giblett123 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone This is a status S1 graphite necked 5 string. The bass is in great condition with a really nice wood top & sounds awesome. The neck & fret work are in top condition & the only blemish is very small amount of buckle rash on the back of the body. I got this bass in a trade with JD1 recently & it is a really great sounding bass, loads of punch & definition as you'd expect with a Status & the B string is nice & tight, very playable! I love this bass but have enough trouble coping with 4 strings so would be looking to either sell at £650 ono or possible trade for a status S1 or S2 4 stringer in good nick. Cheers for looking.

I'm not entirely sure, obviously its narrower than a standard 4 but the neck profile on one of these is fairly shallow so you can still play the thing in comfort; I can still slap on it & I have zero skills in that area so it can't be that tight! Cheers for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy[/quote] Cheers for the info Andy, I tried to measure it but its kind of difficult to do accurately & I couldn't find the spec online. Many thanks.
