I was working in a music shop/sound company in Pompey and picked up a fretless S2000 in that beautiful petrol blue colour,(#120). It's fantastic and I used it on a Jim Diamond album. I had a Wal at the time, but every fretted S2000 sounded fantastic, (I was also working as a sound engineer at the time too). I took the bass to Rob to see about having it fretted. After he played it, he remarked what a peach it was, with a very slim neck and how rare it was. The decision was made to buy another Status, right there and then. I was extremely lucky to be able to put a deposit on Rob's Empathy (#004), that he had built and was in the process of going to all of the World's music fares. After a few weeks and the bass finishing its 'tour', I went to pick it up and also pick up the fretless, (which had the brass re-finshed). A few years after that I also purchased an SII, 5 string, headed, from the Essex area, that was built by Rob for his dentist!!! The bass had been used on Anny Lennox's Album. I sold it around 8 years ago. I'll post pictures one day, along with the other guitars I seem to be acquiring.

I have a bracket on the way to me. I emailed Jason Burns (formerly with King), and got a reply shortly after - he had one lying around! He has sent it to me within a few hours of contacting him. This is the service that King could have been capable of and I am certain Jason's new ventures will have this outlook and care for their customers. Keep your eyes out for anything new he comes up with and support his efforts.

I am and will do, Thanks.

Hey everybody - I have a Slap King in Midnight Burst with the deluxe tailpiece. I also managed to get a Dolls Head pick-up before the company went down, (massive thanks to Jason for this); but I need to know how they fix the jack socket behind the tailpiece. Can anybody help please? Thank you.
