    Sadly that was my experience with Bass Bros also, I suspect their web email thingy doesn't do its job very well, which these days is pretty risky for the business

    I remember one of my more knowledgable musician mates saying of my TRB6 ".....the sort of bass played by NYC session musicians". That pretty much says it all 👍

    Get it, I've owned a few Status and Modulus necks/basses, and for my own reasons I still prefer wooden necks, but for me it's more about feel than performance, graphite is quantitatively better IME And yes this is a rather special instrument 👍

    In the case of a Status neck, improved. Note to note and string to string balance are pretty much perfect, stability and therefore playability significantly improved over all but the absolute best necks (luthier/top-end Warmoth, FCS), and there's a lovely layer of harmonic content that IME you only get from graphite, and good graphite at that (there is bad graphite, rhymes with roses....)

    Like any other mod, people seek improvement. IME and unlike Badass bridges and ‘better’ PUPs, there are very few basses that aren’t improved significantly by a Status neck 👍

    Classy bass 👍
  7. Beedster
    No 👍

    I agree @ped, it’s become an arms race, especially in terms of amplification

    TRBs are fabulous instruments 👍

    Hi @MattW the cab is a tad over 24" wide, a tad over 24" tall, and 16" deep. I'l travelling north in the next couple of weeks so meet up would be an option I'm sure 👍

    I’m pretty confident that everyone who sold one of these regretted it pretty quickly 👍

    Two neutron stars 😂 i’ll get some measurements later today Matt, it’s a glorious piece of engineering but I also have two Mesa rigs and even I can’t justify that level of gear…. 🤔 And all joking aside, it’s not too weighty, a lot less than my Mesa Diesel 15 and head 👍
  17. Beedster
    Lovely 👍
  18. Beedster
    Ain’t that the truth 👍

    Really is worth investing in a set of metric and imperial hex/Allen keys, even a top quality kit of long keys in a good case won't be much more than the cost of the Fender tool (in fact a lot cheaper for example https://www.screwfix.com/p/magnusson-metric-imperial-hex-key-set-30-pieces/3305V?tc=EC5&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21550393591&gbraid=0AAAAAD8IdPwPTrbujmZZ3pxHZxxUweXDB&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9sKP6dD2kQMV4J2DBx2wPSjuEAQYASABEgLzufD_BwE), and that way when you come across a non-conventional size (e.g., Warmoth and Allparts necks, Badass bridges etc) you're covered 👍

    As new strings stretch the bridge can get pulled towards the neck, if so you'll need to pull it upright frequently, but once they settle down the bridge should be stable
  21. Beedster
    Funnily enough I did think of that
  22. Beedster
    Not really playing this so up for sale again 👍
  23. Beedster
    Trades......?

    So I had a quick play with my damaged bass. At present to hear anything with any degree of clarity through the embryonic sound hole requires that my ears are quite a lot close than is convenient. Having said that, the tone when I could hear it was rather nice, which makes me wonder not only about a soundhole for monitoring but also possible for micing. Anyway, gonna call the luthier over the weekend and get a design agreed, I'll update as soon as done 👍
