Farewell my Sterling ...

[Evil_Ernie_Ball]

I'm going to trade my Sterling for A nice Fretless headless Status...
I now realize more than ever I will always stay in love with headless basses
Damn Mark King !
No need to say goodbye to the Ernie Ball forum though ! I still have my EB MM Audiophile HD-500 bassamp
And it's just too much fun here !!

Your name says it all.




O.T. - Do you know Micheline Van Hautem?

 

[Evil_Ernie_Ball]

Nope ....

 

[Big Poppa]

you'll be back...it is just a temporary setback!

 

[Joe Nerve]

Nope ....

OK. She's a singer in Belgium, known for doing reditions of the music of Jaques Brel. Just curious.

I also agree you'll be back.

I'm allready having second doubts ..
The Fretless Status is an older model with no trussrod
I had some bad experiences with Graphite neck basses with no trussrods...
Is it common for graphite to bend ?
this fretless is a neck trough model though so the bridge is in fact conected on the neck ... is it possible that the neck can bend and you can't bend it back ?
I had a Steinberger XL2 with that problem...(at least thats what they said in the store) but now I read somwhere that the graphite of steinberger isn't 100% graphite but has some wood in it
Status graphite is 100% graphite no ?

many thanx allready

Call me crazy, but I think the people at Status would know better what their necks are made of since most of us don't play a Status...I'd email them if they dont' have a forum.
