Replacement neck from Status, maybe?

Could be right I looked him up and all it said was a 1976 fretless stingray I even thought it might have been a prototype MM stingray but then I found a video on a early stingray it had the usually 3+ 1 headstock but with p type pickups closer to the bridge like where stingray pickups are

Hi was watch some old videos on YT and I saw that Pino Palladino looks to be playing a fretless Stingray body with a Fender neck ? I have looked several times and theres only 4 string ( I see all machine heads up top not like MM with the 3 + 1 yes I knownif it was a 5 string it would be 4+1 you can see it 0:32 on this clip + others 

I say any colour other than green ( I really dont like the colour green)

I can imagine the confusion, as I am using a kitchen-esque tablecloth on my worktop and clearly I am standing on a chair.
 

However, my mrs would never let me build anything but dinner in the kitchen (she did let me nick a plastic tablecloth for my workshop), and I’d be chasing any mouse with a mallet

Man up thats what I do ( between the hours of 8.30 to 5.30 Monday to Friday) then when she gets home I do what she saids to do

 So where in Oz are you hope its not in Vic 

So where in country Vic? I am in country NSW  Wagga Wagga

So where in Oz are you hope its not in Vic 

Blue but then again neither really do it for me 

I always thought the BC Rich guitars and basses  were what you got /played when you wanted to summons the Devil . I guess they would be great in fending off muggers / buglers 

I have used this type of pin vice https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Micro-Drill-Pin-Chuck-6-5mm-Hexagonal-Shank-Toolmaker-Lathe-Wire-Vice-Vise-0-1mm/283866883003?hash=item4217c8e3bb:g:JEUAAOSwoLFerwH0

I would go black 1st hen white very close 2nd . Maybe get small rare earth magnets & then depending on your mood you can swap it out as you please 

I dint vote as I am in Australia but we mainly used pickguard

I wouldnt mind the bass that Tony Zemaitis made for Ronnie Lane, it's the only one and Ronnie was an actual musician

Any pictures / links to this bass?

Well with no knobs to play with wheres the fun?

On a serious note I dont see the value in any signature instrument , I guess they have to get some money back what they are paying the artist  

They were not my cup of tea IMHO I dont care who owned / played any instrument ( especially mass produced ones) I cant see why they are worth the money.

Even if I was a Bill Gates I would pay anywhere near that for any instrument played buy any 1 ( unless its 1 that I played with / on)

Cant be as awful as Watneys Red Barrel. That was as rough as a badgers arrse!!

And how do you know how rough a badgers derrière is? talking  from experience ?

I bought a set like these from ebay Australia via China . I put them on a hack bass that I never play just as a wall hanger . Worth every cent for $13 including postage 

Greco Rick 4001 copy and a Aria ZZB why I got rid of either I dont know  and I kick my self when I see what they are worth now compared to what I  got for them

Like I said before its your bass to do with But if it was me I would see how much its worth now to sell it & the either buy or put together a bass from parts etc to make it what you want . If its cheaper to keep bass & mod it then do that. If its cheaper to buy another bass or parts bass & do what you want in mods well then sell the Signature bass and do the latter part.  

I would like a T40 as well but @58 I dont think my back would like it

I just use auto feeler gauges can get them cheap on ebay etc
