pluckedout Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) For sale - my pride and joy - Status S1 Custom. This was a custom order for me - details as follows: figured walnut top single pickup 18V active circuit active/passive switch (all of the above were non-standard options) unlined phenolic fretboard graphite bolt on neck Really is in mint condition. I have gigged it 2 or 3 times but it has always been extremely well cared for and has lived in its case when at home. No marks on it at all. Always been strung with flatwounds. Comes with original Status branded Hiscox liteflite case and original paperwork. Breaks my heart to sell it but am almost exclusively playing 5 string now and intend to order a new 5 string fretless Status. Really looking for cash only as I desperately want to get a Status 5; if you have a fretless 5 string Status to trade then I'll obviously be interested - might be tempted by other nice 5s. [s]£950[/s] [s]£900[/s] now £800 ono + postage. Will only post via UPS as they're the only people I trust - will be approx £30-40 to the UK and probably £50-60 for Europe. PM me with your postcode and I'll get a proper quote. Pickup from Salisbury is free and I can deliver anywhere along the M3 or a reasonable distance from Salisbury for diesel costs; am occasionally in Nottingham and Swindon too.

BigBeatNut Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 That's very classy. Then I would say that as I have an S1, unlined fretless, 5er . Is that fingerboard really phenolic ? I thought phenolic was always black. (Just idle curiosity I'm afraid ... like you, I think, I pretty much stuck on 5ers). Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks - and you're absolutely right sorry, completely forgot that this is a wood/phenolic mix - it was a new thing at the time and it looks and feels lovely. If you ever want to sell that S1 unlined fretless 5.... Joe [quote name='BigBeatNut' post='1207810' date='Apr 22 2011, 02:04 AM']That's very classy.

I have a Status Eclipse Ltd 5 (fretted) that will probably move on at some stage, but the S1 fretless is one of my favourites, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluckedout Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Still here although I may have a trade pending. Will listen to sensible offers and any trades for 5 string fretlesses, ideally status! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Is now on eBay with best offer option but would still rather sell it here. Will listen to trades for interesting 5 string basses, fretted or fretless or potentially for 4 string fretted if old and interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluckedout Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Bump for price drop - also found out that not only do Status not make S1s any more, they don't think that making a new one for a custom order would be economically viable (due to having to set the machines up differently) so if you prefer this shape to the S2 (like I do) then this may be your best chance to get one!
