waynepunkdude Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm looking at one I quite fancy, what are they like at what kind of price should they go for S/H? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 If the neck is anything like the wood necked Status S1 I owned, it'll be a flat radius, quite thin, fast and comfy for a 5 string. Tonally I've heard the Shark basses are somewhat P like but I've not tried one myself. Normally they go for around the £250 mark I think. I've always liked the look of natural finish Shark basses with tort guards, despite it being a colour combo I'd normally dislike. I think it stems from me lusting over old Trace Elliott/Status catalogues when I was a young lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I used to own a Status Shark 5... Red, White scratch plate, single chrome humbucker... Loved it. Super slim neck much like my Roscoe. Sold it back in the day when I thought my Warwick would be all the bass I ever needed. It wasn't £300 is a great price depending on condition. Saw a few go last year on eBay from £220ish for fogged and beaten to £400 for mint and shiny. Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
