  1. Hello ladies and gents

    I have up for sale my beautiful Status Empathy 5 string bass.

    There's little to say about this bass that the pictures won't convey. It is stunning, not a scratch on it, everything working perfectly and plays like a dream.

    The serial number is #046204 and is from the mid 90's

    The book matched facing and back wood is a burr madrone.

    This is a sale only so no trades, sorry

    Bass located in Switzerland but can be shipped anywhere at the buys cost

    Many thanks

  2. Hello hello

    I have for sale a Status Series 2000 bass. The colour is a pearl 'milky' white. It's a custom one off done by Rob.

    This bass is from the early 90's so the second generation Series 2000.

    The serial number is #1585 having spoken to Rob he isn't sure why the serial number is what it is but he's sure it's a custom special because he didn't use that colour back then.

    Anyway, it's in superb condition with only one small 'chip' on the back (see last picture) and a few scratches on the side. Nothing visible from the front. The bass looks immaculate AND plays like a real dream. I have 4 of these and this is the best to play IMO.

    Here are some pictures. Sorry for the poor quality but my photography is like my bass playing... sh** ;)

    The bass is located in London

    Thanks

    P.S. No trades I'm afraid, sale only!

    Can you descibe the controls ? There a switch, it's for the LEDs ?

    Yup. Lined fretless. I had the boys at The Bass Gallery do it. Very nice job!

    As for the woods, Warwick offers Swamp Ash body with maple top - as listed, and you can add the back of the bass in another wood, but it is charged as another top.
    Meaning that if you have Flamed Maple top with swamp ash body and add Flamed Maple Back... it might be the case.
    Maybe a picture of the side could show if there's a sandwich ? :-)

    Just looked at the bass. There's no 'join' in the wood. Looks solid!!

    Those cheeky little Germans!!

    Is this the bass that used to belong to Johno1919 before he moved to Sadowsky?

    No idea sorry.

    I bought the bass from Alex at The Bass Gallery a few years ago.

    To be honest, I didn't want to know who she'd 'been with' before :P

  6. Yes guys

    I changed the hardware from black to gold because it looked a bit nicer (to me). The black was tired and the gold gave the bass some life!

    As for the woods etc... Blame Warwick! I just typed the S/N into their site and that's a picture of the results!!

    It looks very 'mapley' to me. Maybe the swamp ash is inside??!?!!?!?!?

    :)

    [color=#444444]Dear all[/color]

    [b][color=#444444]I was hoping to be able to keep this bass but unfortunately I need some more money for my new web project. So...[/color][/b]

    [color=#444444]Details are below. I've had this bass for a couple of years. I bought it from Alex at the Bass Gallery. Since buying it I have replaced all the black hardware for lovely new gold hardware. I also had it defretted and lines put in by the boys in the workshop at the Gallery.[/color]

    [color=#444444]I paid £1,200 for it and I've spent a few hundred on it so I would be happy getting £1,200. No trade I'm afraid.[/color]

    [color=#444444]The original custom order can be seen below and it would have cost over £5,500 new.[/color]

    [color=#444444]It has blue front LED's fitted by Martin Sims.[/color]













    Apologies for the poor pictures but hopefully you get the idea

    It's in pretty good nick with a few dings on the body but plays perfectly!

    The bass is located in London. You're welcome to try before you buy.

    Many thanks
