    Daion make (made) very good instruments 👍

    Thanks Ped, do you think the oils are all much of a muchness, I appear to have Osmo floor oil, worktop oil, and furniture oil (as well as some decking oil but I suspect that'll not be the best bet)?
  3. Beedster
    @ped do you know which variant of Osmo Oil was used? I'm keen to oil a couple of my necks and have a few tins os Osmo lying around the place 👍

    On fretted I tend to use the G a lot when I'm playing flats where I find the tone quite full, less so with rounds. On FL I use the G a lot

    Nothing like a nice bit of Tiger Stripe Ebony, especially when luthiered by Warmoth 👍

    I like a played-in wooden neck with either very worn nitro or oil finish. If someone could make me a graphite neck with that feel I’d be very happy 👍

    I think we’re starting to realise the reverse, the expensive stuff ain’t what it’s cracked up to be 👍

    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....)
  12. Beedster
    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 👍
  14. Beedster
    I agree @ped, it’s become an arms race, especially in terms of amplification
  15. Beedster
    TRBs are fabulous instruments 👍

    Two keys players in one band?

    Mesa Subway combos 👍

    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 👍
  21. Beedster
    I’m pretty confident that everyone who sold one of these regretted it pretty quickly 👍
  22. Beedster
    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 👍
  23. Beedster
    Lovely 👍
  24. 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 👍
