OutToPlayJazz Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) **THIS BASS IS NOW SOLD** Many thanks for all the interest! Okay, this bass will be with me on Friday (owned by an ex-pupil who's now selling up) and is now for sale at £1350 or nearest offer. More detailed pics to come when it arrives with me. Specs are mahogany body with walnut centre tone block, spalted maple top, a nice amber tint, black hardware, monorail bridge units, Status board 302 3-band eq with micro switch for mid cut/flat/boost & Status hotwires 30-115 double ball end strings. Graphite through neck with two way trussrod & top string retainer capable of taking both double ball end or standard strings. The bass is in excellent condition - Anyone who knows these basses will know that the finish on the poly gloss is one of the toughest finishes around - Status use the same material they use for binding the graphite composites together to lacquer the instrument, so play this bass regularly, look after it and it will still look new in twenty years' time! This bass comes complete with the Status-branded Hiscox lifelite hard case. If interested contact me here, or email [email protected], or call with any questions/queries on 07545 471037. Rich.

No matter what sound you create from your playing position/eq settings, you'll always cut through the mix like a scythe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My series II has been my main (and sometimes [i]only[/i]!) bass for nearly 25 years. In that time I have played in pop, funk, soul, blues, rock and metal bands - and [i]never[/i] has the bass been found wanting! This one is beautiful. And I'd love a Status five.... Hmmmm. I hope it sells quickly before I do something silly!!! Edited August 6, 2010 by Conan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
