Ha ha it’s a fantastic instrument

I bought this bass this week on a whim - I’ve been looking for the headless version of my Status S3000 for some time and this came up in this rather fetching gold sparkle custom finish. The ad is probably still on here so I will find a link to it. It’s a lovely bass, plays really well and I’ve set the action low similar to my headed bass. It sounds fantastic with an 18v Status preamp - nice and simple, pickup blend, volume and tone. The neck is gorgeous and the previous owner added larger luminous position dots at the front and side. I assume these can be removed if required. The bass was custom finished for a French company who were selling a bunch of these according to the seller. It’s definitely a pro job. The neck is the earlier non truss rod variety and is straight and true. The serial number is 70 so it’s probably early 90’s. The reason I’m selling is down to the ergonomics really. This bass is 4.5kgs and very comfortable to play however it’s just a bit too heavy for me for the long and energetic gigs I play (when we are allowed to again). Secondly on my Status the upper bout of the body has a softer chamfer for my forearm to rest, this one is a little more angular and really bothers me when playing finger style. So a very nice S series Status in excellent functional and cosmetic condition. I don’t want trades thanks and I won’t send overseas. I’d prefer pickup but will post using UPS at a cost of £30 with basic cover. I’m asking what I paid for it. It comes in a decent gig bag with two spare unopened sets of Status Hotwire double ball ended strings. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/434466-status-s3000-4-string-with-hotwires-now-sold/

Yes at your cost and depending if you are in the UK as stated in the ad.

Now £315 350 watts into 8ohms 550 watts into 4ohms An excellent small footprint amplifier for both upright bass and electric bass. This is the first version of the amp. Channels are switchable and there are decent tone shaping facilities as well as a notch filter and phase control to help dial out feedback from acoustic instruments. I’m not interested in trades. I’m having a clear out of my spare amps and as I rarely play both upright and electric bass on the same gig this needs to go. It is in excellent condition although there are cosmetic signs of use as it has been gigged regularly. See pictures. Some pots have a little static but a squirt of servisol will sort that. The fan works as it ought to and a mains lead is included. The biro in the pictures is to give the amp some scale. I can post for about £15 UK only but pickup is preferred - at a distance of course. I’d consider a trade for a Markbass LM type head.

Can I not tempt you Brian? 😆

Unfortunately as a result of Parcelforce losing a valuable bass I bought and the ongoing compensation battle I need to sell this. Last in first out as they say. A recent purchase just prior to lockdown it hasn’t been gigged since and is in exactly the same condition as when I bought it off Bigthumb. For this limited edition model Fender combined classic features of the past with innovations from the present to create a unique take on the Precision bass. It has a light weight, contoured body and heavy duty bridge with options for through body stringing. A classic P bass and it plays beautifully. Frets have little wear and there are only a couple of tiny dings to the finish. The case is included as are all the bits and bobs. It weighs around 9lbs and balances perfectly. No trades I’m afraid, no none UK sales as it’s too expensive and risky. If you want it posting you will need to organise this yourself and it will need to be insured.My recent experiences mean I won’t accept Parcelforce as a courier option and collection is Tuesdays only. I’d definitely prefer pickup in person at an acceptable social distance of course! I will put the bass in it’s case in quarantine until the next lucky person plays it! Sold pending payment

The ubiquitous weight question?

Yes probably I’ve had four of them over the years. Always searching for the right bass and then I go back to my old Precisions and the Grabber!

I owned this bass for a while Years ago it is an excellent example of Doug’s work. A steal at the price. GLWTS

The warranty has around 3 months to run. I’m not sure if it’s transferable but it’s near new and not been pushed. If you arranged and paid for insured courier pickup that would be okay - I can pack it up in the original box.
