GrahamT Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Status Energy 5 string headed bass in great condition. Walnut body. Status hyperactive J pickups. Graphite reinforced 34.25" scale Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Pre shape EQ with active treble cut and boost. Serial number 2651. 11th February 1994. Comes with nearly new Status padded gig bag. I have refurbished and refinished the body, had new frets and abalone fret markers fitted by a local Luthier, resprayed the black bridge and restrung with Rotosound roundwounds. No buckle rash. You will see from the photos that there are some slight dents on the rear of the neck. I have been told by my Luthier that these could be filled in with Superglue and then lightly sanded back but I prefer to leave that decision to the next owner of this wonderful bass. I have played it as-is with no problems whatsoever, and I am a fussy git! More photos available on request. No trades. Sorry!

Jimrs2k2 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Can I just say that that is a beautiful instrument, my love of all things status is fairly well known but having played this bass it really is a stunner. The fret work is amazing and plays like butter with that classic status punch. If it was a four string I would be allover it, but some lucky bugger is going to be over the moon with this.

Jimrs2k2 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I'm stunned nobody has picked this up yet? Up she goes.
lowregisterhead Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Lovely. I had the same pickups and EQ on a Series 5000, and it sounded phenomenal. What a bargain! Why hasn't someone snapped this up???
JohnFitzgerald Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 On the basis that I might fund another Status (see avatar for details), might postage be an option ? (Need to see my Jazz first but that's no impediment.0
GrahamT Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Hi John If you could go to £485.00 I will post it. Please note that I will be away for a week from Sunday 24th. G
JohnFitzgerald Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Not in a huge rush Graham. Need to get my Jazz away first. (One in, one out policy). I'll get on it and get back to you asap. £485 is very fair though.
GrahamT Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks John, Noted. However if another Basschatter expresses interest in it and can complete straight away, I will have to seriously consider their offer.
merlin Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Hi Ive got a four sting if the 5er plays like my 4 some ones getting a fantastic bass,glwts
JohnFitzgerald Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Graham, of course. Usual rules apply, first to front up with the cash gets it. I'm working on it.
GrahamT Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Hi Stealth, I am away from home atm. I will measure the spacing and post on Sunday afternoon.
GrahamT Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Stealth, The string spacing is 17.5mm at the bridge. GT
GrahamT Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Bumperoo again. Open to reasonable offers. Edited April 26, 2016 by GrahamT
