OutToPlayJazz Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks, Kev... Your Energy is the best value so far, though! More than anything I was wondering exactly how many Status basses we actually had on here between the membership... Quote
markytbass Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Mike Is that one of the original T-bass in British racing green? (I think thats what the colour was). Quote
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 If someone would care to start a Sei thread, I can contribute to that one too... I used to have a nice Flamboyant 5... [quote name='Dr.Dave' post='257486' date='Aug 7 2008, 06:52 PM']Status series 3000. Spalted beech top and refinish done by Jon Shuker.[/quote]Oh yes. I loved this bass first time I clapped eyes on it. Doc, could you PM me and give me an idea how much the refin and new top cost? I'm thinking of having a similar job done on a bass of mine. OK, here's my '90ish S1 deluxe 5 string, with homemade ramp. A bit beaten up and dinged, but a very lovely bass. The quilt top is a mile deep under the lights. Quote

Wil Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I no longer own any Statii, shame. Although my one bass has a Status graphite neck. Don't have any decent pics of it at the minute, will get some up at some point. Quote
JimH Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Here's mine - The S1 will get treated to Blue FretFX LED's soon - details as per sig :- And a video of James (my S2's previous owner) demoing the SIM's LED's and GB Controller! :- [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjiJIVh5iE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjiJIVh5iE[/url] Edited August 8, 2008 by JimH Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Nice set-up. Watched the YouTube clip - that bass is like a fruit machine doing the special feature gamble! Edited August 8, 2008 by stingrayfan Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Still got 4 Status basses! Just need a camera! Nick Quote
JimH Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 [quote name='stingrayfan' post='257947' date='Aug 8 2008, 11:39 AM']Nice set-up. Watched the YouTube clip - that bass is like a fruit machine doing the special feature gamble![/quote] Fortunately there's 11 settings, including off and "feature hold" (all on) - so you can save the nudge/gamble effect for the encore!

OutToPlayJazz Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 [quote name='al embic' post='258300' date='Aug 8 2008, 04:39 PM']my s2 classic.....[/quote] I remember this one from Statii.com - Really glad you kept hold of it in the end, as it's a real stunner. You don't see many Status basses in solid colours, especially in that colour! Quote

stingrayfan Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Anyone got any shots of their Status graphite necks on other basses please? Just about to pull the trigger on one for my Stingray and need to whet my appetite! Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 [quote]i think im on the verge of gettin one for my ray 5 from the classifieds, its gunna look bloody fantastic![/quote] It'll have a lot of extra bite and growl to the sound as well! Quote
Kev Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 well im going to pick up the OLP bass with the status neck tomorrow, so fingers crossed il have a musicman/status stingray by the end of the day! Quote
phsycoandy Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Heres one I owned earlier, bought new, not sure where it is now! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 A few more that I no longer own... Sunburst Groove (bought from fellow BCer Dub Junkie.) My KingBass Artist 5-string which I sold to Ian last year... Energy Artist 5 with graphite neck previously owned by almost everyone on BC! Quote
stingrayfan Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 This thread is making me GAS for a S2 or S2000. Quote
doctor_of_the_bass Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 There's one still for sale round 'ere somewhere! A nice, cool blue one...! Rich (Out To Play) - did you get my PM!? Nick Quote
