Due to impending GAS... My lovely Kingbass Artist for sale.

Straight sale price would be 1600£ incl. shipping with UPS. REDUCED TO 1500£

ONLY FOR STRAIGHT SALE BEFORE END OF YEAR: 1200£

Maple top, alder body, bendwell, 32" scale, 19 mm spacing at bridge. Beautiful emerald green/blueish (depending on the light) gloss finish. Original Hiscox case, mint.

Possibly the nicest bass I've had, just love the looks. Neck profile a bit flat for my taste, hence the sale.

Excellent condition, some tarnish on the nut gold hardware, a few minor marks on the body (lower part, rear) (pictured).

Trades only considered for MM (Sabre, Classic, Reflex etc), ACG in general, Zon Sonus, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Cheers

Yep - it is entirely a matter of personal preference really - the Kingbass' is obviously a very fast neck but I just prefer it a bit rounder these days. I'll happily keep it though if no one's interested, it is probably my favourite body design and colour!

How accurate is the colour in the photos??I had a British Racing green Kingbass (now owned by Snook - it's his avatar) but every photo I've seen make it look blue/aquamarine..

When it was actually closer to this:

Good point - it is actually greener than it looks in the pics above, but it also changes under lights - the closest to the real colour would be this with no direct lightning:

But if you try a close up it turns out like this:

It looked blue on the Status site when I bought it - I was surprised when I saw it in person, actually liked it better 'cause I love green basses!

Now that there's 6 or 7 Statii for sale it looks rather mission impossible, but just in case...

Bump and cash sale price drop to 1500£, all included. Trade value remains at 1800£ - may consider Lull, Pedulla, Ken Smith and a few others I've never tried, with appropriate cash adjustments either way, but I am rather picky in general!

Up it goes... I will include an unopened set of double ball strings. Btw, the Kingbass allows for the fastest, most painless string changes ever, less than 3 min...

Up... Trade offers welcome

To avoid confusion: I have been the first owner, bought directly from Status a few years back

And up we go. Trades possible with MusicMan classic, Reflex, Anniv, Bongo and other yummy basses.

Straight sale this week for 1400£ shipping included - need to recover from new arrivals. Have put on the new strings and it is awesome!
