joe_geezer Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Just noticed this post on Status's site: Quote Due to the volume of orders we have decided to temporarily close our order book. This will allow time to work on some new ideas which have been on the back-burner for a while. Sounds interesting, maybe they are going to reissue some past models...? They are also add: Quote We will add more information when we are accepting new orders. Edited December 15, 2021 by joe_geezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Maybe it's because of the carbon footprint. Edited December 16, 2021 by Hellzero 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_geezer Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Yes, it's all a bit of a matrix this waiting list and i certainly don't have any empathy for them... Edited December 16, 2021 by joe_geezer 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Personally, I wait for post new year. Maybe April to coincide with the new financial year for a massive price increase across the board. Oh, and a 10th Kingbass because there just has to be another one as if they didn't do one people wouldn't be able to play Mr Pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Mark King now exclusively playing Jaydee's at his most recent gigs, I wonder if this has any bearing on the stop on new orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that has anything to do with it and I of course was being sarcastic. MK fans have done very well for Status. I think Rob is probably doing the Electro 4 and maybe the Alex Venturella bass. Who knows, they might even update their website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd56hawk Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Good, better than telling someone they'll get their bass in February and then making them wait until August. Plenty of other companies have been doing just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
