Crosshash Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) I've regrettably come to the decision to sell my beloved fretless bass in order to gain more funds for University. This is a Status Energy 6 String Fretless bass with Active pickups and a Walnut body as far as I'm aware. It's currently equipped with Status Graphite Flatwound strings and personally, I do prefer the sound of roundwounds on it. It is in very good condition with a couple of very small dings on the edge (i actually had to attempt to find these, they didn't turn up in the pictures so I'll have to try again with a better camera later). Here's some pictures: If you want more pictures, just ask I understand if my post count is too low to be selling things. I was registered as Phalanx (if I remember correctly) when this website was bassworld and not basschat. The bass will come with a hard case and I'm looking for £350 + postage. It will be advertised on other boards. Thanks Edited September 5, 2008 by Crosshash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngh Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I might be wrong, but I think that the bass is an Eclipse, not an energy. I had a fretted version. Good price though, good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always under the impression it was an Energy (ignoring the fact that when I bought it, it was advertised as one) because it looks very similar to other Energy basses (the tone, volume and pickup controls are in the same shaped layout for example). Very interesting. Just looking around, my bass looks identical to the Status Energy in this picture (apart from having 6 strings and being fretless): Edited August 23, 2008 by Crosshash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Sorry John, it is an Energy. All the Eclipse models had graphite necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub_junkie Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 a local bass player I knew played a wooden necked Eclipse 4 string like the blueburst in the link below back in the mid-late 90s.

Dood Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Ah yes! Definitely a Status Energy! I had one exactly the same! I wondered for a moment if this *was* the Status 6 I used to own! Would be interesting to find out where it ended up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
