Just saw an RIP on Talkbass.......😞

SAME! I coveted one for years. It looked so much sexier than my WEM Dominator MkII. By the time I got the money together for the rig, HH had done away with the 2 x 15" cab with the clip-on front, something that I really wanted, But I bought the newer model to go with the IC100S. I removed the wheels and stuck them on the side to use the cab as a trolley for gear! 😆 Those Bass Machines were HH's attempt to make the amp look like the Acoustic rigs (Jaco, JPJ) that were popular back then.

I see his magnum opus - a Night in Langney - is still up there.

I'm sure, in a previous discussion on this beast, that someone on here said they used to cart one around on public transport!

THE WASHING MACHINE!!!

The nut....

Why??

Higher than the Forth Bridge!

'Perfect balance'......Hmmmm. I wonder if someone who promotes this on his 'builds' is reading this?

Ahhhh, that reminds me of someone....

Actually, I had that issue on an acoustic bass guitar. It did indeed turn out to be the string!

Nice bass. Interesting intonation on the E.

I'd leave it. It looks great.

You can be him! Virtual Jon

Which bare also reminiscent of the Burns Flyte.

1+ to check neck pocket shim.

Interesting set neck. @Bassassin

That name sounds familiar.

I sold my Series II in the mid '90s, just when I started really getting into Jazz basses. The Status had been with me since '86 and suddenly, one day, I fell out of love with it and sold it to a guy in a guitar shop who was desperate for it. About a year later, he offered to sell it back to me but I declined. It wasn't until the early/mid 2000's that I began hankering after it again. After much seeking, I found it on Statii. I remember contacting the owner, asking him if he'd consider selling it, and he pretty much said 'no chance'. C'est la vie.

I had a Series II back in the '80s/'90s and have often thought about getting another Status, but not at these prices.
