BottomEndian Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I don't know what happened. I don't know how it happened. But it was something bad, and it happened to [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300485147191"]this bass[/url]. From the item description: [quote]Although the guitar doesn't currently work, the body is in perfect condition[/quote] ...quickly followed by... [quote]On 24-Oct-10 at 18:42:26 BST, seller added the following information: I didn't mention in the listing that where the plate has been removed from the front of the electrics a piece of the wooden body has come off. You can see this in the pictures though.[/quote] Still, it could be a project for someone with more patience than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Would Rob Green be able to add a new laminate on the top of the bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomEndian Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Can anyone identify the model? I'm not [i]au fait[/i] with Status models. I'm guessing it's a Series [i]x[/i]000, but I have no idea whether it's 1000, 2000, 3000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think you'll find it's one of the Status Completely f***ed series. They're pretty rare these days, so should be worth a bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3000 had a similar looking knob arrangement though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 My guess is that it took a very sharp, heavy blow to a jack plugged into it, which fractured a whacking great chunk of wood off the front as the jack socket got slammed and twisted. Looks like someone's later tried to cover it up by screwing a control plate on, but they've given that up as a bad job. This bass is haunting my thoughts.

This is definately a 3000 series headless...i've previously had 2!.A Mint One Sold on here last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says £51 on my screen. If I was selling that, I'd certainly put a higher reserve than £51 on it - it's worth at least twice that just for the parts.

[/quote] I'll disagree, I think it's a 1st run Energy, I owned 3 over the years, all headless with walnut bodies & thought they were 3000 models. The last one wnet to be refretted by Rob & he informed me it (& it's predecessors) were original Energy models. I have an old Status catalogue that lists the 3000 series as having a glass fibre body.

I bought one Brand New through A1 Music Manchester when they first came out, and it was wood/not glass fibre and it was sold under the title Status 3000.

Wil Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Certainly looks like a 3000 to me: [url="http://statii.com/status_cats/flyers/series_3000/index.html"]http://statii.com/status_cats/flyers/series_3000/index.html[/url] Early Energy basses do look remarkably similar though: [url="http://www.statii.com/status_cats/adverts/energy_nov_1991/energy_advert_nov_1991.jpg"]http://www.statii.com/status_cats/adverts/...rt_nov_1991.jpg[/url] I doubt there is much to split them apart from year of manufacture.
