Get your STATUS-GRAPHITE basses out!


OutToPlayJazz

Recommended Posts

I'm sort of thinking of moving this one on. It's really not my thing anymore unfortunately. Haven't thought about a price yet, so this makes it a kind of 'feeler' post I guess. If I was more sure about selling it I'd have a price in mind and this would be in the classifieds. (Hope I'm not breaking forum rules here).

I can bring it to the SE bass bash if anyone's interested.

Eclipse Ltd, 5 string. Usual status electronics, vol, blend, bass, treble, bright switch.

It's whats left of a '69 Jazz. I bought in 1982 and it hasn't left my side since. Except for a few other basses I have owned and used live, this bass has handled roughly 95% of everything I have done. I always say I'm going to retire it but then I get a new mod like the Status neck, she gets more stage time.

Through body strung Badass :blink: Done really badly too :lol:

Love it though, space age neck on a vintage bass, very cool.

Hope the Moderator doesn't mind me posting this here as well as elsewhere on the forum.

Saving up my pennies for one of the following Status 5-string headless fretted basses;

Stealth
Streamline
Kingbass Graphite

Obviously these three will each feel quite different "in the hand" as it were.

Would like to get some opinons about sound and feel from those Status owners on the forum. Currently trying to register with Statii.com but having IT issues with the site.

Plan on going over to Colchester at some point to try them out if Rob has them available. Would be a good day out methinks !

May try and look for a second hand Energy Matrix 5 headless if such things exist in the interim.

So, here are my three S2 Classics.

First photo is of the S2 6er and S2 5er, both headed, both thru neck. The 6er is almost Moo wood, and the 5 is Burr Madrone.

As far as i know the 6er is the only one of it's type in existence. It has an extra pup and extra bass boost, which it don't really need, and is mental. I'm thinking of getting it modded to have the new parametrics installed.
The 5 string has only just come back into my possesion. I owned it from new, and had to sell it when times were hard. This bass came back up for sale here 2 weeks ago, by Erik, who is the guy I sold it to. This bass is the best S2 I've ever owned by a mile, we have all sold a bass we have regretted selling, and this one was mine.
I'm very lucky to get it back, and this time, it's going nowhere. I did own the Miss Myrtle 5er at one point, but this one is better than that.

The second photo is my S2 6er headless bolt on. Again I bought it new, and again like a idiot I sold it, and after it went thru 3 owners I bought it back. It was up for sale again recently as I needed to raise funds to get the 5er back, but I've not had to sell it, so I can keep all three. Happy Boy !
