    I had forgotten about that one.

    FSOs and Stingrays. Never got on with either, never going back now.

    I smell banhammer. There are a couple of delicate types over there that think they work for twitter.

    The one I sort of regret going is my Ibanez RS824. Complicated story, but I really liked that bass. As I hardly touch a 4 these days, I'm not sure it would get much love now anyway.

    I haven't but I wanted one for a while when they first came out - I'm trying to thin the herd rather than expand it ATM. There's the HB thread on TB where a couple of people have bought these and I think Lobster has a video coming up very soon on one as IIRC an unboxing video was linked, but I never watch those. There was also another thread on TB where one person was upset they'd copied an Arai that went for a while too. I think some had bought them in that one too. Both are in the last couple of months.

    I'll do that. Thanks for the heads up.

    Nice collectable or historical piece for a fan, but I'd rather have my S2000. Being played by a name has little interest for me, but I hope whomever gets it is a fan and really loves it. Especially if they play it and it's not just a prop in someone's office.

    That's fine, I merely offered an alternative. It's up to the punter whether a particular brand has value for them.

    Kalium.

    Look at one on a Jag bass which is basically the same size as a P or J from memory and tell me it looks proportional, even referenced to a P or J. It looks like a child with a head it's yet to grow into. The other reason I'm not fond of them is they often have large and heavy tuners that are all the way out on the end of a lever arm which makes them neck heavy, or at least heavier than it needs to be.

    Thanks for the info, but still never used one on a 4, let alone now on a 5 or 6; I was taught floating thumb from my first lesson. You can get a lot of tonal variation simply by moving the plucking hand position, so much so that for years I never varied my EQ on my amp, just changed how and where I played. Not better/worse, just different technique and giving my perspective. The finger rest design here also doesn't look like your typical Fender one, so my initial look at the pic didn't register that that's what it was.

    I've never found the need for one.

    Makes sense now, but I should have seen it. I'm so used to thinking of them between pickups like on my BTB, it didn't occur to me that's what it was. Plus I don't think I've ever seen one on an SR.
  14. crazycloud
    Tree 1, car 0. I hope it was something generic and not an irreplaceable ride.
  15. crazycloud
    Wonderful, isn't it? I won't have music or any other distractions, especially when it's only hand tools.

    I've ordered the parts for a SS 6 build. My new job will have me going right past a major timber supplier soon, so I suspect some of my pay will be staying there. There are ideas circulating on my mind, and exact details are yet to be sorted, but suffice as to say, it will be my take on an SRC6.
  17. crazycloud
    What's with the bit next to the pickup?
  18. crazycloud
    I'm right at the point where no matter what Status come out with next, I don't care, and I won't be buying one. Only because I can't afford what I'd like to get.
  19. crazycloud
    Wow, memories. I had a 4 similar to the one in the OP, maybe mid 90s. Nice bass, well made.

    Better the bass than you I suppose. I had a work colleague that used to park his car in the rear of the large work car park because he didn't want door dings. He came onto shift one day and had barely swiped in when security came to the control room to inform him a huge gum tree branch had just fallen on his car and flattened it. The fire brigade attended (leaking fluids) and told me they'd have been hosing him out if he'd been in it when it fell. Pity*, he was a right prat. The irony was that he'd parked under the only tree branch anywhere near the car park in a lot of maybe 500 spaces which was barely filled as it was a night shift starting on a bright, clear and sunny afternoon with no breeze. I have an S2000 headless that hardly gets touched as it's a 4. Owned it maybe 20y now. * I don't really mean that. I'm glad he wasn't hurt, but every time he annoyed me after that I shook my fist at the heavens...

    That's what put me off one. Prices have also risen lately, and there are few available in the Antipodes, so I'm probably not going to ever get one, no matter how curious I am.
  22. crazycloud
    I like the Kingbass, but would love it if it had another string.
  23. crazycloud
    I don't think so.
  24. crazycloud
    As am I. Given the choice, I'd rather not have one at all, especially a huge 4IL paddle like a Fender.

    I'd like another Alembic Series 2, but none I see second hand are close to what I'd spec if I had one built from scratch. New are a tad on the expensive side and the wait time too long. Plus I'm really not sure what I'd use it for that one of my modest basses wouldn't do just as well. Other than that, maybe an Ibanez EHB1265. I have zero interest in any of the vintage basses that command high $.
