al embic Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 had a few moans about the price.....it's guide.....no sensible offer will be dismissed out of hand.....i'm led to believe theres at least a 16 week wait for a new one and the price would be up towards the £1700.....this is a real chance to get an as new,one off,for a good saving.
OutToPlayJazz Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Quite true, the basic price of a new one would be £1425 before the custom finish, which I'd guess would put at least another couple of hundred onto the price. To give you an example, to change the spec of a bolt on Status model from satin finish lacquer to custom gloss polyester lacquer costs £350. So this kind of paint job is going to be very expensive if you order it. There's also the matter of the 16 week wait on orders at the moment... So even at £1200 this is a bargain point to start talking numbers with Al here & I'm sure he'll knock you some off for a quick sale

lozbass Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Absolutely bl**dy lovely - I'm off to get me old Status out (I'd forgotten how much I love 'em) That finish is stunning - I'm surprised this is hanging about at this price
MB1 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 MB1. ...Looks like Laurence has gone all Carboniferous Graphitous on us? BUMP!
al embic Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 sunday bump..............anything.........anybody???
OutToPlayJazz Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 This is such a lovely bass at an amazing price as well. Someone must have readies somewhere. Once you've played an S2 it's hard to look back. It's the ultimate do-anything bass.

[/quote] thanks again mate....not looking like anyone has the pennies for this....or are they lurking for a price drop????
OutToPlayJazz Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Nah, the market's just very slow at the moment, mate. Looks like you're keeping it for the moment though, which can't be a bad thing Rich.
TheBlueFalcon Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 I have to say that I probably would have taken your arm off with the bass by now, if I wasn't on such a tight budget.
