can someone help

[roballanson]

With all this talk of Buttercream, I was wondering if anyone can shed a little light on my purple ray. Never seen the colour again...was this a yearly one off?

I think its a great colour, when polished....

Can't help with the history, but damn, that's stunning!

Trans Purple was in production for a number of years.

looks sweet with that PG. the light makes the headstock look black which would be dope (but as far i know twas never an option)

I had a trans purple Stingray 5 for a while. Great finishes - yours looks even better with that pickguard.

Looks as thought that could be a graff neck?

The headstock is black... its a status neck... isnt it??

 

[JB1]

It also look svery m8uch like a graphite pattern....

And that is the Status logo.....

Thanks very much for the compliments chaps.

That is indeed a Status graphite neck, unlined and fretless. A little thinner that the stock MM neck and the tone change has been brilliant.
I would highly recommend them if you fancy a change.

If i can find a way to do it, I will post a pic of the lovely weaved pattern down the back of the neck - its like snakeskin.

That's some fretless porn there. What a pretty bass! You're going to make my wife mad. It's bad enough I'm about to order a GT6B.. I've been looking at some fretless acoustics as well.. now I'm thinking about it seriously.

See what you've done!?!

Chris there were these back in February.

Just to update the spec, the Bartolini has gone and been replaced by a Nordstrand 5.3. Wicked. Ducks to avoid incoming.

It is truly my favourite live bass and has been used almost every night over the past two weeks as we have been opening for Bill Kirchen and his band who's touring here. That man just gets better and better.

 

[cgworkman]

Yes, I remember now. Looks great!
