    Lee just bought my Gator Dual Bass case. Quick responses, Hassle free and came and collected it quickly. Deal with total confidence! Thanks Lee!

    Yes - obviously not to hardcase levels, but better than a conventional softcase. It has strengthened sides, so maintains rigidity pretty well and prevents crushing. Plus, the cushioning is fairly thick (around 3cm?) Hope this helps!

    Hi, Sorry I cannot post at the moment! Always find it difficult to source packing materials round my neck of the woods.

    I recently got one of the new design BB3's. I too, was completely skeptical of the claims Barefaced make with regards to them, thinking they couldn't possibly be that good. In short - they are. You can trust them. It's absolute witchcraft how loud and low this thing can go. It goes louder and lower than the Vanderkley MNT210's I had, and both the Hartke and Ashdown 4x10s at my rehearsal rooms (a good comparison as you see these sorts of cabs fairly often on the circuit). Unless you're doing huge outdoor gigs (when you would or should be in a PA anyway) there is no situation where a BB3 doesn't cut it. With super clear tone and great off-axis projection they sound incredible too. Also, weighing just 12kg, you can't go wrong.

    Hi, Here we have my Gator Bass Duo hard/soft case. Bought new 5 months ago for £175. From a smoke free home. All as new, with the rain cover. As the name suggests, comfortably takes two basses! Can't post at this point, so meet up or collection only. I'm based in Moreton in Marsh, which straddles the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Thanks for looking!

    Just purchased a Jazz Bass from David. A total gent and the bass was better than described! Deal with confidence. Thanks again David! The bass is wonderful!

    On this subject, 'RockBass' by Warwick. I have one - but for a 'boutique' bass brand, The name and logo are incredibly childish.

    Any sunburst Fender. It's just the most unimaginative combo of them all, and also has an 'old' image to me. Pointy 'metal basses' and all singlecuts. Ugly beyond belief.

    If only this were 16 strings (I no longer play 15) . . . . GLWTS

    Just had a look at the prices of a certain, well known, Bass shop in London. Astonishing really how prices have ramped right up of late. I know the reasons why (in theory) but I doubt the people trading these basses in, saw any more money in return. There's a MIJ Marcus Miller up for £1550! I sold mine last year for £750!

    That's really not that bad at all! (Relative of course).

    Looks awesome. I like the fact they've gone proprietary on the Pre-amp, too. Colour me curious about the price!

    What it tells me is there are quite a lot of pushy parents in the world.

    One Hot Minute by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Dark, brooding and psychedelic and coming from a bad place, featuring, IMO, Anthony's best lyrics he's ever written, tackling some really heavy stuff (for once). Along with Uplift Mofo, it's my favourite Chili Peppers album. I think it's s*** on a bit, as unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of the 'cult of Frusciante' around the band, and anything with him not playing on, (in this case Dave Navarro) seems to be derided, completely forgetting dear Hillel was the OG.

    I want them to release another Uplift Moto Party Plan!

    It's bang average - like 'Unlimited Love' as an album. I really don't like this modern template they adhere to, Kiedis trying to sing, big choruses - verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo. Another thing I really notice is the production. It's super powerful and clean, yet weirdly empty. They need to dirty up the mixing and mastering process. It suits their chaotic sound (as a live band) a lot more.

    Brand new, sealed. Here we have my EMG BTS 2 band preamp. This was supposed to go onto my old Modulus Flea Bass, but since I've sold that, I have no use for this. EMG blurb ; The BTS Control is a 2-band equalizer for Bass guitar. The BTS features single-pole filters for broadband equalization. Often the broader single-pole filters are preferred for musical instruments because they are less selective, easier on the ear, and sound more “musical”. One of the features of the BTS Control is a 2-position dip-switch that controls the slope of the high frequency response. By choosing one of the four combinations the high frequency response can be tailored to your liking. The BTS Control has a high input impedance and can be used with active or passive pickups. Bass and Treble controls are mounted on a concentric shaft and knobs are included. IN THE BOX 2 CONTROL KNOBS, 2 EXTRA KNOBS, OUTPUT JACK, AND BATTERY CLIP SET. £60 posted in the UK

    Brand new in box and sealed. This was supposed to go onto my Modulus Flea bass, but has become surplus to requirements since I sold the bass. These are currently out of stock at EMG. Blurb from EMG ; The MMHZ is a direct replacement for the original Music Man bass pickup. This passive pickup features a ceramic and steel humbucker design for low noise and plenty of output. This bass pickup has the punch and fullness of a traditional passive with added top end for a more defined tone. The five pin connector allows multiple wiring combinations so you can get both dual-coil and single-coil tone with simple switching. Each pickup is fully shielded for a minimum of noise. IN THE BOX PACKAGE INCLUDES EMG'S EXCLUSIVE SOLDERLESS INSTALL SYSTEM: 1 250K VOLUME POT 1 250K TONE POT 1 MONO OUTPUT JACK 2 PAIR MOUNTING SCREWS 1 BRIDGE GROUND CONNECTOR 1 PICKUP CABLE 2 CONNECT CABLES 1 OUTPUT CABLE 1 BRIDGE GROUND WIRE " £60 posted within the UK.

    Hi, Yes, still available!

    Strange one, this. You don't lay off that amount of employees unless there's something seriously wrong. I wonder what's going on?

    As other people are alluding, when you actually stop to ponder it, considering the work that went into them and the materials used, Status were/are amazing value, especially compared to other UK bass brands that shall remain nameless. I'm really glad that I got to meet Rob and Dawn when picking up my first Graphite neck for my Stingray and look around the workshop. Real UK bass history, right there. As I left, Dawn remarked to me that I should "come back soon and order one of the proper ones". I'm sad I'll never get to do that as it was on my list!

    Modulus and Zon are the only ones that spring to mind. Maybe Bogart?

    Sad news. The end of an era. Reading between the lines though, it seems he might license the name out.
