vmaxblues Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Hi, just thought I would put this out there as I don't use it and it is a real beauty in great condition. It is serial number 196 and it looks like this... (Excuse my rubbish photographic efforts) I am looking for £700 plus postage if anyone is interested. It is very difficult to photograph a shiny bass!

vmaxblues Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Doctor of the bass quotes: "Allo! Lovely Status there - you might want to add that it appears to have been modded in terms of the electronics - these originally had just 3 controls, stepped master volume, p/up blend and active treble boost - yours looks to have two tone controls that I'd asssume would perhaps be bass and treble eq! Also - these were the evolution of the wooden bodied 3000 series - the 4000 has a resin body! I had an identical one but fretless. ATB! Nick" Thanks Nick, I really don't know about mods, it all looks original, but I will bow to your knowledge, and yes it does have a sexy resin body!!

doctor_of_the_bass Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sorry Stu - I spelt `assume' wrongly! ATB with the sale - great bass. I'd say that if they are seperate bass and treble controls, it will actually be more versatile tonally than in its original guise (which would have still been pretty good!!)

Kiwi Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 theres a matching Series 4000 fretless on Ebay at the moment, although its got a fair bit of player wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrinkleygit Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This used to be mine,the electronics were upgraded by status,spec is master vol,pan,treble cut/boost & bass cut/boost.Only reason I sold this was I found status necks a little wide for my arthritic fingers . A headless Status is something that every bass player should own at least once in their lifetime,double ball strings are easy to source or you can use single ball & clamp them at the nut,Great bass for someone out their,best of luck with the sale, mike b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
