Yeh, people give you odd 'WTF-that' looks when you get it out the bag, but plugged in it sounds fantastic and they soon shut up.

haha +1 for that,

[url="http://www.limeburner.co.uk/happyness.html"]Heres me playing mine at a gig earlier in the year[/url]

yeah it looks quite similar to mine, from 83,

[quote name='SJA' post='89310' date='Nov 16 2007, 11:47 AM']if you just want a bass that won't go out of tune, just get a graphite-neck headless.[/quote]

+1 for that,

but my guitarist has a Gibson LesPaul, and it the most unstable guitar i have ever know, he has to retune between every song.

Andres go some graphite for sale over on Statii.com

My Zoot has the skinnyest (depth) neck i have ever seen on a bass! And the Manson has a very narrow neck,

here are some more pics, [url="http://<a%20href="][url="http://homepage.mac.com/editbox/PhotoAlbum17.html"]http://homepage.mac.com/editbox/PhotoAlbum17.html[/url][/url]" target="_blank">[url="http://homepage.mac.com/editbox/PhotoAlbum17.html"][url="http://homepage.mac.com/editbox/PhotoAlbum17.html"]http://homepage.mac.com/editbox/PhotoAlbum17.html[/url][/url]</a> yep i got the case a couple of years later and it was well used then, it a black plastic case with the fender logo embossed into it.

Thanks Wes , the Zoot is doing fine,, still loving it !

yeh it neck stamped 13 Oct 82 , Cherry Sunburst .. I bought this bass new in 83 and swapped it with Wes last year. It a lovely bass but sadly i just wasn't playing it. I can post pic if anyone wants.

i'm guessing what i've read from this site that everyone on basschat hosts a bass guitar show. am i right?[/quote]

yeh we something liek that , check out the video, [url="http://www.secondbass.co.uk/bash.html"]http://www.secondbass.co.uk/bash.html[/url]

yeh i had a gas attack from he real pics!!!!

1, they would have recorded the band on multi track to remix for the film / live album etc.
2. at a gig , they would have around 6 cameras, 1 one each band member , 1 wide . 1 roaming , 1 on the audience etc..

i quite like this bit,

[b]so as far as i know this seems like a one of a kind.[/b]

personally i would got for one that around 1990 and before, they have thiner neck and dont suffer from neck dive.
I think the way to tell is if it a Wenge/Bubinga body neck and the battery is in a separate box on the upper side of the back of the body. Also marked 'Made in West Germany' The date is stamped on the top of the headstock under the S/N.

I think the neck profile changed when they stopped using Wenge and started using ovangkol.

You might want to email someone like Rob Green at Status, I looked at a Viger on Ebay that had been painted with 2 tone paint, i decided against it as it could mess with the outer layer on the graphire neck.

ohh that is lovely, Zoots are fine basses,

I got a gold one i took off my explorer if anyone is after one.

PM sent , could pick up after work toonight.

i used to use HiBeams30 but now use Status string, for me they seem about the same and are a lot cheaper!

most XLR outs on a Bass should be a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_audio_connector"]Balanced Output[/url] but i have known people use them to replace the Jack to have a robust connector, or even just to look cool!

i use Warwick Wax on my thumb, and my explorer that been striped down to the wood,, hhmm i think it time to get the wax out now , thanks for reminding me,,,

thedontcarebear, Paul did an excellent job on my Explorer, Striped the paint , sorted the neck and new fretboard and frets. The wood on yours looks like it should come up good oiled or waxed.

pm sent forr zoom and case

I just paid 625 for logic pro7, i will qualify for the free upgrade, but still slightly annoyed!!!

Urb, it will probably take a few days for it to filter through the the Resellers, apparent the london Apple store has the full vers, but sold out of the upgrades quite quickly.
