Status Energy

[jmanfunk]

This bass has been on quite a rollercoaster with me. I've sold it, bought it back, put it up for sale only to keep it etc. but my rig needs a further injection of cash as does my Sei bass which needs new electronics so this is [u]most certainly[/u] for sale.

For a bass which is 10+ years old, it's in [i]very[/i] good condition. There are a few very minor marks on the body mainly on the main contact areas on the back and a slight depression over the neck pup where the previous owner rested his thumb. It plays flawlessly with very little fret wear and the set up is low; very low without any audible buzzes. Exactly what you'd expect from a Status. Electronics are all in working order too.

Comes with fresh Elixir Nanoweb strings and a Status padded gig bag.

Its an early nineties model with-

[list]
[*]Walnut nody
[*]Graphite neck
[*]2x Status hyperactive J style pups.
[/list]
















More pics on request.


Cheers guys,

Really nice piece of wood and graphite there, what is the difference between this model and the Matrix is one thru neck?

Nnnnnnnice, usually these Status Energy basses come with a lot of player wear but that one looks like a little cracker. Good luck with the sale mate.

This should answer your question- well, Nick a.k.a. Doctor Bass clarified this over on Statii.com

[i]"The Matrix range first appeared around about `90 and consisted of the following models:

1. Matrix Energy - bolt-on graphite neck with walnut, mahogany or cherry body - active treble boost eq. Normally had two J pickups.
2. Matrix Series I - thru-neck (graphite), normally a P + J config although Rob also did a J + J system, stacked bass and treble EQ.
3. Matrix Series II - basically a Series II with the headstock!
4. Matrix Empathy - top end model with `Powerband' midrange EQ (stacked frequency+cut/boost), plus stacked bass + treble - 11 piece body with matched front and rear facings!"
[/i]

So this is a Matrix Energy technically.
