Merton Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) For sale only - Status Retroactive Jazz Built for me in 2007, this has been my rock for 8 years. I still absolutely love it but it has very much taken second string to my ACG Finn 5 since that appeared and now I have a Finn 4 as well this is likely to become even more sidelined. It's criminal for such a fine bass to be third choice and therefore despite being gutted about selling it, it is probably the right thing to do. Specs: Alder body, gloss black finish Graphite neck Hipshot tuners with D-tuner on E string 2x hum cancelling J pickups in standard Jazz position Electronics - 18V active circuit with the following controls vol/pan/treble/bass and active/passive switch Chrome hardware Schaller strap lock buttons Unbranded Hiscox Liteflight case I'll get better pictures up later on as the body does have a few dings which need to be shown. A few months ago Rob Green gave it the once over where he replaced the jack socket, volume and pick up pan pots so electronically it is as sound as a pound. £825 including Hiscox Liteflight case and spare set of Status Hotwires 45-105 gauge Collection only from Horley, Surrey (near Gatwick Airport) Edited January 16, 2016 by Merton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbasspecial Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Top fella. Buy with confidence. I bought one of his Barefaced cabs and he delivered to me as I live close to where Martin works. I also have 2 basses with graphite necks. Really bright and zingy. Lovely mid cut thru if that's your thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ooooooh, niiiiice. May I as what the nut width is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have no idea actually! It's a standard Status jazz bass neck which feels very similar to a Fender Jazz at the nut. I'll measure it when I get home tomorrow, and add more pictures as promised. Paul - cheers for the kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) OK so the nut appears to be 39mm or 40mm width. Some pictures of the various little dings and blemishes you'd expect form a working bass - some are hard to tell apart from the light reflections so please ask if unsure! OK that's just a cool shot This is the main ding around the jack socket The other side of the jack socket and the rest of the main ding A tiny ding on the back side of the body, bridge end Tiny scratch just above the bridge Blemish on top horn Some marks on the lower horn The tiny mark on the right of this pic is a knock on the headstock Dings on the back of the lower horn Edited January 6, 2016 by Merton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
