Beautiful! Is the headstock black too?

[quote name='WishIcouldplay' timestamp='1380543610' post='2226736'] Anything you would recommend? [/quote] Date of manufacture is always useful. Weight. Other body woods. Any changes or modifications from the standard SII. Details of the active circuitry and pickups... Status owners tend to know this stuff, but if you want to tempt someone into maybe owning their first Status you might want to give a bit more away!

Where are you based? You might want to include some more information if you are serious about selling this (beautiful) bass!

You have PM!

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1380402976' post='2224942'] Just wondering what kind of music you're finding it not suited to? I have a little spector GAS at the moment and am worried I may find the same thing. [/quote] Actually, it's not so much the music as me personally. It is an incredibly versatile instrument (even though my current band mates say they prefer the tone of a Jazz bass as it "fits better" with their music). It's more the ergonomics. The body is small, which looks a bit silly on a big guy. It is the first bass I have played with a curved/shaped body. I can see how this could be a real advantage, but it takes some getting used to! The neck seems very long. On other basses, I am used to the twelfth fret position being roughly underneath the end of the upper horn. On the Spector that position is about the fifteenth fret. I have found this a (minor) problem when I play without looking... Yeah, I know what the obvious solution to this is! The neck is lovely. Very fast and easy to get a stupidly low action. But it is also a bit narrow and deep for my taste. Yes, if it was my only (or even main) bass I would quickly get used to it. But at the moment I tend to play my (borrowed) Mex Jazz as my go-to bass, with the Status a close second when I get bored. As I am only in one band and work full-time, this means that the third bass (Spector) gets far less playing than it would take for me to fully familiarise myself with it. It's an awkward one. I am aware that if I sell it, I am unlikely to be able to afford another one. A lot of music I listen to features a Spector, and they really do have "that tone" when I play it too! It is a beautiful instrument. I sometimes just stop to look at it! Lovely. But if I keep it, it's unlikely that I will ever play it as often as it deserves - and that makes me feel sad. All that, added to the very sluggish market at the moment, means that I would rather hold onto it than sell at a silly price (although I am still open to offers!! ).
