ash Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) I bought this bass this week on a whim - I’ve been looking for the headless version of my Status S3000 for some time and this came up in this rather fetching gold sparkle custom finish. The ad is probably still on here so I will find a link to it. It’s a lovely bass, plays really well and I’ve set the action low similar to my headed bass. It sounds fantastic with an 18v Status preamp - nice and simple, pickup blend, volume and tone. The neck is gorgeous and the previous owner added larger luminous position dots at the front and side. I assume these can be removed if required. The bass was custom finished for a French company who were selling a bunch of these according to the seller. It’s definitely a pro job. The neck is the earlier non truss rod variety and is straight and true. The serial number is 70 so it’s probably early 90’s. The reason I’m selling is down to the ergonomics really. This bass is 4.5kgs and very comfortable to play however it’s just a bit too heavy for me for the long and energetic gigs I play (when we are allowed to again). Secondly on my Status the upper bout of the body has a softer chamfer for my forearm to rest, this one is a little more angular and really bothers me when playing finger style. So a very nice S series Status in excellent functional and cosmetic condition. I don’t want trades thanks and I won’t send overseas. I’d prefer pickup but will post using UPS at a cost of £30 with basic cover. I’m asking what I paid for it. It comes in a decent gig bag with two spare unopened sets of Status Hotwire double ball ended strings. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/434466-status-s3000-4-string-with-hotwires-now-sold/ Edited June 7, 2020 by ash SOLD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 That's not an S3000 you have. The S3000 was only ever built as a headless instrument and never had that body shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
