[bassfan]

Roughly 108 days give or take..... shiny new Status series II to be flaunted, shamelessly, here as and when it arrives...... 🙏🏻😃

You'll be able to do a 'Recent Status Update' then....

[bassfan]

Worst case scenario still 92 days....... best case....49..... 🙏🏻

[LeftyJ]

Do tell! What did you order? 

[bassfan]

A very nice Status series 2

[LeftyJ]

Nice! 

Very happy with the pair I bought last year. They're fantastic instruments! 

[bassfan]

Put some pics up Lefty, let’s have a look. I can’t wait to get mine... 

[LeftyJ]

There you go! The white one is an older S2 with Hyperactive pickups and the old Board 300 preamp without a gain trimpot, and it could really use one because it is LOUD. I love the white epoxy Roman numeral inlays!

The black sparkle one I got from fellow member Bonin-in-the-boneyard and was made to order in 2012 I believe. 

Both have bolt-on necks. 

[bassfan]

Both very nice..the white one is killer,  I love those Roman numerals too.... mine is going to be very shiny, I won’t spoil the surprise !

To add to the excitement, here’s a very early one - still in outstanding condition and sounds incredible after countless gigs and sessions. Anticipation of the arrival of a new Status is quite lovely - I’m casting back to around ‘85 here and remember it very well

[bassfan]

That’s also lovely..... I will say mine is headed, that’s all I’m saying for now...... 🤫

I hate waiting for things.... 🥺

[bassfan]

I guess my fingers being crossed for the last 6 weeks hasn’t helped. New bass is likely to arrive mid/end Feb😢

Ah mate I feel for you! At least it gives you something to look forward too. Valentine's Day?

Enjoy the anticipation... So what finish did you go for? Any special requests? Whammy bar?

It’s killing me. 😂 special coloured finish, not spoiling the surprise.....few lights too 😉

[bassfan]

About a month to go. Maybe less if the great god of bass manufacturing looks kindly upon me....

Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got. I have the urge for a Status myself at the moment, but given the apparent availability shortage in the used market I may well decide to order new myself.

I’ll be posting pics mate... rest assured. I waited a while looking for one on the used market, nothing like I wanted came up, all 5 and 6 string headless so I opted for the custom option 😃👍🏻 Downside 14-16 weeks. 😢

And just to keep the excitement going whilst we await news of the new birth, here is your’s daughter...

[LeftyJ]

I was just thinking about this thread the other day. Looking forward to your pics when it's here!
