Spoke to Status yesterday and they had a batch of 3 jazz necks just going to polishing...so I ordered one of them for me today. I also ordered the tuners today tick tock

More parts are arriving.

That looks like a fantastic neck.......I want

Give it a few months and a lack of a replacement from fender and I suspect these will go for around the £500 mark. That is fairly cheap for what a 6 month old good 2x12 seems to fetch. i don't see why these should be any different. So they were available for a short time @ £379 so what? - if they are so desirable then why should they go for anything less than comparable products from other manufacturers?

I've had the same with my Warmoth - some clever dick asked me if it was a Sadowsky......er no

Many years ago before an important gig the band were read a review, in the dressing room, that had just been handed to management: [i]“To say that Sad Lovers & Giants (Ho Ho) have not got a great deal going for them would be an understatement indeed. A name of unremitting clumsiness, a press release capable of ending careers and a music steeped in a tradition of limp derivation. They've listened to the Banshees, they've listened to the Cure, sorted out the good bits and used the rest.” [/i] I'm not sure management fully understood the psychology of motivation.

Mine died in rehearsal last night after a total of about 10hours use over 3 sessions. Mine was in line on the input to the amp so I was playing along and suddenly nothing....most disconcerting. As the instructions state it is good for 'upto 36 hours' I was surprised as I wasn't powering much from it ( BBE OptoStomp on all the time, COG custom analog chorus used some of the time & a TU3 tuner used only at the start of sessions to tune up). Does the BBE OptoStomp draw unusually high current? I think it would be prudent, in future to ensure it is fully charged before every session.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384261609' post='2274540'] As usual I recommend Minotaur straps. Greek leather, padded, extra wide (4.3" - 11cm), long (adjustable to 59" - 150cm) and great value. I've had mine for years and it makes my P bass seem very light.

Support the Greek economy! [/quote] Fantastic straps - Love mine

I quite liked it but then I would

Here is the showcase pic of the body before routing for the pickup or drilling the control holes or drilling for the bridge for that matter: [attachment=148501:bp1694a.jpg][attachment=148500:bp1694b.jpg]

Crikey! Edit - Scratch that - I accidentally was looking at an old order

Can the Genz footswitch work with the streamliner and switch between presets? It's supposed to work on the shuttle but I didn't get one for mine.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1384447950' post='2276858'] So you're building a Fleabass? Si [/quote] Not exactly NO hahaha Wait and see

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1384446397' post='2276839'] I reckon it'll look pretty cool. The scratchplate sounds unusual, do you have a link? [/quote] To the blank? I bought a sheet from Warmoth like this: [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Blank-Stock-10x16-Green-Pearl-P1606C862.aspx"]http://www.warmoth.c...-P1606C862.aspx[/url] but I only bought 10" x 12" - i didn't need 10" x 16" - it is being shipped with the bass body. It will be more like a stingray scratchplate than a pbass plate, as it won't go down to the knobs - one reason why I got the green pearl inly knobs.

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1384441674' post='2276739'] 4 string I suppose? [/quote] Aye just the 4 - it's all I ever need

I really ought to have the Warmoth website blocked on any computer I use. I spotted in the showcase a gloss black dinky p body which was hanging around in there for a few weeks and I started getting urges to buy it and build something with it. I then started to get interested in Status necks so a plan came together. The dinky P is a sort of cut down p bass body with a rear control rout so designed to not have a scratchplate. see attached pic I thought all that expanse of black would be a bit featureless so am going to stick on a custom shaped green pearl plate. I have spoken to TheBassDoc about the possibility of having him make the plate but have also discovered that there is a brand new CNC machine here at work which has so far successfully already made a custom pickguard for one of my colleagues' SG guitar.....so I might give that a go. Anyway the planned spec is:- Warmoth dinky p gloss black body 4lb 5oz before pickup rout - ordered Status Jazz neck - ordered Gotoh GB640 res-o-lite tuners nickel - ordered Babicz chrome bridge - got it - nickel ordered chrome will go on the P/J that currently has a gotoh201 Hipshot 3 string chrome string retainer - got it Fender original precision split pick up - got it Q-parts chrome mini knobs with green pearl inlay - ordered (also ordered black chrome as unsure which will look best!) Custom 4 ply green pearl pickguard - blank material ordered pearl green/white/black/white Passive pots (CTS 250k) - got them Mono switchcraft jack - got it Chrome neckplate on black plastic pad - ordered Fender strap buttons with black felts - got them After much debate I think I might get a local luthier to fit the neck - I have been warned that the Status graphite isn't the easiest of stuff to work with so might leave the drilling and screwing to a pro for that bit. Anyway - I shall keep you all posted What do you think of my idea?

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1384360246' post='2275689'] Great spec! Si [/quote] It has changed a little as just ordered some q-parts chrome green pearl topped dome knobs.....otherwise as you were OK so for my next guess: 51 style slab p body alder in sonic blue white 3 ply scratchplate tele headstock shape maple board neck# vintage style reverse tuners single coil 51 pickup Fender BBOT vintage bridge Flats with a slight relic job ??

Alder warmoth dinky pbody in gloss black Pearl green 4ply custom scratchplate Fender original p pickup Babicz chrome bridge Fender chrome knobs Gotoh gbr640 resolite tuners nickel Status jazz neck Passive - or perhaps a P-retro d'Addarrio half wound strings Hipshot 3 string chrome retainer Fender strap buttons with black felts I know this is way wide of the mark but just happens to be the bass that I am about to build (just ordered the body and scratchplate material).....watch this space Not sure if I will transplant the p-retro from my yellow bass...
