ash Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I bought this from here earlier in the year - it's a rather lovely Status Energy bass with the carbon neck - an early version without trussrod. It has two Status Jazz pickups and an active circuit - pickup blend, volume and master tone. It can do anything from modern bright tones to a classic Jazz type sound. Edited October 20, 2016 by ash
nashmonster Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 That's a beautiful refin Ash.. what a gorgeous looking bass ! GLWTS Mart
ash Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 Yes it's lovely Paul Neild did it of Retro169 he's done several refins for me now including a '74 P bass road worn look restoration, Mart's Shergold Marathon 6 and this. Always does a great job with a quick turnaround.
blunderthumbs Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Is this the Status bass that Fretmeister sold earlier this year ?
blunderthumbs Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) [quote name='ash' timestamp='1476584152' post='3155421'] That's the chap! [/quote] Was looking back through the pics of that bass, it was a bit of a dogs dinner. It's back the way it should be and looks more like the dogs bollocks now. Are you up for any trades Ash ?

fretmeister Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Oi! It was and still is a stunning instrument. The middle pickup that was in it was installed professionally, and the split outputs into 2 rigs was amazing.
ash Posted October 16, 2016 Author Posted October 16, 2016 I'm based in Lancaster. As per forum rules pm me with trades but cash is the priority on this. It's a great buy. My only interests for basses are the bass we can't mention on here of the R prefix plus cash from my side. John Birch basses, Shergolds, Jaydee, JV Squier and that's it. The only other thing would be a Moogerfooger low pass with cash my way. Nothing else. Cheers!

No Status bass should be messed with. Only my opinion.

interpol52 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I had one of these in the mid nineties, I was a big Therapy? fan and their bassist had one. I played it through a Trace rig and it had a sound like no other. I would love another one. Shame I'm skint as always!
