yorks5stringer 1,788 Posted November 16, 2020 Luthier built, but I'm thinking with a mahogany body and that body shape the headstock will be heading downwards... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyctes 448 Posted November 17, 2020 Um. I'm a bit suspicious of this: "I have seen the same pickup branded di marzio". How would he know it was the same? And "branded" suggests he's not entirely sure either. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellzero 3,945 Posted November 17, 2020 The pickup is a Schaller 232 Bassbucker from the 80's. 😉 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has he changed the post? It claims the body's walnut? I don't know what effect that would have, not being up on my woods (oo-err missus!). IIRC walnut is less dense that mahogany which would make it dive more. Is that right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a few Status basses over the years, all but one with mahogany bodies, and one solid walnut. It always seemed heavier than the others... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
