AndyTravis Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Just had a mad unexpected bill. Furious with it to be fair. Have been enjoying this and the Sadowsky, the sadowsky has edged it throughout (for me) but everyone who’s heard it prefers the Status. Its a factory Relic 2tsb. Decent job actually...and I’m a pain for calling out crap relics. Made for Starsailor’s bass player James Stelfox, and it’s been through a fair few hands. My assumption is that like me, many have found it impossible to resist and bought it - but it’s been the last in, first out bass for a fair few people. Now with added East preamp - much like the Sadowsky pre, but less coloured in sound. The only reason it’s this instead of the sadowsky is the 20 (rather than 21) frets. Hiscox Status case, Bass is around 9lbs. Newish Ernie Ball stainless strings - brand new batteries. Manchester (M27) collection. shipping isn’t impossible but have to insist on insured.

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Another time and I would have that off you in a shot Andy, but I’d have to sell to buy and I’m happy with my lot at the moment. I’m sure it won’t be around long at that price. Buy with confidence people. Great bass & great seller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Heard some recordings with this bass on, what a beautiful sound. If I hadn’t just splurged on some Gibson basses I would have this in a heartbeat. Won’t hang around long I’m sure. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Will entertain a status groove bass (has to be 4 string) and £600 or so my way. Also - Ibanez ATK’s are of interest - but will need cash my way. Have also messaged a few members who’d expressed an interest. Thanks Bump.

pbasspecial Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I remember when you bought this a few years back. I believe it sold in next to no time. Both Karl and I missed out on it. I was at a rehearsal and he was watching the football (Burnley?) if memory serves me right. Glwts mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely jumped at it mate - was a bit of a gamble as I absolutely adore the Sadowsky. Think one of the others who missed out on it will be the new owner - just looking at postage options. This is the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbasspecial Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I would have had it if I didn’t still love my Fender Status hybrid P Bass bought from said Karl 8 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
