slapmonsta Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Hi guys, I'm selling my virtually immaculate 90's Status S2,recently acquired but due to the usual reasons way too beautiful to sit in a case not being played....I need to sell this baby,hence the now "stupid" price. 3-band mid-sweep eq,Maple top,Mahogany/Walnut core and wings...graphite thru neck....one tiny buckle ding on the back that you can see in the pic...other than that,pretty much spotless.A top-quality example of a superb instrument. Skb-type case chucked in... [size=5]£750,crazy price!!![/size] Come on,someone..... Edited April 1, 2009 by slapmonsta
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Seems like it's Status week here on the basses for sale forum!
doctor_of_the_bass Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Wow! Looks just like my first ever Status that I bought back in '92 - yes, the core wood is mahogany!

I feel ashamed I don't know this,as I originally sold this bass to the guy I bought it off when I worked in an infamous music shop "back in the day..."..yes people,Rob Green once sold his mighty wares through shops!! I was actually picking it up when you 'phoned me about the Kingbass! Best, Steve.
doctor_of_the_bass Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Sorry - when I said `core' wood, I was referring to the `wings' - the central section (where the neck is set) is walnut! The accent layer between the facing (looks like a cross between flamed and quilted maple) and mahogany is maple, tinted yellow (mine was very similar!). Yes, I remember the phone call!

lozbass Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) An absolute bargain! I have absolutely no need for another Status but find myself very tempted - it seems churlish not too at this price Edited March 29, 2009 by lozbass
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 C'mon guys - This is an absolute steal at this money! All the bass you'll ever need
slapmonsta Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Bass now sold to Jam. Welcome to the world of utterly playable graphite necks,mate...and a pleasure doing business with you. All the best, Steve.
Jam Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks so much for everything man, no problems at all. Got back into Oxford about 50 mins ago, have just wolfed down some food in anticipation of the noise I'm about to make! I shall leave you feedback shortly. Thanks again!
