Friday BUMP!

Hi mate.. I've got a lovely white Fender/Squier Jazz bass (Squier Classic Vibe body with Fender USA Highway one neck,controls and bridge) with Fender gigbag for sale on here.Are you intereted in a p/x with a bit of cash your way? Cheers!

Absolute bargain at the price.Unless you're doing big venues this is the lightest,most powerful amp you're going to find if you like a "clean" sound.I've had the lot over the years and this is the best pound for pound amp I've ever had for general gigging use....been 100% reliable,too. Have a bump on me....;-)

Hi guys, Got a virtually mint Bass Pod XT live (the floor unit) with PSU,manual and Line 6 gigbag for sale,£110 (and I'll even go halves on UK postage....wot a bargain!!!) Pics on request Cheers, Steve

Hmmm....had two KB's sold 'em and went on to regret it later!Third time lucky I wonder....

Hi guys. I'm putting out a feeler for selling my CMD102 2x10 Markbass combo...pretty sure most know the score on this amp. Great nick,weighs nowt,loud as hell...but I'm doing very little in the way of gigging at the mo and can't really justify having it sat about not earning it's keep. I'm looking for around £725 as the amp is pretty much mint and has only been gigged about 5 times. Pics if you need them. I'm in the Manchester area. Ta!

No led's bump!

New pics bump!!

Hi, Looking to sell the original maple neck from my less than 6 months old Squire 60's vibe jazz...it's 34" scale,in perfect condition,Rosewood board complete with Fender/Squier original tuners/string guides. Would suit anyone doing a "custom Jazz" project. I've removed the stick-on led's as I'm going to use them on another bass-so it's [b]neck and tuners only for sale.[/b] I just need to move it on so I'm looking for £60 plus postage.

Cheers!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='542830' date='Jul 17 2009, 02:13 AM']That is a proper Status, not like the wishy-washy toned-down things they make now. This is before they realised that people had taste and wouldn't buy futuristic guitars. I've never liked them but y'know, if you're going to do it, do it like you mean it. [/quote] Hmm....I'd say the current "Streamline" model or Kingbass MK1 is even more "futuristic" than any of the earlier stuff....and they sure do sell....hence the four month waiting list from Rob for a new one... I guess i'ts all about opinions but that post really does read like someone who's never even seen the current Status line,let alone played or owned one...

Get this baby, chuck in an East retro-J preamp and you have an absolute gorgeous-looking tone monster for well under £500.I've said it before but I honestly think that in ten years these basses are going to be as sought after and regarded in the same way as 80's Jap Squires are now.

Decent price for a great bass. Status no longer make a "direct" equivalent to this but the "low end" bolt-on neck S2 classic now retails for over £1400.....most current Statii (S2,original Kingbass,Stealth etc.)have soapbar pickups and 3 band eq with sweep control. Interestingly,the new KBmk2 has Jazz pickups......having had an S2 and two Kingbasses I find the Jazz pickups with the fixed frequency bass/treble stack knob circuit (as on this matrix)a little "warmer." Jeez-you'll have me buying it next....if it was the Blueburst Series 1(my holy grail) I'd have bitten your leg off,let alone your arm....... Come on someone please put me out of my misery and buy the thing before I do something stupid!!

Lovely bass. I have the S1 thru which is effectively the same bass in design and electronics,but with an Ash body and green-burst finish.As with most Statii,they are fantastically versatile instruments that are capable of handling virtually any playing style-although to my ears,this model is a little less "bright" and a lot warmer-sounding than some of the newer stuff. But swapping a Status for a Warwick....sacrilege! Good luck.

Basically, I'm a child of the 80's - was 11 years old in '82 when I started out playing and being a massive fan of that certain bass player from the Isle of Wight, I kind of got into JD's/Status basses etc etc in a big way. Back in 1997, I co-founded a Yahoo club for Jaydee and I've learned a lot about his basses over the many years I've been a fan! I've owned many such basses, including Mark's famous red Classic bass - the internet has certainly helped John's work - I saw him earlier this week and he has orders for 40 instruments, which equates to two years work! Funnily enough, most of the orders are for guitars! (his version of the SG). Now where's me gaffa tape?[/quote] True Nick.That waiting list is reassuring of quality but at the same time a bloody nuisance! I've had three Jaydees-two MK's and a Roadie 2A. I have to say that as much as I love them,the quality control back in the day did leave a lot to be desired-I'm the same age as you and I was working in retail selling these beasts in the late 80's/early 90's and you had to keep a constant look out for the necks moving. My white Roadie was the best of the bunch-but the fingerboard developed a hairline crack and I had major probs with the neck...so I started my search for a "play it and bag it" bass...then I discovered Status....still the best "pound for pound" gigging bass IMO. At their peak,John was churning out MK's as fast as his team could make them and with all due respect,I think one or two may have been "Friday afternoon" jobs.You still have to be careful when buying second hand as a Jaydee,unlike a Status- is definately a bass that needs to have been kept "looked after." I still think that they are one of the most iconic and distinctive instruments you can buy-hence why I'm looking for a new one. I just got a Hed-Kandi sampler cd of some new album stuff they're releasing on the label and by the sound of the tracks I'd swear that it's 1985 all over again...maybe I'll get a session on my "new" Jaydee..
