[quote name='BassBus' post='363028' date='Dec 24 2008, 06:55 PM']You just can't beat a good Status bass. That is so simple but so beautiful. Lucky boy. [/quote] For me it is definitely the case that you cannot beat a Status bass! I just keep coming back to them and this time I won't be letting it go! It has such a useable bridge pickup sound, perfect for burpy finger funk!

[quote name='Stan_da_man' post='362837' date='Dec 24 2008, 02:49 PM']Ha ha! I have the exact same bass - only difference is it's bolt on and the graphite section running though it finishes just after the neck.[/quote] That makes your a Status Matrix Energy then, IIRC. There was that, the Status Matrix Series I+II's and then the top of the line Matrix Empathy model.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='362799' date='Dec 24 2008, 02:09 PM']Looks like a nice bass. I always thought those carbon-graphite necks looked so cool but never had da noive to go for it with my StingRay.[/quote] I hear a lot of people really like Status necks on Stingrays. If I had a Stingray I'd go for one right away. Not just for the sonic benefits but because a graphite neck gives me a peace of mind that wood just doesn't!

IMO this constitutes material that will "corrupt and deprave". But it's a lovely looking bass, so feel free to peruse these pictures and add to your Status GAS! A couple of these are taken by the previous owner, but they're nice pictures so I'll include them here! It feels so good to be back in the Status club, long may I stay here! Merry Christmas!

Not another bloody rip-off merchant operating via basschat. It's a shame, I've had nothing buy good experiences buying and selling here!

[quote name='Wil' post='96062' date='Nov 29 2007, 11:44 AM']I guess a lot of people can't get over quite how uncool Mark King made them look, though![/quote] Don't be daft, Mark King using high-slung headless basses is about as cool as it gets. Mind you, he also looks as cool as owt with his headed basses. I noticed this year though that he looked like a dwarf when he was playing the Kingbass MK II! I'm not just sure if thats because I first saw him using a headless Kingbass though!

Mike bought my Spector Zebop from me. An absolute pleasure to deal with at all stages. Very helpful (my first sale by bank transfer!), with excellent communication. I mean, he let me ring him at 11PM to discuss the sale! I cannot say more than that I wholeheartedly recommend Mike as a top bloke to do business with.

Reuel's bass travel plan. (Shipping has now been paid for!)

Glad to see the bass has made it out of his hands. Just for everyone giving it the "he's 19, he will learn" stuff, to hell with that. I'm not much older, and was a student myself once. I've done loads of buying and selling here and met loads of good guys doing so. I just sold my Spector this week, the nicest bass i have ever played. It's a lot to give up, but not for a second did I think about ripping off the guy who bought it. Being young is no excuse for a lack of moral fibre. Also, with regards to the money, Jake, get a job, grow a pair and give these people back their money. Lord knows they don't work hard to pay for your mistakes. I think throughout this episode you've shown yourself to be a cowardly little cretin, and your "apology" was a last ditch at not getting collared by the law. I hope one day you will really appreciate the grief you have caused. -

[quote name='leschirons' post='339246' date='Nov 28 2008, 09:03 AM']Ooh, bit anti-French here. No-one seems to have mentioned Noguera basses (exceptional and great value) or Alain Caron. Don't know many Brit players that could could cope with a Mike Stern tour. Before anyone replys to tell me he doesn't count as he's French Canadian, they still class him as a French national treasure here.[/quote] Was gonna say, Referee, he's Canadian! -

Lots of interest so far so, so this should be of benefit. There are several guys interested in this bass (thanks for the interest and the PM's guys!) some who are willing to collect, some who are willing to pay for a hardcase and arrange postage. While I am giving some weight to the chronological order in which I have received PM's from interested parties, I should note that I'm waiting to hear from a couple of guys who are trying to arrange to collect the bass. Obviously, sale by collection is easier for me but if someone meets my asking price for the bass and a case and is willing to arrange a courier, I will be happy to go down that route. I say this because I've had a couple of offers slightly below my asking price for the bass+hardcase. I've really slashed the price down on this bass and it's a fantastic deal as it is. So like I say, thanks for all the interest guys, the sale is still wide open! Parties who are arranging collection, it would be great if you could all get back to me and let me know whats happening. Obviously, if more than one person confirms that they can come and get it and give me a prospective time and date for collection, then I will have to sell the bass to the first person to confirm in the interests of fairness! Thanks again for looking guys! I'm getting a real last good go on this bass now before it goes, with the preamp set flat it growls like an angry dog, and I've never had another bass that did that! It also has an amazing tone when you play it with a pick, I kinda regret not doing that more when I've been in my Anthony Jackson moods!

Believe me, there will be copious amounts of pictures! It's "natural" at the minute with a lovely walnut body, but in a couple of years I might see if Rob will refinish it in the opaque bright yellow colour he used to do, aka the Curtis Custard colour! And of course at some point there will be more Spector basses...although maybe not for a while since the prices recently went up so much!

Yes, I do prefer this one to the Stealth! Obviously I miss the Stealth but this is better for me in a number of ways. It's lighter, and takes well to being worn high (which is how I like it). Obviously they're both amazing basses, but I find the neck of the Spector more comfortable (a "C" Profile versus a very pronounced and flat "D" shape). The main problem I had with the Stealth was the fact it was a 6 string. After I got the Spector, it just wasn't getting much of a look in, and I couldn't afford at the time to have £750 of bass sitting in my room for whevener I might need a 6 string! As it happens, I've just got back into the Status fold (more on that later) with a 4 string, which is much more "my thing", but I'd have the Stealth back in a second, it was an amazing bass! Also, all PM's replied to. Thanks again to the guys who have offered trades, you've got some lovely basses there, but now that I've got to pay off a Status Graphite bass and a trip to Greece next year, funds are a bit tight! As it happens though, someone is going to get an amazing bass for a steal of a price. A new Squier is only a few quid cheaper, and they are worlds apart in terms of quality! (and I love Squier basses, I've had 2!)

Thanks for the endorsement Cetera, given that you're a bit of a Spector afficionado, it carries a lot of weight! Anyone interested, PM me with your phone number and I'll ring you and we'll have a chat. Given that the sale of this bass is no longer urgent but still preferable, I'm willing to hang onto it for a while if a prospective buyer needs to raise cash/get a paycheque etc etc. All circumstances considered!

Okay guys, I can't get hold of a cardboard box to ship the bass in, but if you're willing to pay the cost for a hardcase and shipping, it is now available shipped anywhere in the UK. As I say, if you are willing to pay for the case and to arrange shipping this bass is available at it's asking price shipped.
