Mr Bassman Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Any fretless Status owners out there? I'd like to know how they sound. Or can anyone recommend any recordings or youtube. I can only find this vid https://youtu.be/8UnhKyVahF4 Edited May 8, 2015 by Mr Bassman Quote
AndyTravis Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I often ponder a classic vibe squier body with a fretless status neck. Loved my kingbass and my 5 has a carbon fibre neck. Quote
Delberthot Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 If you listen to the Now album by Paul Rodgers, Jazz Lochrie uses a 6 string fretless but I can't remember what model. Around about that time I almost ordered a headless Status Stealth fretless 6 string Quote
Dood Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I owned a Status Energy 6 - an all-wood construction rather than graphite. Great warm sound with lots of clarity as I remember. The bottom end was something to behold too. Stupidly, I sold it! Quote
tom5string Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I used to play a headless S4000 fretless, the one with a bolt-on graphite neck .... for years ... and I liked it very much. Sustain, punch clarity, growl, the graphite is hard and allows real fast attack, perfect for Jaco-esque 16th patterns. When played more close to the neckt, the sound was getting more dark, fundamental. Just sold it because I was really missing a fifth string. Highly recommended instrument ... should not be too expensive, if you can find one. Mine left Ebay for 400,- Euros :-( Cheers, Tom Quote
