Awesome! Over the years I've had one Stingray & two Sterling's. Love those basses & congrats!!
How do the necks compare of the Modulus & Status? I've only owned Zon's and now a Modulus VJ (with the Chechen fingerboard). I always wanted to try a Status. Modulus looks awesome btw.
Thanks! Your Modulus looks great also. I grade my Modulus' neck as pure perfection. Very slim and fast. Helps that I chose the satin finish option. It's by far the best neck I ever played.
As for the Status, I chose the 39mm nut width option (standard is the Pbass-like 42.5mm), as I've always been a "J Neck" type of guy. It's great also, though I little bit thicker than the Modulus and Ibanez. I could have opted for a satin finish also, but I had heard Status' standard finish is a more than satisfactory... I can confirm that it is. So they're just a bit different, with the Modulus a little thinner. And Rob Green from Status builds exceptionally high quality instruments, can't ask for better.
Speaking of the latter, the Ibanez's neck is the smallest I've ever played on (feels even thinner than the Modulus). It's awesome if you're into that. Plus the Wenge wood makes it feel like butter.
It’s a a Hohner Jack.

That's terrific and thank you! I didn't get a choice of finish for the Modulus neck as I bought the instrument used - but so far, I can only say that I love the neck on it & the EMG's. Thanks for sharing info on the Status basses as well. At one time, I almost bought a new standalone neck from Status for my J-bass. The reason I was even in that situation is because I paid in full for a Modulus neck (around 2009 or 2010?) but that's when the problem at Modulus reached an apex so the shop I bought the Modulus neck from issued me a refund. Status's always intrigued me though as I am a fan of graphite.
Go ‘Stros!
This is getting to be a regular occurrence lately...

The mouse is an ‘06. Fretless, color top Ash back, Curly maple neck, Goncalvo Alves board, That F hole Made it five month build Instead of a three month build but it was worth the wait. The bass gets a lot of use Especially in acoustic situations and in church. Play it through an acoustic image Coda^^^...more about the Mouse!
