dodgnofski Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Hi Guys, Errrrrrrrrr - does anyone wish to swap their fretted Status for my Lined Fretless jobbie ?? - but must be headless like this one. You'd have thought that my 'mates' - having heard me caterwauling on my Squier Fretless - also for sale - strangely enough - would have said - 'buy one with frets if you are going to spend that much money - please'?? I should have realised at my age that a cloth eared old bint like me was never going to master a fretless bass - even 'with' chalk marks !! - I kept thinking 'maybe it will all click tomorrow' - but it never did! I watch in amazement at my friend playing his 6 string fretless - with 'no' chalk marks 'or' side markers!! - how the heck do you fretless Guys do it?? - 'we are not worthy'!! I believe it's a Series 2000 all Graphite beauty in exceptional condition for any age, let alone a 25 year old Classic & very lightweight for a Status - under 9lbs! Fitted with Status Hot Wire black nylon coated strings, so combined with the Graphite neck & Phenolic fingerboard - it's fast & sleek - (obviously 'too' fast & sleek for an old plodder like me) ! Complete with Status 5 Star Full Flightcase. Or would be asking for £875 ovno for a straight sale & will obviously consider a p/x - so W.H.Y?? Pick up prefered, but it's OK if you are a scrillion miles away & wish to arrange your own courier - as my logistics are on a par with my playing ability ! Thanks Guys - sorry to be a pain - 'yet again' !! Edited August 18, 2011 by dodgnofski

dodgnofski Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 and replied to + new pic added as requested - showing the inside of the control cavity to show that this is an 'all graphite' model & not a wooden bodied - graphite laminated jobbie - apparently??
