wow maybe ill bid on that too =X

is there a way just to get that neck?

 

[EBMM7181]

I love those NAMM Stingrays, one of the best looking basses I've ever seen.

Go get it Rex!

$1500ish probably... and i don't think you can just buy those necks.... although you can buy other graphite necks on ebay that fit EBMM's, i think some modulus necks do, and obviously there's some EBMM ones lurking about too

Wait 6 days, 2 hours and you'll find out how much it's worth

 

[scowboy]

You can buy the neck directly from Status for $500 if want to retrofit.

Just do a google on status-graphite.

Very funny.
I just wanted to make sure I don't pay way to much.

Sorry Billy, wrong silver. He's silverbass. Gorgeous bass, but I'm pretty happy with what I've got, and I bet that one won't be cheap...

I'd be surprised if that didn't hit two grand.

I worried about that

 

[Psycho Ward]

If it were a lefty I'd go 3 grand, but we have to do that sort of thing...

I paid $2000 for one of those, from basscentral.com a year or so ago. I sent it right back, though. The tone was very "un-EBMM". Very hollow sounding, and it had to be that neck. Not that I'm an anti-graphite/carbon-fiber neck guy - I love them on Modulus basses. But on this setup - or with this particular type of graphite neck, the Status ... it just did nothing for me. I was disappointed. Beautiful bass. Of course, you may absolutely love the tone - as we all know, that's highly subjective.

Happy hunting,
Robert

It's rare, you want one, so it's worth how much you're willing to pay to get it.

 

[oli@bass]

Looking forward to seeing how far you guys go!

 

[silverbass]

Oh but never having played it I don't want to pay so much that I take a big hit when selling if I don't like it when it arrives.

 

[Mongo]

The auction says it was never played out.

I think that's kind of a shame.

I think that's kind of a shame.

If I get it that shame will be remedied immediately

[oli@bass]

(however, be careful with temperature changes... I can tell you a less than pleasant story...)
