Gary Williams Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) ** SOLD ** This is going to break my heart but something I want just a little more has come up. This is my beautiful Status Empathy 5 String, made in 1999. In superb condition except a small line in the lacquer from the neck pickup screw upwards as seen in the pics. It's not a deep crack and I have polished most of it out. Wafer thin action after a recent set up with Rob @ Status and sounds utterly incredible. 2 new battery boxes fitted. **** EDIT: Apologies people, spacing at bridge is dead on 15mm between strings **** Ideally pickup in Sussex. I'll let the pictures do the talking. NO TRADES please Edited January 9, 2020 by Gary Williams REDUCED PRICE 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Williams Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Hi Andy - I have just measured the spacing at the bridge and it is approx 18mm 15mm across all strings.

bassmayhem Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Is this the same model as the ones made in the 80's? Does it have adjustable truss rod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Williams Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hi there - I'm no Status expert but this is a 1999 model and has no trussrod as it has a graphite neck. The relief is set at the factory. Hope that helps! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAzMilitello Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hi, is it the version without truss-rod!? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Williams Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Hi there - no truss-rod in this model. Just had a complete set up by Rob @ Status and the action is very very low with very little fret buzz.

As the bass is original I’d say they are Status Hyperactive pickups. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
