2x18 Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Does anybody know what model this is?????? Will.
mathewsanchez Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 It's an S1 like mine for sale [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30739"]here[/url]. Except mine has a wooden thru neck and figured top. I'm guessing yours is slightly newer. I think we need to call in the local status experts for more details... calling OutToPlayJazz and MB1.
Wil Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Looks more like an Eclipse to me (no centre block, unlike an S1).

Status basses often look very similar but there's so many slightly varying models.
slapmonsta Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 [quote name='walplayer' post='403610' date='Feb 8 2009, 06:28 PM']Cheers for the info guys, Just looked on the Status site,looks same as a series 2 classic bolt on they have on there (in ash)but with wood neck instead of graphite. But If it's a series one maybe £470 is a more reasonable price[/quote] It's from a time when Rob was selling them en masse to shops like ABC and making more"accessible" models with wooden necks.If I'm not mistaken,the necks have graphite rods in them(rather like Lakland do now).I have one of the earlier thru-neck graphite versions and it's still my main bass. Nice basses,but he went back to exclusively using graphite for the necks again not long after. Good luck with the sale.
