[quote name='noelk27' post='1361879' date='Sep 4 2011, 04:18 PM']I'm assuming 15mm centre to centre? Was that unusual for a Status bass? For some reason I'd always associated 17.5mm and upwards with Status 5-ers. At 15mm though, this is quite interesting. Can you tell me the scale length? With Status headless models I'd always assumed 34", and headed models 34.75". Edit: And is the mini-toggle switch an active/passive switch or a cut/boost control?[/quote] Yes as you'd expect from from a Status headless it's a 34" scale. The toggle switch is a mid cut boost and works very well in that respect. 15mm centre to centre was a normal option back in the late 80's when I believe this bass emerged from the Colchester factory. 15mm was a bit of a revelation for me.

Yes it's still up for sale Mr Moo Whereabouts are you based? Peter

[quote name='Merton' post='1360002' date='Sep 2 2011, 03:44 PM']I guess you're wanting to sell as a whole rather than split, Peter? Something rather alluring about those cabs....[/quote] To be honest Martin yes it's easier to sell it together but with this rig the sum is definitely greater than the parts. I reckon that the impedance of the two 112's is nearer 2 ohms than 4 and the amp thrives on this. Peter

I've got a Harvest - top strap although this one is probably too long for me. I'm 5' 9" and don't like my bass very low, what do you think? Peter

A gentle Status shaped bump for this bass

All's well here Alan. How are things down South? I've gone and bought one of Dave P's EAD cabs, hopefully give it a proper test this week. Using it with a Markbass F1 head. Peter

Is that a 450 Ducati I spy there Mike?

Thanks Alex I'm glad you appreciate it I don't want a long drawn out sale I'd just like to see it go to a good home.

[quote name='david_l_perry' post='1358657' date='Sep 1 2011, 12:09 PM']Thats a lot of bass for the money...!! Cant imagine it will be up for long....[/quote] What he said

My old rig, an EA iAmp 800 (the model with the built in Sabine tuner) 4 EQ parametric in good and fully functional condition and two CXL 112 cabs (one is an EV and one a 'II' but they are both 8 ohm and have a tweeter and pair magnificently). The cabs are in very good condition too and include Roqsolid covers. The head is currently in a Gator hard case as per the photo. This rig functions superbly as is. The cabs actual impedance is less than 8 ohms, an EA anomaly that means that some heads can overheat or cut out (Markbass). The head goes down to 2 ohms so suits the cabs perfectly. This is one very articulately sounding rig for the bargain price of £600 collected. I can meet up or deliver a reasonable distance. I even have a spare concentric tweeter if I can lay a finger on it.

It seems we both love Status and ACG basses! I'm still in love with my Harlot singlecut, it's definitely my favourite bass although I have been thinking of ordering a new one lately for fun! Out of interest, can you remember the type and gauge of strings that the Harlot had on when I bought it from you? They were very good strings![/quote] I'm not sure of the gauge Chris but they were either DR Sunbeams if nickel or SITs if s/s. Glad the harlot is still feeling the love, it's a very nice bass Peter

Thanks for the bumps guys. I've said that I'd rather it be collected or I deliver within reason but if you want it delivered of course it can be done. Peter

I'll update on the white pearl, a favourite of mine if it's sparkly too

I've been out of the BC loop for ages but it's good to see that the 'special' nature of this bass is universal. As I said, I really would jump on it if I could justify a 4. I've bought the white Sterling 5 HS a couple of days ago too partly from this Sterling experience and partly from owning a Bongo HS some years back. Go for it John Peter

It's 15mm. Narrower that the norm but once I acclimatised I found it great, hence my Salace will have 15mm spacing too.

I'm pretty sure that I owned this bass quite a while. Honestly one of the few I really miss. If I didn't play 5's nowadays I'd jump at this. Does it have a Nordy pup still? Peter

I've been meaning to 'thin the herd' for a while but an incoming bass means that I've been jolted into action. This is a very nice example of Mr Green's work and is in good overall condition for it's age. No major dings just the usual swirls and marks on the rear as you can hopefully see from the photos. The wings are burr madrone. The bass plays really well and all the electronics are sound. This bass is the inspiration for my custom ACG Salace, that's how good it is. It's also a true neck through bass. Controls are: Master Volume Pickup Balance Active Circuit - Bass - cut / boost +/-10dB at 50Hz - Treble - ciut / boost +/-14dB at 10KHz - Parametric Midrange Control +/-10db fully variable between 300Hz and 3KHz - Midrange control switch (Boost, Flat, Cut) Pickups - Two Hyperactive HR High Resolution Pickups 2 x 9 volt PP3 batteries with easy access compartments. I'm prefer collection or I'm happy to deliver or meet up half way. Will come with a decent gig bag I think that £900 is a good price. Oops, nearly forgot the photos, can take more/better if requested. Viewing and questions welcomed. Peter
