pluckedout Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 My 17 year love affair with Status basses comes to an end with the sale of this, my very first Status, serial 2842. Bought by me, brand new in 1994, this was a special order and was the last one that Status made in walnut (it was ash or alder after this) and also has the high resolution pickups which were discontinued this year (1994 was the year they introduced the Hyperactive ones). Lovely maple neck with graphite inserts (running either side of the truss rod) and rosewood fretboard. The necks have the same profile as the fully graphite ones, which means they are nice and slim and flatten out towards the treble end. It's been well used, there are some scratches and dents as you can see from the photos, the worst being a dent on the lower horn which has been filled with a little bit of wood filler. There is some thumb wear near the front pickup and some slap wear on the front pickup and the very end of the neck (just like Mark King's Jaydee). Nothing that affects the sound or playability. Frets have some wear but plenty of life left in them, certainly nothing to be concerned about. Electronics are 9v Status preshape with volume, pan and active treble boost/cut. All fully working. Comes with original Status gigbag (black with red piping and Status logo). Looking for £350 - will consider trades for nice Yamaha BB (or original TRB with cash your way) or Japanese Fenders. Ideally 5 string but will consider 4s. Feel free to PM with any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
