vmaxblues Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Hi all, I got this recently from this very forum, it had been in a bit of a battle and the controls had been punched through the face and the electrics were playing up. I took it to my local luthier who crafted a nice brushed brass plate to cover the damage and house the controls, the brushed finish matches the hardware. He also fixed the electrics and set it up. It nows plays and sounds amazing. The problem is I have acquired too many basses recently and need to thin out, so I am putting this back up at what it owes me which is £395.00 (plus postage or welcome to collect from Hereford) which is a bargain price for a pukka Status! It has its fair share of marks and dings but is a very playable bass with a great sound. Here are some awful pics! Cheers Edited May 18, 2011 by vmaxblues
Ghosts Over Japan Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 what in incredible price! good luck with the sale!
RaNoFuNkY Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 WOW! Does this come with a hard case at all - or is that incredibly cheeky considering the outstanding price!?
vmaxblues Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 Sorry guys, no case, but will be well packed, or as always you are welcome to collect! I am passing this price on to fellow basschatters rather than ebaying it first, I think its a great price for a Status and it sounds really punchy and everything works exactly as it should. Cheers for the kind comments, oh and forgive the one chrome knob, didn't have another brass one!
Guest Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Have you got any soundclips, or is that too much to ask?
vmaxblues Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Spaced, Sorry mate, no soundclips, wouldn't know where to start I am afraid. All I can say is it is a very powerful sounding bass with great tone, and of the 4 or 5 Statii I have owned over the years, is the best sounding. You are welcome to come and try if you are passing. Sorry cant be of more help Cheers Stuart
vmaxblues Posted May 15, 2011 Author Posted May 15, 2011 Starting to get second thoughts about this, just been playing it, it's a gem!
