I still maintain that Andrew Borger is one of my faves, he really plays around with this song whilst keeping the groove! Si

[quote name='steve-soar' post='631353' date='Oct 20 2009, 02:23 PM']Hi Si, well done on the job front. Save your money, you have some wicked basses already.[/quote] You are of course right, I have some lovely basses, three in particular. But there are two that could get replaced by even lovelier ones. My Drop C OLP Stingray and my parts P/J are both currently not Jazz Basses lol, something needs to be done :-P [quote name='GreeneKing' post='631355' date='Oct 20 2009, 02:24 PM']Good news Si. Will you get a trade discount?[/quote] I should think so, although like I said, they don't really carry a lot of stock, so I'm not sure what's available to me....I know they deal with Fender time-to-time Si

....in a guitar shop....pretty small one, but it's a wage! Over the last few weeks (while the job has been pending), I've been window-shopping my non-existing pay packets on the following: - Custom Shop Fender Jazz - Status Vintage GP - a lightweight backup amp Fortunately all of this is looking a lot more likely now .............now do I put in the order for the CS!? Si

Anyway Does anyone have any pics or info about the line of Jazz & Precision style basses that Status used to do? I'm talking about the line that preceded the current 'Vintage' line! Any ideas? Cool Si

Hahahahaha, was literally just checking this thread again and my Sister pops up on facebook telling me to watch this: Hehe Si

Check the 'Online Shop' section of: [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html"]http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html[/url] Si

[quote name='Musicman20' post='630590' date='Oct 19 2009, 06:10 PM']My other issue is that if you sell a custom...you never usually get the value back that it should retain.[/quote] Yeah but that's the same with any bass guitar, or instrument in general, that isn't a vintage Fender lol Si

My Grandma lives in Thorrington, I was born in Clacton and I went to the Colne High School in bsea! Hurrah! and erm......just sent an email to Status about the 'Vintage' series....oooops Si

Whats wrong with it? Si

Yeah Bsea is really nice, whenever I go back for christmas, so for 4 or 5 days, I always get very very sleepy haha! But yeah, back on topic, maybe I should start looking at Statii lol, I think my tone GAS is cured with my Jazz basses.....but there's always 'Sexy Bass' GAS haha Si

I'm also from Colchester.........well...Brightlingsea, but again, consider Colchester as 'my town'. Big Colchester United fan too My parents still live there, so I get back every now and then, and always visit the Bass Merchant when I do. I really like the idea of owning a Status, home-town styley, will have to get around to trying one at a gig! Si

"T-Mobile have told me to start this myspace, so I have" ....is what it should say lol good luck to him Si

Great video, I love Meyer's playing

You don't actually seem to be selling this! So off to 'Bass Guitars' Si

[quote]Not even slightly... you're in the middle of a gig and you want to adjust your volume. How do you do it without screwing up the blend? Don't tell me to turn both equally.... I won't believe you laugh.gif Or.. ditto... how to adjust the blend without screwing up the volume. You can't! It's a ridiculous arrangement.[/quote] Amps have volumes that are perfect for turning up and down! I actually treat my Jazzes as just having blends, my bridge is always maxed and I blend in the neck to suit. General volume is an amp thing, I rarely have to adjust mid-gig, and dynamics between different types of songs is in my fingers. Si

[quote name='markl' post='626732' date='Oct 15 2009, 10:14 AM']Another reason I got the Deluxe - one volume control.[/quote] Surely this is the same? 2 volume knobs or 1 volume & 1 blend same thing! And if you don't have a tuner that mutes your signal......that's your fault lol Si

I'm still waiting for you to take up my Bronco challenge . The thing is, even once you get down to the details, it's still immensly subjective. If you take the whole want/craving thing to it's conclusion, we'd be living as Buddhist monks. The meditation on, and realisation of the roots of 'craving' is the first chapter in many Buddhist texts. Similarly this means that your 'craving' to be a better musician, comes from the same place as GAS. So like I said, nothing actually matters (the line between Buddhism and Nihilism is a often debated), and the only way of differentiating what is more important is subjective opinion. Si

I now demand that Bilbo does a gig on a Squier Bronco, and provide us with pictures to show us that it's "just about the music" Si

Off to 'Gigs' Si
