BassBus Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That's been up for quite a while. It certainly fits with the timing of this model's availability. I notice he has changed the title as he was originally selling it as an S2. I messaged him to say it wasn't, his reply said he checked the receipt which said it was an S2. Might have been missold to him as that. Price is more than twice as much as it should be. Still someone might fall for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit odd - I'm no Status expert, but the body shape looks more like an Eclipse, and the circuitry is Series 2000-ish, yet the tuners and pickups look much more contemporary. I know Rob does custom orders where all these could have somehow come together, but the hand-written serial seems mighty strange to me!

They had the Board 100 pre amp which was the very basic model with pickup pan, volume and treble cut.

To my ears, it was the best-sounding Status I've ever owned, but the 15mm string spacing was impossibly tight for my gorilla mitts. It was also very red, which didn't work visually with the band at the time. Pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 What's with the 2 sets of side dot markers? Is it an optical illusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad that I saw this as I've got this on my watch list and was seriously thinking of (maybe) making an offer thinking it was an S2. Interesting to see it's not... so, I almost fell for it and have thusly been saved from a potentially costly error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Looking through the brochures, flyers and bits & pieces here - http://statii.com/status_cats/ - though I can't find this bass anywhere... The S1 Classic only appears "headed", was a headless ever made? And there's nothing much on the S2 at that link anyway. In addition... there's a switch on this one that doesn;t appear on the S1 Classic. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Didn’t Status offer ‘Smart Basses’ for a while that were sort of custom jobs from off the shelf parts? Kinda looks like one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
