  1. Further pm's replied. When one pm's it, would be nice if one bumped . Interest from Germany and Spain on this one. C'mon England Attempts at slightly better photos, bass is really in excellent condition, but the lighting shows I need to get a polishing!

  2. At the creamery and no "helps play like butter gags" yet? What is the world coming to
  3. PM's replied. Always tricky with Fender, but as I understand it (happy to be corrected) the serial numbers were 00001 to 01000 over the four colours that were made. People are advertising the STANDARD USA 75 RI at £1250 and upwards now they are discontinued. Not suggesting to buy this as an investment, but I would be surprised if they ever fall in price. Cheers, Karl.
  4. [quote name='Bassman666' timestamp='1385419121' post='2288159'] I bought Karl's one and its an awesome bass! Lovely neck and I've upgraded to dimarzio's does make me crave a 'proper' attitude! That looks great in black! [/quote] Having had a "proper" Attitude, I preferred this model tbh. This has a thinner nut, the proper one is a baseball bat and the x tender doesn't help the already present neck dive on the "proper" one. As for two outputs, I've never had two amps . Scalloped frets, I'm not allowed up the dusty end. The Dimarzio's are a good move though. The pups on these are good, the pups on the "proper" model are sensational. More growl than a p'd off Rottweiler . You lot better be quick, I only live about 10 miles from Martyn, they may be a pick up offer going in anytime . If it had been green it would already be gone!
  5. REDUCED TO £1100 2002 very limited edition US jazz, rare bass. Hopefully attached is a link to Talkbass. Mine is serial number 00167, in very good nick. Not had it long, but it is far too precious for me to use in the gigs we play. Will take a Fiesta Red, road worn series Mex jazz in part ex. Bass is in Wigan, would like [s]£1200 [/s]£1100 cash collected. The following link shows one exactly the same with the specification, on a thread on T***bass.

Struggling to get in to little room for photos as my Ma is occupying it at the moment. No PAINPal, bank transfer, cleared cheque or cash in grubby paw please. If you do not live on these shores and wish to buy it, you will need to organise your own courier and insurance. My last two have gone to Sweden and Germany, so it is possible. UK mainland courier will be about £35 including full insurance. Anybody close to Wigan please feel free to come and try and my feedback is at bottom of post.

  6. Hello Clint, sorry to but in but I noticed you had had a look at my profile. I guessed it maight be because I have a FSR 2002 Candy Apple Red, matching headstock , with ashtrays,75 jazz RI for sale on Bass market UK. It may go up on here yet (I am fully paid up for adverts). I am going to attempt to attach a bit from Talkbass, plus some poor photos of mine to help with your research. I am sad to admit that since you put up photos of the 64 in Sea Foam, I am bessoted with the colours of that custom shop jazz, so may put a bit more effort into selling this and my Status. Good luck with what you decide and hope this helps, cheers, Karl. EDIT, sorry, this is the Factory Special Run, American bass, spec in following link.

  7. Oh dear, I sold my Sea Foam Green one a few months back because it didn't seem to work as well with my Barefaced. Still regretting it, between me and it's previous owner it had done over 400 gigs! Fabulous piece of kit. GLWTS Martyn
  8. Somebody please buy it, I'm weakening by the hour!
  9. I have seen two Japanese used 75 RI's up for between £900 and £1000 of late. And they wonder why they don't sell. I only got £850 for my immaculate USA 75 RI.
  10. Killer rig. I had one of these amps, loudest amp I have ever had and this is a bargain! GLWTS, Karl.
  11. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1385050876' post='2283881'] Bet I laughed louder than you [/quote] If he gets £1800 he will definitely be laughing loudest
  12. I really must stop looking at this wondrous beast as well, before I put yet another bass up for sale . Bump.
  13. I genuinely laughed out loud reading this one! [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/1988-fender-precision-lyte-bass-guitar-gorgeous/1039499582"]1988 fender precision lyte bass guitar - gorgeous. Warwickshire[/url]
  14. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1384932800' post='2282363'] I have never sent such a message, and don't plan to. However, there are auctions where the price is significantly out of whack. E.g. second hand items being sold for more than the new price. Items listed for double what they normally go for, or more. I just roll my eyes and move on, but I can imagine some potential buyers being frustrated that an item they would be prepared to pay a fair price for is 'available', but at an unrealistic price. [/quote] This, nail, head.
  15. Don't know how anyone can just guess without trying them Sea foam green is very tempting as a paint job would be over £200 and Fender don't seem to be able to mix that colour any more. Tempting to buy just for the body.
  16. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384461490' post='2277113'] Really..? Better have four, then. [/quote] What, ANOTHER four
  17. Keeps going down, it was £21k couple of months back.
  18. My second one. Love it. Very clear, need to hit notes properly but the depth and width are IMO both between Jazz and P. Sound wise, you have a good amp with EQ? You get pretty much what you want.

  19. Isn't that you Clarky, second from right ?
  20. Hello Si, it is indeed the Custom distressed Status from Ebay. Built for James Stelfox (Starsailor) at the same time as Martin Blunt's (Charlatans). Think James pulled it when he realised the low BIN would be hurt be fees. This was one of the ones before Status started the Vintage Artist series. Rather close to the Guy Pratt one. Meanwhile, back at the Mex P Bass Special Deluxe series, lot's more PM's replied, this will probably be gone by the end of today. At least three are in the final throes of pushing the button. Cheers, Karl. GONE THANKS, to a chap from Bumtree.
  21. Christoph has just bought my now ex AV 75 Jazz Re-Issue. When it comes to selling something outside of the UK I am reluctant as I once had a big problem. As a result of that I will only sell outside the UK if the buyer abides by my requests. Christoph was absolutely marvellous and frankly shames me that he can converse in English better than I can. So, EXCELLENT bloke, deal with utmost confidence, Christoph is a credit too himself. Enjoy the bass my friend and many thanks for being so decisive and organised. Cheers, Karl. Edit, nearly forgot Christoph, link to strings [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html"]Status Graphite. The finest hand-made graphite basses and guitars. Made in England.

  22. More PM's replied. Sorry folks, sale only. Cheers, Karl.
  23. Top bloke, top bass, but not a top fisherman (sorry Bob, only joshin!) GLWTS and enjoy the fishing you lucky sod! Cheers, Karl.
  24. Further pm's replied, thank you. In response to one comment, I think the price, either couriered or collected, is rather good for a bass that is really not that far off the American version. Right, brag alert. The following Status Custom is why this cracking Special Deluxe needs to go [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0374_zps4d98a8de.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0374_zps4d98a8de.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0375_zpsfb453879.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0375_zpsfb453879.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
