Thanks for the replies and pm

firsr let me apologise for perhaps not stating in the original post,

i have been asked by lots of people to post and have politely declined,

i have previously posted two basses,the first was damaged in transit 

second  never arrived 

i had pictures of the guy on pickup and the van etc,on both occasions it was a royal pain to sort 

A meet halfway if not the other end of the country is always possible ,

whilst some will say you would sell quicker if you post 

it is my decision 

sorry  for going on

cheers 

stef

So this is now back up for sale

was asked to hold do I did,

not heard anything so here we are

cheers

both these items have never been gigged,the amp was a spare at giggs

therefore never had to use,the cab was my house setup,as such was taken from the shop 

to house and there it’s stayed used at low volume

cheers

stef

Status energy 5 string

energy five string, lovely old active  bass

no truss rod but has carbon inserts in the neck

plays well sounds great,

comes with original status gig bag tatty but usable and the 

original bass centre strap with locks

just a lovely thing not being used as my go to is my overwaters,

trades welcome I could use a fretless 

cheers

Status matrix

so as lockdown eases I am selling some basses,amps and pedals.

firstly is this status from the early nineties, got this a few years ago from a lovely chap near Birmingham,

i gigged it for a while but now my go to is a pair of overwaters,

 comes with a tatty old hard case,

super fast neck with a low action and light strings,

super range of sounds,from a early bass,

open to trades as well for a fretless 

cheers

stef

These are my two,and if you read my previous reply on page one I think I 

put the weight of these two

so I use a markbass 121h combo and matching cab

I have the amp set flat and my bass controls the sound,from my 

overwaters and its absolutely awesome

I do use a compressor in my pedal board but only used on a few bits and bobs,

don't suppose a trade is of interest

Oh that's nice I wish I knew this before

However 8 see loads of people complain about the weight.

I never had a problem for basses weighing more then 5kg

I mean I played loads of gigs but most of gigs weren't more then 50 min so no a issue for me

so do you always playing standing or do you  4 5 hours straight? Why suddenly everyone has problem with weight? I 7ndwrstand few people play on cruise ship etc

I think since lighter basses become available people stir away from heavier one even if they sit at home everyday for practise. I always found the sound of heavier basses more rounder then my other 3kg bass

So I have just weighed my overwater 4 and it’s 3.79kg against my carbon status at 3.91 kg,

also just did the same with my 5string overwater at 3.98 kg against my status 5 string at 4.12 kg the five string status is wood with the carbon inserts in the neck

so in the greater scheme of thing not overly heavy 

cheers

Is there any charge for this?? Times??

normally from 11/12  till late afternoon,

there is no charge for entry,

phil man will be there all day along with Chris and Kirsty the owners,

mo foster usually turns up a few of the players from theatre land etc

i will be coming up from Hastings my wife needs no excuse to go shopping while I go to the joint,need to probably discuss a fretless

it is usually pretty cool,just never know who you will bump into

cheers

hope you find this of interest

stef

so I own both a 4 string and 5 string custom jazzes stunning in every respect

weight wise my four is lighter than my status and the five is not much more

they by far give me all I need,for me they are just fantastic basses well made and a fantastic range of sounds

chris and Kirsty from overwater are always just at the end of the phone if needed,

there is a overwater get together this sunday at the joint at kings cross,chris and Kirsty will both be there and there will be a few basses for people to try 

finally my overwaters are my go to basses aboveall else

to all my fellow bass chatters 

I wish you all a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year

cheers

stef

overwater fretless could tempt me
