razze06 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1337502640' post='1660867'] theres an active chrome pickup one on edinburgh gumtree, I've been chatting to the fella seems nice. about £200. ...which is a lot less than if Rob Green made a new one. Though I doubt they are set up anymore to make wood necks [/quote] I got in touch with the guy, hopefully i'll be able to try it and perhaps take it home...

razze06 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Ok got it today. Looks really nice, and i've got a soft spot for natural wood basses. The neck is thin and flat, not much unlike a thin precision neck. I've only played it 20 minutes, but i'm already loving the versatility. I'll take to band practice tomorrow night and put it through its paces. Only one between this and the bassmaster funk will stay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razze06 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Verdict after one practice session: most impressed, great versatility and playability. A bit on the fugly side, but I don't care. I noticed its output changes a lot between the three eq switch positions. When the boost is on the mids, the perceived volume is very high compared to the middle (no pre shape), and when the switch is in the other pre-shape position, the volume is very low. Bit of a shame, as I may have to work the amp between songs if I change switch, which I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
only4 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I'm not contacting you by mistake this time! I think I own your old Status Shark Proactive. The chrome wear on the bridge is the same, I bought it about 3 years ago in Manchester and use it as my main bass. I recently bought a Status Groove which has the same neck profile but a MM positioned pickup. Both great basses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
