[/quote] That Statii are supposed to be quite "punchy" (for want of a better expression) and (like most basses) that'll be in parallel mode as standard. IME, running coils in series gives even [i]more[/i] output, albeit at the lack of some tonal sublety. Married to an all-carbon/graphite body, that could make for one aggressive sounding instrument Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 LOL, Alex - Sounds as if my Streamline is a little bass with big attitude, yours is about to not only spit it's dummy out & chuck it's toys out of it's pram, but orbital toys may be the order of the day! Rich. Quote

mazdaguy42 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Hi, I am a Canuck with a Status sickness..... I have a KB Retroglide at the moment, and waiting for a very special Status that hopefully will be ready for presentation at the end of March. So nice to see Rich here!! Quote

BassBus Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 That looks fantastic. I haven't seen too many all black S2s before. Good luck. Quote
whynot Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Nice one Steve. I had the first left handed 5 string S2 thru-neck from Status which was also all black as yours but with blue side leds. A friend of mine ordered the first left handed 4 string neck-thru S2s (fretted and fretless) so guess your new purchase came shortly after these. Quote
josh3184 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 ugh everywhere I go I get it pointed out to me I missed out on that bass! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Wow! That was supremely cheap, Steve! Welcome to the 'club'... Quote

I even had a replica built because I thought Rob would never make lefties. Will get pics up after a good spank. Quote
