Excellent thanks for that, I understand it all now, hmmm your purple sig is a dream bass looks brilliant how much did that set you back? Is the neck glossed front and back like US Fender Basses? Shame also there is no tone control on that Precision pickup, I like a deeper tone. Think I might go looking for one now if I can find a decent 2nd hand version about.

[quote name='Josh' post='279334' date='Sep 7 2008, 09:04 PM']I don't know too much about them, but I'm pretty sure all of the necks on any of the models are the same as a Precision bass, Billy says himself the chunky neck reminds him of his old P-Bass. Umm there are a few models: Standard (None of the Sheehan gizmos) Artist ( Double jack output and a covered neck pick up) Signature (All of the Sheehan whistles and bells, Scalloped frets, Dimarzio Pick up's etc etc etc.) And then I think it's the 20th or 25th anniversary model which came out in either purple or black, L-Falex has one I think. Like I said I'm not 100% sure on all of that, but price wise I've seen a second hand Signature one go for about £800+, which isn't too bad, there just not that common.[/quote] thanks josh, clears the neck issue up, prefer jazz width but watching him play it must be fast! What is the LTD 2 about is that an Artist version?

Can anyone answer my questions above or does nobody know?

Sorry for stirring up this old thread... Someone pointed me to one of these as I said I like the sound of pickups near the neck end, (as I don't get on with Stingrays and don't slap) he told me these sound very loud and great for finger players, is that true? Just curious about these basses and have a few questions: 1, How many models are there? 2, Do any have a Jazz profile neck 1.5" nut width? 3, What sort of price do they come in at 2nd hand? ta

Some nice basses there, still deciding on either Stealth 4 string headed or Hellborg 4 String headed, oh yeah and I have that last Groove bass with Graphite neck will get a pic up soon.

Shame coz they're a good "cheaper" intro to the world of Status![/quote] Thats the reason I wanted to opt for one, you can still get a brand new Status under £1000 Was told if you ask now there may still be enough bits to put together one, but very soon they will be withdrawn from the website.

[quote name='Doc B' post='262067' date='Aug 13 2008, 11:39 PM']can't offer a definitive answer but my old graphite necked Groove was very growly and had an alder body.[/quote] Ha Doc, I actually bought that bass from you, thats why I have this urge to have another Status... On another note phoned Dawn to find out they are not making anymore Smartbasses.

Still toying with the idea of these basses, which of the 4 woods on offer has the best sound for a warm growly sound? I am not into bell like glassy sounds. I tried calling Status Graphite and also emailed a few times in the past couple of weeks but no response as yet, they must be busy.
