Status Barracuda 5 String - £679 Now £SOLD  shipped Mainland UK - No Trades
 
Up for sale is my pretty rare Status Barracuda 5 String.  A Status Super Jazz type instrument.
 
Barracudas are a Status all wooden necked basses with graphite rods through the neck.
Matched Amazaque wood is the material for the body and the neck.
Very similar instrument to the Trace Elliot T-Bass of the same period.  I believe that just a relatively small number of Barracuda's were manufactured in the late 1990's after the Trace Elliot partnership with Status had ended in the Mid 90's
 
Very good condition given the age (c. 1998?) - a few scars and scuffs as shown in the pics, also some wear on the bridge pickup cover.
 
Active Bass & Treble EQ
EQ Bypass Switch For Passive
2 hyperactive Status J Type Pickups, plus the one dummy hum canceller (it is just a coil no poles).
2 Octave Rosewood fretboard
Zero Fret
Weight - 5.1KG

.....Now I keep humming that Heart tune???

Looks a beast ....9 v active is it???

'Ave a BUMP

Yep - sort of.......Takes 1 x 9V Battery, the link above to the advert say 27v so I assume there is some voltage tripling magic in the electrics.

The Barracuda Custom came in a glossy black finish with LEDs and used 3x9v batteries; I assume 9v for the active circuit, 18v for the LEDs.   

This is a (lovely) natural finish Barracuda with a 9v active EQ, no LEDs.

GLWTS.
