So presumably if the bass is natively set up for bead then other than a slight truss rod adjustment it should be a straight swap on a lighter string set to go to eadg? ps ...just noticed that status use a zero fret ...so i guess thinner strings shouldn't really be an issue in this case.

Is it possible to experiment with various string gauges on a status headless bass or are you constricted by some form of nut slot size? I was hoping a status headless bass might be a good platform in which to easily swap between bead and eadg string sets without having to get any work done on the nut. So is this the case or is there more to it than that assuming the bass would be initially set up for the wider gauge bead tuning? Thanks.

6950??.... I wonder what the profit margin is? it would be good to see the company futureproof itself by delegating to a larger workforce and bringing the prices down a bit. But having read this I'm just glad i managed to pick up a 1990 markii a few years ago. Stupidly i sold my first wal for a few hundred quid in the late 90s because I needed the space thinking I will just pick up another later on since they are obviously not worth much, boy did I get that one wrong.
