Pbassman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) [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.

Ou7shined Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Doesn't seem to have the raised centre line. Custom made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Inspired by one of Entwistle's Fenderbirds maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBassBob Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Early Eppi Thunderbird body? or Tokai ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbassman Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted although the asking price is a bit rich. Personsally I think I offered 400 pounds fir it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJim Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I remember this in BassGear. It's a Warmoth body, Dimazio pickups, Badass 2 bridge and Status graphite neck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
