As ever, am quite awed by the sheer breadth of knowledge there is here; long may it continue to be a splendid resource of rich info and no-nonsenseness. Without wishing to incur volleys of spluttering expectoration, I have to say that I chiefly play,...umm, the things that look like a bass but smaller...yet in my defence I confess that my only bass has been a mainstay of my recording that I never need to worry about. You can see the bass amidst the happy family group enclosed. I have to say at this point that this Status has always proved itself more than extremely able to coupe le moutarde in any situation I've put it..and yet I'm offering it for trade shortly in the For Sale section. See my sig if you fancy a listen to the magnum opus I've taken 3 years to complete: the Status S2 Classic 5-er appears on every track that has bass. I've also included a pic of my bass for those who fancy a closer look. [attachment=15979:SR_guita...opy_2008.jpg] [attachment=15980:st1_copy.jpg]
