What sort of markings does it have - just side fretdots at the fret positions, or also side fretmarks?

[quote name='bobpalt' post='933518' date='Aug 23 2010, 12:12 PM']I have a laquer crack in the neck pocket of my Zon too, and when I bought it 4 years ago(its a 2002 model), I was told that it had been there since new, and all Zons had them, or got them in time!

Maybe bolt on necks - I've had two set neck Zons and neither had anything like this. Could be about bolt tension or something.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='879784' date='Jun 28 2010, 12:50 PM']With my favourite basses being in a few recent threads, I was wondering just how many Statii there are out there on BC at the moment?

What attracts you to your particular choice of Status in terms of sound, playability & quality, etc?[/quote]

I'm surprised to see that I was the first to add a KB mark II to the voter list. It's actually parked in my brothers studio waiting for me to collect, but it is still MINE. I've had a KB Artist and a Standard and am hoping that the mark II body shape works better for me (my mark II is a headless). I've also had an empathy, which was probably the nicest Status I've owned (rosewood headed - just amazing).

Now I want to add a fretless Status, preferably a Streamline.

[quote name='dub' post='920719' date='Aug 10 2010, 03:21 PM']Has anyone had much experience of headless singlecut basses?

I know Sei make a model like this and I would imagine that the extra mass and rigidity would make up for the lack of mass that a headstock would bring, but I've never had a chance to try one.[/quote]

You should also check out the Status Streamline for an extreme headless 'singlecut'. I am not 100% sure why the design is singlecut like, but I imagine is largely for ergonomics (gives you a strap connection further away from the tiny body without the crazy boomerang rig like the Steinberger).

Took me about 6months to work it out myself!! [/quote]

Just like on any standard British keyboard! Gotta love the Mac...

Probably a lack of local interest only - not being willing to post may be hurting your market. I've received and shipped basses without hardb cases, and it's not as tough as it may seem. The last one came in a plywood box full of packing foam.

Man it's annoying when people totally delete past posts. Just leave the details so we have the history of pricing and availability and just add sold to the title! Why wipe out all evidence that the listing ever existed?!?

[quote name='BassKS' post='867514' date='Jun 14 2010, 09:50 PM']What am I thinking. For the money, This bass p*sses all over other basses. Its staying with me. MODS PLEASE DELETE[/quote]

I guess this means our deal is off - thanks for letting me know - good thing I didn't buy replacement pickups today...

Maybe give it a shot over at the statii forum?

It's a neat looking bass and I'd be interested if I could convince myself to try a 5 stringer, but that's probably not going to work. Maybe a dedicated Status person will jump on it, so it's worth a try over there.

That's the oddest looking shortscale 6 string bass I've ever seen. Looks almost like a guitar...

[quote name='richardd' post='860794' date='Jun 8 2010, 10:51 AM'] Hi .Yes I find that strange every Bass from 1 till now but no number 42,the body is Alder maple neck modora board light wieght tuners nordy pickups aguilar obp1,I bought this bass direct from Nino in 2007 in great condition no fret wear just two very minor dings on the body.if really interested pm me for a conntact no Rich[/quote]

The fretboard looks hot, but I am not sure I understand what wood it's made from?? Looks like a type of rosewood?

DO you have build details (woods, fretboard etc)? I looked on the Valenti website and this bass doesn't appear (skips over #42 for some reason).

[quote name='BassKS' post='857384' date='Jun 4 2010, 03:53 PM']PS. you pay 350 and leave the pups with me. pickup a set of BArts 2nd hand for 80 quid and there you go. A cracker for 430 pounds....[/quote]

If only I had the electronics skills to pull it off! I've rewired the house and apparently did it wrong, and that was my last attempt at mucking around with wires...

Why were the Barts removed? Why remove some high end pups to put in the Wizards? I'm interested in the bass, but would be more interested with the Barts, especially since the Wizards are described as being very retro sounding, but I am not personally familiar with them

where's this one made? I'm not a Fender guy, but have been thinking of trying a J bass...

Price? My understanding is that forum rules state you need to name a price to list something for sale.

[quote name='Shockwave' post='794329' date='Apr 2 2010, 02:54 PM']I have just found someone to re-polyester the fingerboard.[/quote]

Who? I have found people that will do an epoxy finish on a fretboard, but I don't think that that is the same as the type of hard polyester finish on a buzz board.

[quote name='martthebass' post='788874' date='Mar 28 2010, 09:03 PM']Nice abalone dots positioned on the fret - as it should be [/quote]

Are these just in the usual dot positions (e.g., 3rd, fifth etc) or do they mark all fret positions?

Muchos gracias amigo.

Okay, and what exactly is this wonderful 'effectively' bolt-on Pedulla? I am a huge Buzz fan and considered this one, but I prefer a 4 string traditional Buzz over a Penta (which I used to own, but which proved to have too many strings for me).

What type of fretboard? Looks like plain ebony?

Is the fretboard coated? it looks shiny for ebony or ebanol. Are there any grooves in the fretboard surface?

Do you have pictures or a link to go with the Jazz bass?

Nice, but not a Pentabuzz. Buzz means a Pedulla fretless with the coated fretboard. This is just an MVP.
