What is my Status S2 worth?

[martfitz]

I'm looking at getting rid of my S2 Classic neck through, but don't really know what I should be asking for it?

What should I be looking for sensibly? It's in very nice condition, no dinks.

Quilted maple top in Aquamarine.

I have some small change and a dog ?

nice bass , do you really need to sell it ?

[Dr.Dave]

In the current climate , more than ever , it's worth what you can get for it. Probably less than you'd like. It's a gorgeous looking creature and unless you're being evicted or something I'd hang on to it and enjoy it.

Yes, it's the one I play the least, I much prefer my Stingray and Yamaha these days, in fact I love my Yamaha so much I want to replace the Status with a BB2004, sad I know but I just like the feel of them.

Nothing sad about that, I replaced my Status with a Squier VM Jazz!

As an early 2000s model I'd say about 1000 gbp, but don't worry. There are plenty of Status fans on here who'll be up for such a lovely bass.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the advice, looking at the list you've got there you're obviously a fan.

Cheers

That's a real beaut! I'd be keen to offer you some cash for it... ...if it had one more string and one less headstock.

Statii always seem to be in demand, from what I've observed, so you should be able to get a reasonable price for it, considering the current climate.

I concur, one more string, one less headstock [i]AND[/i] LEDs and I would happily throw big wads of cash at you. Nice looking bass anyway though.

£200 and I'll come and collect.

damn that's nice

Do yourself a favour, put it on French Ebay using the built in translation programme, or even just in English. Most players here speak English. Put a starting price of what you'd really like for it (say £1200) It's just Ebay.fr

Status basses go for about 40% more here than in the UK. I've seen Energy series basses go for €1,000 on French sites and with the current exchange rate, you could have a serious result. The delivery is no problem if you use a good courier service and they all use Paypal here so no probs getting your dosh.

If it doesn't sell, it's only cost you a couple of pounds.

Yeh, I'll go with Dr.Dave. The number of times I've heard "I used to have one of them, wish I still did". Your taste has changed to the Yamaha it may change back given time.
