Just went to check it out , did a search , and saw a Status Groove up for 1.5K - sort of Status Stingray , if you will . Some people's asking prices , as you say , are mental .

After playing 4’s for 35 years, the 19mm on the Dingwall is really nice, but even after a year, I’m still occasionally stumbling when string crossing. So the Modulus is like ‘proper’ 4 string spacing. I’ll see how I get on he he

Yep is really good. Got the East uni Pre I think. 3 stacked knobs- vol/blend, bass/mid, and mid/freq. Then passive tone with pull passive overall. Then two 4 position knobs/ one for each pickup- combinations of front and back coils, and series/parallel. So everything could ever want and more. Think the guy got the Norstrand PU’s as a special build, to accommodate the 21.5 mm bridge spacing

Had this for around 2 months now. Yet to gig it, as for the Soul band, the Dingwall 5P, is pretty much perfect for that. Got quite a few function band deps lined up for next year, so going to have a proper play around, as there is a massive amount of on board controls. So as of yet, I’m still playing around with it. Bought it off someone on here, and wasn’t cheap. Sold two MusicMans, a Framus, and loads of pedals, but it was totally worth it. 35” scale QW5 Modulus Quantum. They did two wide spacing ones- 19 and 21.5 mm. This ones the 21.5 mm. So basically their big standard 17mm 6 string neck, but with 5 strings. It’s really wide

It's still here guys . One of you two requires some Fuzz/Phase action at Christmas - you know it makes sense . -
Will this likely be more down to the volume taper of the amp?

Photo’s a bit blurry- sorry. And the profanity filter has some weird substitutions

I’ve gigged quite a fair bit this year with the new Northern Soul band that started last year. Last night’s was a fosters poor turnout. Other bar (though all open plan as such), had a few, but we had maybe a handful. A few ventured in for a dance then went back. We were offered the chance before we started to get paid the full amount and pack up, or play- our choice. We played, as thought, we may as well. Everyone seems to have either been scared witless unnecessarily, or they’re frightened of having their Christmas screwed up with the dreaded ping. I don’t post in the vaccine topic, lest I get into an argument- even though I’ve been tripled. The venue are really whizzed off- lockdown in all but name, but minus the furlough. Anyway, I digress.

Just got in people, from a late job. So I’ll message everyone tomorrow. Apologies for the delay Paul

I see lots of messages guys. I’m tied up for the next couple of hours, so haven’t had the chance to read any of them yet. I’ll get back to you in a bit. Thanks

The final pedals to go . Some I thought were dead , but turned out it was a faulty Voodoo lab lead . Only original box I have , is for the chorus . All will be well boxed , and all prices are for Recorded/Signed for Royal Mail delivery . SFX Burninator . One off Phaser/Fuzz built for someone . There's a video of this on Youtube , from the previous owner . £110 SFX Micro Fuzz . Only issue with this , is that the LED doesn't work . Everything else is OK . £45 Sold SFX Micro Headphone amplifier . Headphone out is 1/4 " , and AUX in is standard micro jack . £45 Sold SFX Micro Energizer . Sort of like Max's version of the Aphex pedal I reckon . Quite subtle , but a really nice 'slap stomp pedal' . £45 Sold TC Electronic Corona mini chorus . £45 Sold Malekko E.Filter . £45 Sold IE Oxide . £65 Sold Crowther Audio Prunes and Custard . These are great , and a somewhat unique pedal . £110 Sold

Please lock . All sold , bar the one , that's being added to my second cull . Thanks -
Perfect style of bass playing on that too

Final 4 string left of the ongoing cull. I’ve had this for 20 years, and was bought as a graphite necked banger bass- that I’ve used for maybe two gigs that were a possibility of being dodgy ones. Guy I bought it off, said it was a 70’s jazz body, that he got a Vongunton neck out on, when he was in Germany in the RAF. Tuners are big ol reverse tune jobbies. Got Rob Green at Status to take out the knackered electrics out, and replace with one of his 2 band circuits. He also put on one of his bridges. The humbuckers were, to quote him, ‘super output humbuckers, as the output of them was huge. There’s a buzz on the E string from around frets 12 to 15. So the neck isn’t super straight. This, I knew when I got it, but it was super functional for what I needed it for- banger or emergency back up. The batteries had corroded, when I checked last week, so it will require a new wire threading through to the battery compartment- 18 volt system. It’s quite neck heavy- may be the tuners, neck, or a combination of both. Served me well, for what it was needed for, but will no longer be needed by me. Scales are showing 3.5 kgs, then 8lbs- with me on and off with and without bass. But I think they must be wrong, as it feels a lot heavier than that- just trying to be honest here. It’s got a wooden FB on it, so someone could get that replaced which may sort out the slight anomaly with the neck. Or you could break it for the parts. I have absolutely nothing to pack this up with, so please don’t ask- as I’m already waiting in for someone’s courier as I write this. So cash on pick up please. It’ll come in an old Peavey double gig bag, that I rolled with for years- not the best, but perfectly functional. Any questions, just ask away. Thanks -

I think we all know someone who’d carry out that mod

Bad bands - or - where are all the semi-decent musicians?

I did a handful of function band gigs with a keyboard player like that . -
First few minutes is about lending gear out - spot on
-
I need to contact the guy who I’ve got this on hold for. He supposed to be gigging near me this month. So could yet be ‘off’ hold -
There’s more than a few stories of Norman Watt Roy trashing support band bass rigs, by playing too loud- then just walking away. Yet people still say what a diamond bloke he is. Also used to regularly do a bike rally, and my mate had the same Eden rig as me. They booked a well known rock bass player as a headline, with his side band. He had no idea, and nearly blew it up. Pros eh?

Tower PA system, looking for recommendations and reviews

My mate has just sunk loads into a Bose pro8 set up. Used it last night with the ska band and said it was feeding back all over the shop. I’m playing with him next weekend. I’m not sure they’re man enough for a band. He can still change them as has a trial period through PMT. Anyone else used the Bose pro8? -
So what are the differences between the Modulus Flea and the Modulus necked Stingray I sold you?
-
Which 212 Berg model is that?

Picking up an old thread , but just wondering if anyone since is now using one . Now got 2 really nice basses , and looking at the idea of selling stuff and trying one of these .
