Beedster Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Body bought from @pluckedout on here a few months back, it has a fast wearing LPB nitro finish that you're either going to love or hate I'd guess. Plays beautifully with (unusually in my experience) a VERY nice Mighty Mite Precision neck which I suspect has had some work round edges and dressing frets. It has a nice retro feel and with flats a nice retro tone also. Fender US 62RI PUP, lovely Gotoh lollipops also 👍 I've overspent on some building work or this would be going nowhere. A few other rather nice Fender-alikes will be wandering onto the market over the next few days for the same reason I'll post more detailed pics at the weekend No trades, price is firm. Thanks. I have several decent boxes so can courier at costs although I'd prefer collection or meet up (I'm in Whitstable but get to London regularly). I'll post some more detailed pics at the weekend with covers off etc 👍 BTW in the flesh it has a slightly more LPB tint, it doesn't look quite this blue!

Paul C Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Really cool bass. If you could post the weight when you get chance to weigh it that would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Paul C it's weighing in at a relatively delicate 3.7kgs albeit on bathrooms scales 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 If you ever feel like parting this out, keep me in mind for the neck please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 The original FS thread for the body is here, posting because it has some background on the body plus to my mind the photos are a better representation of the colour of the bass 👍 And no the Status graphite neck is not for sale before you ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I am glad that I do not need another 4 string. This is lots and lots of good things in one place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, nicely put mate 👍 I played my Enfield (also for sale) last night and then played this to get a comparison of neck profile for a potential buyer of the former and something I hadn't ever really noticed before - because it's never been an issue for me - is just how light 3.7kgs is when you're standing up and playing. Big part of me wondering if I should stick the Warmoth Precision FL neck back on and use this for gigs, I'm not getting any younger after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a PM if you're still interested in the neck 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
