Would you be interested in a well used, all graphite Status Series 2000?

Since there's nothing structurally or electrically wrong with the bass I'd think somewhere around £500-600 quid would set it pretty close to 'as new'. And my DP Osborne does have a battery compartment on the back - but I've the East pre out of it and running it passive (control plate from a Geddy Lee on there at the minute).

Yeah Kev. It's a great bass, just not the sound for me.

Yeah... 'you sure got a pretty mouth boy!'...

Hi guys, As some of you probably remember I spent quite a bit of time looking for a Status towards the end of last year. I found this one languishing in the no-interest bin on Ebay and made the guy an offer offline. The bass has had a pretty hard life (at the hands of its previous owners might I add) but is structurally 100%. A picture tells a 1000 words as they say, so here we go. Most of the pics were from the guy I bought it off last year and the bass has been babied since. As well as the damage shown in the pics the bass has 3 non-matching strap buttons and some damage near the bottom bout (where an edge mounted jack socket is usually found) that's been repaired with some sort of black epoxy. The damage probably of most concern is the epoxy coating has been chipped off along the edge of the fretboard from frets 1 to 12 to varying degrees. It never bothered me, but I realise it would probably bother quite a few people. I've spoken to Rob at Status and he quoted about £300 to have the neck re-epoxied, fret dress, new strings and a setup. This one shows damage on top edge of neck around frets 3-5 [attachment=19788:05022009118.jpg] This one shows damage on bottom edge of neck around frets 1-3 [attachment=19789:05022009119.jpg] This one shows damage on bottom edge of neck further up the register a little [attachment=19790:05022009120.jpg] If you can live with the basses problems it does have a lot to offer. It sounds great and there's no moving the neck at all. But my love for my Lakland JO knows no bounds I'm afraid. I bought this bass as a gigging basher but can't leave my JO in its case so this has to go. I just have too many other basses. I'd be after £400 (firm) for the bass, not including postage which would probably be another £30 (since I'm in Northern Ireland and get raped frequently by couriers). Also would consider trades for a nice Strat/Tele/Les Paul type electric Cheers Ian [attachment=19787:2.jpg][attachment=19791:DSC02243.JPG][attachment=19792:DSC02282.JPG][attachment=19 793:DSC02286.JPG][attachment=19794:DSC02294.jpg]

Black with Bart NTMB active circuit (including mid-shift switch like the 55-02). As I say I haven't really decided if I want to part with it, but stick up some pics of the RH and I'll give it some more thought. Cheers Ian

Would you consider a Lakland 55-01? I'm not sure I want to part with it, but just wanted to gauge your interest before I'd even consider it!

Thank goodness for that... thought I was going to have to break the piggy bank again!

Another quick question - I know some of Stu Hamm's basses have a 32" sclae. Is this 32" or 34"?

Did I miss the price somewhere? Or are you only after trades now?

Looking forward to a large becoming available - might clash with the ginger hair and beard, but I'll not have to look at it so who cares!
