We're not really taking this seriously are we![/quote] Sorry, just seeing if anyone's interested first. haven't had chance to take pics. But as I mentioned, it's identical to the one on Status's website, and is absolute mint. As far as price, I'm open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's a Status, it's got 5 strings and it's mint ... there will be a hoard of BC'ers dribbling onto their keyboards in anticipation And Rich, you can bugger orf... you can't have all of em for gods sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.[/quote] Hi Rich, there doesn't seem to be a number on the string retainer. All the hardware is black. There is a number directly under the tuners at the bridge - 10032957. Hope this helps.

OutToPlayJazz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks for that, Pete. Looking at the serial, it's not late 80's. More like late 90's to early noughties. If it has the 3-band preamp (the three small controls under the larger volume and panpot) it's definitely much newer Is it a headed or headless one? Rich.

Small 3-band active control knobs. The wood is mostly quilt maple with birds-eye parts...quite unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Sounds really nice - There'll be people queuing up for that one on here - Get some pics up asap and best of luck with the sale mate Btw, judging by the serial and comparing it to some on the Status basses register, it looks like manufacture was around October 2003. Definitely an S2-Classic. Edited March 30, 2009 by OutToPlayJazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Dear Pete Academy There was no sarcasm in my post, I was pointing out that you have a very saleable bass that a lot of the members would love to own. I suggest you might want to read through things a couple of times before replying in future. I was actually on the verge of making you an offer for it but to be quite honest I would rather shove live wasps up my arse. Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
