Happy Jack Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 This is a really excellent P-bass and it deserves to be played. It's also an extremely practical gigging bass ... the graphite neck means that you never need to adjust the trussrod and it barely goes out of tune. I only sold it because I'm playing pretty much exclusively 5-string these days. I hope it sells to another Basschatter. I may need to buy it back one day.
7enderhead Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 If you ever have the feeling that a boutique 6 string will suit your style more at any given minute, have a look at my signature and drop me a note

Romeo2 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Damn it, not this fantastic looking bass again! I thought it was all nice and gone so I can stop thinking about it... Somebody, please, buy it quick for the sake of my sanity... Not that you need it but - GLWTS.
LiamD Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 If you happen to fancy a '78 Gibson RD Artist let me know, been looking at these Status' for a while now but need to shift the Gibson first.

Wonky2 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) I'm a big status fan, I've had one of these vintage j's before some years ago, never should have sold it as they are fantastic instruments with such a responsive feel, a quick neck and such a great tonal range..... Hard to come by now aswell.... Wish I had the cash to whip this up, I'm Surprised its still here (unless you've sold it )... Great basses and a stunning looking little beauty too. I will come back if I can manage to have a streamline of gear and make a few sales over the next few weeks.... These don't come up often and I'd sure like to add it to my collection Gutted that I can't even commit and offer a deposit at this point , I just can't as I'm unsure how long I could raise the cash....so don't hang on for me... But if it doesn't sell I'll be checking back in on this soon. Cheers, and apologies for a half arsed interest in your status, these things always crop up when your skint !!!

martthebass Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi Rob, sorry to hear you didn't get on with this one. I've got a nice Limelight Jazz but it's a bit......erm, worn

Thanks for the offer with the Limelight...but not my thing mate sorry!
martthebass Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 No worries Rob, relics are an acquired taste! Sounds superb though and at least I won't worry about it picking up a couple o dings when I'm playing in Wath tonite. GLWTS mate.

It's not on the sales list is it mate? Maybe we could arrange a 3 way trade if it is...?
rob_89 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Id be interested in discussing that possibility....
rob_89 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Made some adjustments to this the other day, the action is ridiculously low with no buzz anywhere
karlfer Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 If I can get my Cabronita sold.........................
sunfish Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Hi. Nice looking Status Whats the weight of this bass? Also, is it a Jazz type neck or a Precision? Cheers
