I always wondered but never had the courage to ask in case it turned out to be Mrs EBS_freak

Yep, the colour and grain pattern suggests walnut to me.

Turns out we're all wrong. It's rosewood.

That looks utterly stunning.... loving the contours of the two different woods....

Now you're just trying to make us jealous. That is a beaut.

[mojobass]

ok so thought I'd add mine to the ever growing list!!!!

first up, S2 bolt on - wasn't 100% sure on the colour but i wanted one anyway so bought it and actually its not that bad i kinda like it!

second up my 'project', status jazz graphite neck (hence qualifying to be in this post i think!) mated to a spalted maple/mahogany body - looks great and plays great too!!!

Love the face on the jazz. The nut looks quite wide for a jazz neck. Might just be the picture. Nice clean lines on the S2.

Manage to sell your kidney yet??

[BassBus]

Nice bass. Centre tone blocks are usually walnut with wings made from mahogany. There are sometimes other woods used. The front and back look like either rosewood or cocobolo. you could try posting this on Statii.com. There are members there who know a whole lot more about these than I do.

[BassBus]

Unfortunately that's par for the course in forums these days. There was a lot of trouble with spam ads purporting to be Status owners last year so that action has had to be taken. It'll be worth the wait. Well, I hope you think it is.

[BassBus]

These are custom basses so anything is possible.

[martthebass]

This is not good for my Status GAS. Basses come and go but my Streamline is a constant. Now what can I sell to buy a Stealth 2?

That one wouldn't be as cheap as the 30th Warren lol!

Loved the photos by the way.

Aha! You didn't say "No" though, did you?

There's no stopping me now I have this photo-bucket business sorted out! I can see why people have problems with it, but it's quite easy once you've done it a few times. I had the same problem with making ringtones for my iPhone, but I do it without thinking about now, even after the crafty gits at Apple interfered.

No I didn't say no....I've tried a few times to acquire a great quality Stealth 2 but so far not managed it. I just find the 'monooque' Status basses so easy to play and they never need adjusting once set up.

Still not sorted how to post pics on new BC - still its stopped me trading and selling too much!

[EBS_freak]

My Status necked jazz. Cool bass but being a four... It doesn't get much of a look in, I tend to stick to fives! It's a nice instrument though and with the matt finish on the back of the neck, it looks (the weave looks awesome in satin) and feels great. Bartolini pickups, Hipshot hardware... through strung. Pretty cool.

Does a mean Marcus impersonation - even when passive, like it currently is. Edited February 9, 2012 by EBS_freak

Been thinking about this wee beastie... Would anybody be interesting in potentially taking this off my hands?

[Chris2112]

It reminds me of the Mark King Fender jazz basses. Only better, without the woefully bendy necks and shoddy fretwork!

Is this experience or hearsay? Im surprised youve actually seen or played one of the 42 MK Fenders.

Hearsay, though I recall seeing some Level 42 board posts from MK diehards who had ordered them from Fender (lucky as it was a very limited run) and found them to be pretty lacklustre in their build. Tellingly, Mark used them for about 5 minutes and then went onto those GB basses, which sounded crap in fairness. (the Ohne Filtre DVD showcases this dire tone).
