Gary Williams Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 Why is this still available bump?
BassBus Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 You really don't know what you're missing kind of bump!

Chris2112 Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 The last time I thought about going to Sussex was for a Saab 900 Turbo!
Gary Williams Posted September 22, 2010 Author Posted September 22, 2010 Much as it hurts, price reduced to sell - £1,000 plus shipping costs within mainland UK
Gary Williams Posted September 29, 2010 Author Posted September 29, 2010 Graphite loveliness type bump
Chris2112 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Still looking pretty there! I'd have thought this would have flew out the door given the resurgence of interest Level 42/Mark King but it just goes to show how slow the market is at the moment Gary!
chuck_stones Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Seriously, if only I had the money! If this is still available in 3 weeks.....
Lucid Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Swedish bump... they don't get any cooler than this. Bass pornography.
cocco Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Do the all graphite ones sound drastically different to the wood and graphite?

I would guess that with a wooden body it would be slightly warmer and not so bright and snappy. Gary :0) Edited October 20, 2010 by Gary Williams
cocco Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I was thinking along the same lines. I'm looking for sound files or a you tube vid of a graphite one but they're all wood. I've very recently fallen in love with status. I think they're an aquired taste. Like Guinness
BassBus Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) There are quite a few all graphite vids on youtube, here's some.

As Gary said the wooden S2 has a warmer sound with the S2000 having a brighter tone. Both are just as good as each other. Edited October 20, 2010 by BassBus
Gary Williams Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 Status 2000 is now sold pending the usual :0)
MB1 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 [quote name='Gary Williams' post='994813' date='Oct 20 2010, 01:58 PM']Status 2000 is now sold pending the usual :0)[/quote] MB1. Suprised it took so long!...As Frank Carson once said! "Its a Crrrrrrrrracker!
Chris2112 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I think had it been one of the "natural" graphite ones (black colour) it would have walked out the door itself! Especially in the olden days when Status values were a little less. Although, did these ones ever have issues with the necks? I recall, from somewhere at the back of my mind, that there might have been issues with the necks on these shifting back in the day if you used light strings?
cocco Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Pissed off that I couldn't quite afford this. Ahh well. There'll be more!
Chris2112 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I'd keep your eyes on the markets! At the gallery they've just sold a 1980's S2 fretless for £1199 and at Sounds Live Newcastle they had a bolt on S2 which looked brand new (and couldn't have been more than a year old) for £1000. Keep your eyes open and you'll grab a bargain
