vmaxblues Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I got this fantastic bass recently from Chris (dyerseve) and it is gorgeous and sounds wonderful but I am too much into my Thumb at the moment and Warwicks generally and I don't want this sitting in the rack forlornly looking at the Thumb being taken out to gigs! It is a lovely instrument with a top upgrade of the Aguilar OBP3 and the pictures really don't do it justice. It is this one (hope this OK Chris to use your thread) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/307291-status-series-1-5-string-modded-with-aguilar-obp-3-now-sold-mods-please-close-this-thread/page__p__3319438__hl__status__fromsearch__1#entry3319438"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry3319438[/url] A few extra pics: [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_5352_zpspflwjn3m.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_5347_zps5ars73kj.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_5348_zpspnigz5pd.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_5349_zpsg6hjhnzb.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_5350_zps6pyofr9i.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/vmaxblues/media/IMG_5351_zpsqeuvjdl6.jpg.html"][/url] I have added the missing schaller strap button (Chris only used the one) and waxed it within an inch of its life! A really tasty bass for a silly price! £600 plus postage Edited July 1, 2017 by vmaxblues
vmaxblues Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 When I say one I mean two, because they have three! (strap buttons) read it back made it look like Chris could balance the bass on one strap button, rambling now...

andytoad Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Feck I would have had this!!!! Just bought an 88 thumb 5 NT....
dyerseve Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 very tempted to buy this back but I will resist and let someone else have a turn! deal with Stuart with confidence!
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Tis indeed a silly price! Someone's going to get a bargain. I wish Status still used that bridge!

prowla Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 I've got two Status 5-strings; shame I don't need another!
