    Does anybody own one of these fine basses? If so, can you share your opinion on build quality, playability, neck etc?

    Check out this lovely BB! Would love to know more about it!

    Hi, What's the radius of the neck? Some websites list as 9.5 and others at 12/14?
  4. Brian18242
    Anyone know if EMG P/J pickups fit direct to the Yamaha BB line of basses? (BB434 & 734A)?
  5. Brian18242
    Never been a big fan of a 9.5 radius, the flatter the better 👍

    Is it possible to change a neck radius from 9.5 to 12? If so, does anyone know a guitar workshop that offers this service?

    Would be interesting to know the demand for status necks over the years. I always assumed they were very popular based on the options they offered. Typical, just as I decide to get one, the business partially closes it's doors 😭🤣😭. Wonder if that's part of the reason, Mark King went back to Jaydee?

    I did contact status to see if they had any old necks sitting about the workshop but sadly not. I regret not purchasing one a few years back😒😒😒

    Cheers, but looking for a replacement jazz neck to fit and existing jazz body, think zoot is more about selling a complete bass.
  12. Brian18242
    Now that Status is sadly downsizing their production, are there any other companies that specialise in replacement graphite necks? Years ago I had a moses jazz neck but couldn't live with the 7.5 radius. Can't help thinking there is now a big gap in the market for replacement graphite necks. Sourcing a used status jazz neck has proved impossible so far.

    Oh, if you ever decide to move the bass on, give me a shout🤣😂🤣
  14. Brian18242
    Desperate to also source a status jazz bass neck, but so far, no luck 😭

    Tried everything but it's been highlighted elsewhere these basses are plagued with issues. Pickup upgrade only way to go.
  17. Brian18242
    Thanks for the reply! The pickups and EQ are not the best, lots of hiss and volume cutting out. I have heard this is quite common for this model. It could be a great bass with the right pickups.
  18. Brian18242
    Any recommendations for pickup and EQ upgrades for this bass? Obviously, the most cost effective the better 😄

    Can anyone recommend direct replacement bridges and pickups for these 2 basses? Has anyone done this? Also does anyone know if a standard Stingray 5 pickgaurd would fit the MB5?
  23. Brian18242
    As Status are no longer selling replacement Jazz necks, can anyone recommend another manufacturing selling in the UK?
  24. Brian18242
    GB4 coming in a little over £1100. I expect the GB5 not to be far off that. Hopefully the Elrick is under that price point
  25. Brian18242
    Very interested to see the price's against these.
