Beedster Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 There was such a beast sold on here about a year back if I remember correctly. I was wondering what it is like tonally in comparison to the normal Precision sound (I'm wanting something graphite again and I have a couple of options, one of which is buying a Status graphite Precision neck).

Dr.Dave Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Was it fiesta red? If so it was a Greek guy who was trying to raise funds for a (I think) Rickenbacker. I tried to buy it but for some reason he ceased contact during the deal. Can't think of his username at the Mo. I'll try and forget it then it'll come to me while I'm having my tea or something.

I'd like to give graphite a go on a Precision but would like to try - or at least get some feedback - first (I might even buy the thing if it's available and if I wasn't treading on your toes ) Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbass Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) I thought the fiesta red fender with the graph neck was a jazz? Edited April 21, 2008 by kevbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I can't remember now if it was a Jazz or a Precision , I was just interested in the graphite neck. Now I think of it wasn't there a blue one going too , maybe not quite so long back. I've since bought another Status so I wouldn't be in the market now anyway. In the address book for my old email there's a Greek guy's email address. I don't like giving folks emails out but if you like I'll pass a message on for him to have a look at this thread. Course it might be a bloke I met on holiday or something but could be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmz Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Chris, If you do end up getting a graphite neck for your P-bass, let me know how you get on with it. I'm thinking about a Status unlined fretless P-bass neck for my Jazz [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13885"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13885[/url] However I do rather like the Japanese fretless P-bass neck that's on it at the moment and am contemplating a polymer coating for the fingerboard. Would be rather extravagant to have two fretless necks for one bass - a little devil pops out of my head every once in a while and says - "do it, do it" mind......... We'll see - £340 is a lot for a neck - that's the price plus VAT and shipping for the Status graphite neck. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
