The weight is approx. 4.2 kg

I also prefer lighter gauges on Status basses, currently 35-95 resp. 35-120 (five strings). For some reason, on this bass I felt better with 40-100 (original Status Hotwire Double Ball Strings). But also with this slightly thicker strings the bass allows very fast playing and low action. In general the ergonomics are excellent on this bass.

Because of him I started to play bass back then. But on that bass I have 40-100. Gives a bit more richness to the sound and adds some more natural forward bow to the neck (at least according to me ) as those models came without the truss-rod.

2500£ / 2950€ Considering to sell my Status Series II Bass. Hard to let it go, because it’s a beautiful instrument, but in the end, I prefer 5-string basses, so before it doesn’t get played at all anymore, maybe it’s better to sell it... Status Graphite Series II I assume from the late 80s, but I’m not sure as I got it myself used. It hasn’t been played much during the last twenty years. But it probably has been played a lot in its early days, because it has some marks on the body. I tried to document them as good as possible on the photos. In general, the bass is in a good condition for its age. Everything is functioning, but the knobs are scratching a bit (especially the volume knob). The playability is very good, as it should be on a Status, allowing low action. I have a case for it, which is fine inside, but not in such a good condition from the outside. I don’t know if it’s the original case, it just has always been there. Anyway, it’s good enough to serve for sending the bass to a potential buyer. Currently I’m not interested in trades.

Now SOLD!

The bass is on hold now!

That's a very good idea, but we shouldn't tell anybody, cause somebody might really do it 😂

If you're interested in Wal maybe you heard it already. Wal stopped accepting orders at the moment and the waiting time for a new Wal extended to 4 years...

Back up for sale is my Wal Mk2 5-String from August 1987, now reduced in price to £5100. Mahogany body, shedua facings. It has the usual dents and scratches, but in general it’s in a really good shape for its age. The major ones you can see on the photos (scratches on the front and bumps on the headstock). The damages are only cosmetic and have no negative impact on the playability, sound or function of the bass. The bass sounds and plays great. It’s set up professionally and strung with Dunlop 45-125 strings. The frets are in excellent condition. I got it myself used some time ago. The weight is ca. 5,2 kg. I don’t have the original Wal case, but I have a case to transport it safely. The bass is located in Germany / Munich.

Back up for sale ... price reduced to £5100

Withdrawn now - for a while at least due to other plans ...

Never had the chance to try the Mk1, but I guess you're right the Mk1 is comfier and probably lighter , although my favourite shape remains the Mk2. Thanks a lot for the hints especially regarding talkbass, I appreciate that very much! I visited talkbass some time ago and I had the same impression, so I'll consider indeed ...

Thank you guys for all the very kind comments and hints. It's a pleasure being here...

Yes, absolutely! It's really special!

Thanks
