Many Bands played there not just Factory Bands You must have been in on the famous Nude Night!

Apparently the headstock is the shape of the original Hacienda dancefloor! and the number on the front was the Haciendas number on Whitworth street.

MB1. Apart from buying Bricks as keepsakes of Madchester Hacienda history, seems other parts of the building are now also surfacing for sale. It would seem that Pete Hook has found an interesting use for the Haciendas Dancefloor, hes had sections of it made into Limited Edition Semi Acoustic Basses.Not a bad idea,id rather have one of these in my front room than a brick! (possibly the only bass ive previously danced on too!).Alas not the cheapest of souvenirs for 4500 quid. Now on show at P.M.T Regent Road Salford Manchester.

MB1. And again!,Great Superfast ,No Hassle Service and Impeccable Quality from Bryn and all the ROQSOLID team! A quick phone call and a couple of days wait and the covers in the post! Buy With Confidence! Great Stuff! All The Best! Martin.

[quote name='Conan' post='1060455' date='Dec 16 2010, 12:04 PM']Hi all (and particularly the Status fans out there!) I bought my Status series II back in 1986. It came with an original fitted case, that has a moulded foam insert shaped to the exact shape of the bass. Very safe, very snug. So far so good. Unfortunately, 24 years later, that foam is starting to deteriorate quite badly into a dark grey gritty powder. It is getting into various holes and gaps in the bass and generally irritating me! Is this a known problem in Status cases of this age or have I just been unlucky? Is it easy to replace? Need it be done by Rob Green or is there another manufacturer that can custom mould/cut foam to fit? Just wondering. Thanks in advance.[/quote] MB1. Not just Your Problem! the foam does deteriorate in cases after many years! not just Status Ones! .You might want to have a word with Lozbass on the forum ! he has had cases refoamed in the past and will probably be able to help!.
