I think I saw somewhere he's out on a mini tour with his Daughters.

Went to see Marillion at the Brighton Dome a couple of months ago and the support act was the Beggs Sisters. Nick Beggs on double bass with his daughters on acoustic guitars and vocals. They were very good.

That’s a beautiful bass, and complete with it’s original case too. I really want one of these.

Yes, active/passive switch.

Lovely basses btw.

And together with the Jaydee... 

 

Had a brief play on it today, the weight is excellent, i think it's actually quite a bit lighter then the claimed 3.9kg. The playability is also excellent and i was able to get the action super low

although now will need a fret dressing at the bass gallery.

 

Tone is great but i have no idea what the switch does, in the down position it seems to engage the bass and treble controls but when i flick it up does this put it in passive mode?

I would have pounced on this as soon as it reduced in price if I hadn't been abstaining from purchasing gear this year.  Well jel, congrats.

Yes I held out as long as I could thinking it would go but it didn't. It was too good not to buy at the price and local too. It's well used of course but still a bargain and a great addition to the collection.

Was that the ebay one? 

Looks fantastic. 🙂👍

Yes, from eBay.

And here she is, bought as a project/something to do over Christmas. Was located just 20 mins up the road so hard to resist!Totally stripped down, every screw and component cleaned, tuners dismantled and straightened and repaired, fretboard gunk cleaned, oiled and frets levelled, all chrome polished, body polished and some chips repaired, neck correctly realigned, new strings and full setup, plays and sounds great!

A lot of bass for a small amount of cash.

This is the tool. I recently bought an 80s Yamaha BB which surprisingly came with original tool kit. Took me a few minutes to figure out what it was for!

Three position toggle switch for cut/flat/boost of mid frequencies used in conjunction with the middle black knob.

I would gladly re home that Status for you!!!

Yes it’s a kickass 5. I didn’t realise quite how much larger than the 4 string version they are until it arrived in the post and I almost sent it back. I’ve subsequently acquired a used hip shot A style bridge so may change it at some point.

Here’s one I put together.

I had one as my first bass too. A cream one. My mum paid £25 for it at a local secondhand shop for me around 1973. Quite a sum for her at that time. That was the start of a lifelong obsession with all things bass for me!  GLWTS.

Yes I know, that’s why I found it so blinking difficult!

The bass solo break in Call me Al. Our keys player/band leader insisted we had to have it in our set list every gig despite my protests! I think he loved to see the look of terror on my face as we worked our way through the song to that dreaded bit where I would quite often just freeze or at best just slap anything just to fill the gap. I worked on it for years by which time I had managed to come up with something really quite passable. There was just one time I felt I actually perfectly nailed it at a gig. After that it was dropped and we never did it again!!!

Simple but effective!

LED tape light?

Singlecuts don't usually do it for me but that is a stunning looking instrument! 

Top quality basses these, I've owned one since the late 80s, but they did cost a small fortune, about  £1800 in '88 if I remember correctly, not an insignificant amount of money at the time. Great feel and sound especially with the piezo pickups. I love the blue ones. Enjoy!
