Martyn S Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Hi I was recommended to this forum by a friend! With a heavy heart I'm selling my gorgeous Status Kingbass Artist It's serial number 0402022. I custom ordered in early 2002 and picked it straight up from the Status Graphite factory in Colchester as soon as it was ready in the April. Dawn at Status hand picked the wood for me- just look at the grain! here's the spec: Headless graphite through neck Phenolic fingerboard Custom 16.5mm string spacing Blue front and side LEDS Walnut back Rosewood front Polyester lacquer Hyperactive Soapbar pickups Gold hardware 18v active electronics Although nearly 10 years old the Kingbass is in stunning condition. It's been played at home for the majority of its time. I have taken it to a few jam nights and no more than a handful of gigs. Always replaced straight into the flightcase to avoid mishaps on stage during breaks! The only flaw is at the 5th fret on the front side of the neck there is a tiny piece of lacquer which has come away- please see photo. I've just fitted it with brand new Hotwire double ball end 35-95's. I'm looking for £1900 OVNO I'm based near Weston-super-Mare, so buyer is welcome to collect or I can ship if the buyer arranges courier. Please see photos and PM for any further information. Thanks for looking! Cheers Martyn
big rob Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Hi Martyn, I would love this bass but i just can't justify this at the moment, however someone is going to walk away with a great bass. Good luck with the sale. Rob

GILLY Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 I have played this bass and it has the lowest action of any bass I have played in the last 25 years. Martyn is also as straight as, so whoever does the deal on this one need have no worries.
doctor_of_the_bass Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Doh! Too late! Hope all good with you Martyn!!! Twas a fantastic bass! Nick
MB1 Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Kingbasses never last long here! MB1. I'll have to agree to disagree with that last statement...I think?
