Gamble Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Heyo! I've decided to let this Status Energy 5 go as my bass gear piggy bank is running low. I picked this bass up in a trade a while back and set it up E to C so I could tinker around with chords and tapping (nice flat fretboard and low action), but I intend on changing it back to B to G before letting it go (unless that's a deal breaker). It's got active EMGs fitted and although I dont know when I last plugged it in, from memory it sounds great so I suggest someone snags it quick before I plug it in and go "Aw man, this sounds great - I'll keep it!" As you can see from the pics it's got some wear and tear, I consider it mojo myself, but I'll call it relic/distressing and charge an extra hundred quid if that helps. Collection from Norwich preferred but I'll ship within the UK at the buyer's expense - having looked at the fine print for insurance I personally think there's too many hoops to jump through to not give them a get out if something goes wrong, so I'll also be willing to jump in the car and deliver it personally for the cost of fuel within a reasonable distance. I work at Snetterton Monday to Friday which I can use as a headstart if you're in that direction. Really I just want a cash sale, but I'll consider trades for compact and/or powerful lightweight cabs, or an EHX Pitchfork (maybe similar polyphonic harmoniser pedals). Any questions please ask!

prowla Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 If I didn’t already have three very nice wood-necked Statii, I’d have that! 1
Tdw Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 I've got a couple of wooden necked status and i agree that this is a great instrument for the price 1
Gamble Posted November 28, 2021 Author Posted November 28, 2021 Somebody managed to spot from these photos that these fret markers aren't original, I hadn't even noticed but on closer inspection I thought it'd be worth just mentioning that whoever fitted them hasn't done a flawless job - see these close-ups. As I said, I didn't even realise so it can't be too noticeable at any kind of distance, and it in no way affects how the bass plays - I just wanted to be up front about it incase I end up shipping the bass to a buyer with a discerning eye.

I've been looking into shipping costs, it seems like jumping through all the hoops required to make the insurance worth paying for will mean shipping in a hard case (I do have an old battered one I could use if needed) and will cost about £50, which seems steep to me - perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places. The alternative is trust my packing skills and hope the couriers don't do anything really silly and it should be about £10/15
Gamble Posted November 29, 2021 Author Posted November 29, 2021 Alternatively, just swing by my place on your way to a fun filled day at Great Yarmouth sea front and attractions - no queues this time of year!
prowla Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Oh c'mon, this is ridiculous someone should buy this. There's someone looking for double the price for a Status copy! 1
Gamble Posted January 18, 2022 Author Posted January 18, 2022 Stiiiiiiiiiiil heeeeeeeeeeeeere........ I've got the amp I was after now, but would consider trades for and EHX Pitchfork or other harmoniser pedals, or possibly a small cab (1x10 or 1x12 kinda size) with cash my way
LloydyG10 Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Hi, whats the string spacing on this please? Ta 🙂

prowla Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 I’m amazed this is still available. every time I pick up my Statii I think Wow! 1

A Galen kruger fusion 500 I’d swop I've actually got the amp I was after (should probably update the original post), but I am interested in this amp if it's the one I've seen online - got three 12AX7s in there?

status1 Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Yeah that’s the one I think it’s silver,I got one already and thought it was that good I got a spare but now I don’t need it as I’m using my TC head which gives me onboard effects for my other band I’m doing 1
Gamble Posted March 5, 2022 Author Posted March 5, 2022 Just a heads up - I'm getting towards the point of slapping it on Reverb and doubling the price to cover the fees, so if you want a bargain grab it soon!
Gamble Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 I'm travelling from Norwich to Gerrards Cross (near Slough) this weekend, so free delivery if you're on or near that route!
