It's been re sprayed at some point in its life, has a small nick at top of headstock and a mark on the rear pickup cover.
However, this is a fabulous sounding and playing bass. Very flat comfortable neck profile, 2 soapbar pups, active EQ with simple Volume, balance and tone controls.
Had a new battery housing unit and set up recently.

Fab bass, and I love the playability and tonal options, but alas my resolve to hang on to a 6 string has crumbled. I'm a 4 stringer, always was, always will be.

£290 collected Dorset, or Bristol/Bath, or £300 posted. No case, but will be packed well with strings slackened to reduce neck tension during transit.

What year was this bass made?

[dr.harry]

I had the 5-string version of this some years ago
(Only replaced it with another Status 5-string because it got stolen)
This was the fastest, easiest neck I have ever played
If anyone out there is considering a move to 6-string, this has to be the bass
There'll be a lovely bit of wood under the black paint
And just £300?!
Absolute bargain

I'm not sure, I'll ask Rob at status to identify the serial number and post up here.

Thanks, it is a good price, but I was fortunate enough to pay not much more for it, just passing on the good fortune.
It is a great bass as a main bass, for the price of a backup bass.

Any interest in a trade at all ?

TRB1005F, fretless in natural colour ?

Tis a beauty.

Just like this one.

Any idea on the weight ?

Just weighed it 4.2Kg, or a tad over 9 lbs

That's a lovely TRB John and I was tempted by same model recently, but I'm really a 4 stringer and want cash tbh

I think that's my old bass that I've wanted back desperately for years. If its not its bloomin similar. Amazing price too.
Sadly it may as well be £3000 to me as I'm utterly broke
Typical
Then again there's a couple of gigs coming up, maybe I'll get lucky !

I'll wait for your 2 gigs for £3000! :-)

I'll post this for £300 if anyone's desperate.
