Anyone recognise the body?

[attachment=144585:Status Graphite.JPG]Can anyone help me?

This bass has a lovely Status graphite neck, but I (and Status) do not recognise the body to which it is attached.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Doesn't seem to have the raised centre line. Custom made?

Inspired by one of Entwistle's Fenderbirds maybe?

[BigBassBob]

I reckon it's probably a Warmoth body. If you take the neck off there'll probably be a Warmoth logo stamped or burnt into the neck pocket.

[Thunderbird]

Early Eppi Thunderbird body? or Tokai ?

[Pbassman]

Thanks for comments so far.

It plays rather well.

It does seem likely, doesn't it?

[Pbassman]

The owner has investigated the bass and can reveal that it is a Warmoth body (10pts to BigBassBob) and has Schaller p/ups.

Very pretty, play well, what's it worth???

That's easy. It's worth whatever you think it is worth. But if you are looking to sell it, please advertise it for sale in the Basschat Marketplace [size=4] [/size]

I'm sure ive seen this on eBay. Was tempted although the asking price is a bit rich.

Personsally I think I offered 400 pounds fir it.

[BigJim]

I remember this in BassGear. It's a Warmoth body, Dimazio pickups, Badass 2 bridge and Status graphite neck!

[Muzz]

Yeah, I've seen it around before. Had a good look at the Warmoth T-Bird body a while ago (which they don't make any more), when I was starting out with the Fenderbirds, and the neck pocket sticks out from the body, which makes the nut a loooong way away. I'd be interested to know how it balances.

Your a musician. It will happen eventually.

You're a bassist. Prepare yourself for the fact that it may not.
