To me, it's exactly the opposite.

No. I could make some, but these days I'm very busy, so maybe next week.

Thinning down the herd, so selling the basses I don't use. FOR SALE ONLY. Quite rare STATUS Electro 4 lined fretless with bridge pickup added by SP Custom. The specifications : 34 inches scale. 24 positions, original lined fretless (no front dots). 1.5 mm action under the G string up to 2 mm under the E string. 18 mm strings spacing at the Status Electro bridge. 11 mm at the graphite nut. 1 double action truss rod. 4 Gotoh tuners. Woven graphite neck with black phenolic fingerboard. 1 Status Hyperactive humbucker in neck position + 1 SP Custom Smokey HBass Classic humbucker close to the bridge (very similar sound wise to the Status Hyperactive) + 1 piezo pickup under the saddle in the bridge with magnetic pickups volume, piezo volume, treble cut/boost and bass cut/boost (like on all Electro series) plus a 3 positions toggle switch for the magnetic pickups (neck, both, bridge) instead of the EQ bypass. 18 Volts preamp with new batteries. The body of the Electro 4 has a two-piece mahogany back with a red coloured veneer and book-matched rosewood top. Acoustic chambers are machined into the mahogany before the top is glued on : this allows the body to resonate and create a warmer, more "open" response. The graphite neck produces great sustain and clarity and results in an incredibly versatile instrument with great character. Weight : 4.4 kilos. Delivered in original Status/Hiscox hard case with all the accessories and original invoice. Equipped with new Status round wound strings (45 ~105). Satin finish for the body and thick glossy finish for the neck. Made in April 2010. Set up by Christophe LEDUC. Official price today will be more than £2000 GBP if you can get one made. Asking price is £1200 GBP due to the rarity and good very condition of this bass. The bridge pickup has been installed by SP Custom, which is a well known French maker and the work is perfect (the idea was to add a lot of versatility and to employ the useless EQ bypass as a 3 positions toggle switch for the, now, 2 magnetic pickups).

Sold !

Owned yours too Russ. This one used to belong to Viz Maurogiovanni who is a great player, indeed.

@amadeusex PM me...

Indeed, Hugues is a great seller. Great looking bass too.

I've been to Christophe LEDUC today with this bass : he made a new truss rods (there are 2) cover as the original was broken, change 4 Allen screws at the bridge and ... announced me that the fretboard was not Para at all, but Brazilian rosewood, just like the cover and the headstock veneer. So, knowing all this, it's back at the real value price, which is £1750 GBP or 2000 Euros. Some of you missed a very good deal.

An F Bass BN5 and some money.

All my old bass and guitar magazines (200 to 300) have gone to the bin as nobody wanted them, even for free... Hope you'll be more lucky.

Huge price drop to sell fast at £1250 GBP, yes £1250 GBP !!!

And maybe the best fretless ever too. No kidding. I'm thinking of adding a preamp to transform it into the ultimate fretless. Remember that I'm owning two Masterpieces (a MP 628 SF and this MP 631 SF) hence the sale...

@JESUS RICO : we can certainly arrange something...

And traded !

Back to sale or trade. As usual, it was a ghost buyer.

And where are you based ? A bit of a shame if you bought it like that.
