Hello Si, it is indeed the Custom distressed Status from Ebay. Built for James Stelfox (Starsailor) at the same time as Martin Blunt's (Charlatans). Think James pulled it when he realised the low BIN would be hurt be fees. This was one of the ones before Status started the Vintage Artist series. Rather close to the Guy Pratt one. Meanwhile, back at the Mex P Bass Special Deluxe series, lot's more PM's replied, this will probably be gone by the end of today. At least three are in the final throes of pushing the button. Cheers, Karl. GONE THANKS, to a chap from Bumtree.

More PM's replied. Sorry folks, sale only. Cheers, Karl.

Top bloke, top bass, but not a top fisherman (sorry Bob, only joshin!) GLWTS and enjoy the fishing you lucky sod! Cheers, Karl.

Further pm's replied, thank you. In response to one comment, I think the price, either couriered or collected, is rather good for a bass that is really not that far off the American version. Right, brag alert. The following Status Custom is why this cracking Special Deluxe needs to go [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0374_zps4d98a8de.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0374_zps4d98a8de.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0375_zpsfb453879.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0375_zpsfb453879.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Thanks chaps. It's a really excellent bass but I'm at the stage now where even a hidden keeper has to go. Simply because of some of the superb basses I've managed to get . All PM's replied to thanks, Karl.

Sorry to the other interested guys but this is now sold subject to payment.

This was supposed to have gone on Friday but he never showed. I am now at 5 basses and need to move one on. If this doesn't go in a few days at the REDUCED price of £850 collected, I will be putting up my US Sonic Blue and Mex Precision Special Deluxe (1998 passive P/J pups, factory P body, factory J neck). Whichever goes first, the other two will be removed. I very rarely reduce my price as I think I always sell a quality instrument at a fair price. Watch this space .

Cheers Tom, less of the manic Cheers Joe.

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1383390890' post='2263913'] Gawd - absolutely love these & you never see them. If I'd been on BC when this was available I'd have pawned all my JapCrap and my Granny for it! Jon. [/quote] Wa hay

[quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1383309219' post='2262924'] Trades? [/quote] Amazing, it appears nobody has asked! Me included

That is all.

I want to sell all my belongings to get this. Oh, the lust. The Status one is not far behind!

Better be quick guys there are bids for it on FEEBay. You will be lucky to get another near this price.

PM's replied thank you. EDIT Sunday 27/10/13, on hold until Friday 1st November.

Thanks chaps (no singing Tom, you know what the police said last time ). Already starting to think I can justify 2 x 75 RI's as this one is so good. Might try the Sonic Blue US Standard jazz instead next week.

As it says, 2007 US , American vintage 75 re issue. Natural, maple neck, maple board, black blocks, black scratch plate. ONLY up for sale because I am now the proud owner of number 167 of the 2002 FSR run of this model in Candy Apple Red One up these Natural AV75RI's on FEEBay at start of £1250. These are now discontinued, well thought of, and liable to be well sought after. Case candy is shown. The scratch plate has been pre drilled for the tug bar and pup cover. THE BODY HASN'T. My eyes nor my fingers can see or feel any dint's etc, but I am sure there must be on a 6 year old, gigged bass. If I could afford to keep it..... . It weighs just under 9lb. NOW £850 collected from Wigan, or will meet up within 50 mile radius of Wigan for no extra charge. Insured courier (address where somebody can sign) will be around £30, mainland UK. Payment by bank transfer, cleared cheque or cash on collection, sorry, no PAINPal. I may consider non UK sale, however you would need to organise your own courier/insurance. Sorry but no trades or offers. Anybody welcome to come and try it. My feedback is linked at bottom of post. Couple more links to help your research. Cheers, Karl.
