Hi
Just found the forum. I'm on a couple of the usual uk ones.
I've not got a full Status but have a couple of basses equipped with their stunning necks.

A Precision with an unlined J neck;



And my 'it's getting buried with me' bass, an 88 Ray with Status neck;



Cheers

Welcome on board David. You'll only find proper basses here :D I think your necks make those proper basses. ()

Nice.

Out of curiosity, what difference did you find the Status neck made to the StingRay? I had almost exactly the same one with a Status pickup and Seymour Duncan electronics. Could never get a sound I was happy with (compared to the Buzzard 2 that I own) and toyed with the idea of the neck upgrade but in the end sold the musicman and put the money towards an S3...

I've got a collection of 6 Ray's and had about another 3 through my hands including a 77. Out of all of them this beats them by a mile. Amazing clarity, huge sustain and a bottom end that is big enough to fill a room but is tight and defined. Also the EQ seems to respond more evenly too. It's an amazing difference and the fretless has the same qualities.

Cool, good to know (I might be in the market for another one, as it turns out).

What pickup / electronics are you using?

It's the original 88 pickup and an East MM 2 band. They were designed on the original 76 circuit but with iirc +3dB more on both bands?
