uk_lefty Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Well, over £1200 with still 2 days to go. That's me well, well put of contention. What a bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be a bit to go yet. It is quite a rare beast but obviously the market for a lefty Status fretless is quite small.

There should be a small market for my Aria, sadly its all Australians and Americans that want it and the cost of shipping prevents me selling it!

Many of us on here have bought and sold to/from each other! That Status could yet be a bargain! If I didn't already have an S2 and didn't have a bass on order and could actually play a fretless......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says a lot about the market at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Wow, that's insane. I paid roughly the same for both my S2 Classics, but those are both very plain with a solid finish, no fancy woods, and bolt-on necks. This fretless one was pretty much top spec!

I've got sale proceeds of another bass burning away in my pocket. But since my 80s band folded before it could start do I need a Washburn Status, an Aria SB Elite and this...? And do I need the headache of all the vintage bass gremlins again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 How much more 80s than a headless S1000 could one ever need? It doesn't get more 80s than that! Well, maybe a Steinberger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe a Steinberger... I had a Hohner B2A but couldn't get on with the string spacing, sadly, so I've "done" cricket bat basses. The S1000 through my Trace amp sounds phenomenal, not just phenomenally 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S1000 through my Trace amp sounds phenomenal, not just phenomenally 80s. Can imagine. I briefly owned a B2A a year ago (but sadly had to sell because of funds, after one of the cam shafts in my Volvo broke) and it was fun, but the ergonomics really are something else. The string spacing was not unlike some of my 5-strings so that kinda worked for me. What troubled me most were the strap button positions. With the strap attached behind the 21st fret, it hung in such a way that the first position was awkwardly far away. I was surprised by how good it sounded though, with the active electronics engaged. Switched to passive, I think it sounded muffled and dull and lacked life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched to passive, I think it sounded muffled and dull and lacked life. I think there are two versions, one with EMG pickups and one with pickups labelled EMC by Hohner or something. Mine had the EMGs and sounded stupendous passive but I've never got on with 2 band active EQs. They are odd though because the F feels sooooo far away because of the strap placement. That's never been a problem for me with the Washburn Status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 A few on eBay at the moment. A Westone Thunder 1A and a Sire V7 5 string. I'd have jumped on the Sire but the colour just isn't for me (Sherwood green 🤢) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Lovely Tokai Jazz Sound for sale in France at a fair price. The electronics were modified to active, and a battery box was added. Includes an additional fretless neck. Not bad at €480! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I can't seem to share it but on the Left Handed Guitar Sale/ Trade Facebook page there's an EIGHT STRING Rickenbacker. It's up for £4,500. I have absolutely no connection to the seller, items etc, I just noticed it now and thought it's bonkers and I'd share it with you all.
