[quote name='CS2' post='1338452' date='Aug 13 2011, 09:20 AM']They made these basses from approx 88-89 to 90-91. It was succeeded by the 4000 which was the same but had a composite body instead of cherry, walnut or mahogany. I bought one new in April 1989 and it was serial number 053 (it was walnut). Great basses. Useless information-the active circuit has a preset eq like a gull wing graphic curve and the tone control actually cuts treble. The tone control is passive and gives the best of both worlds from a Jaco type muted sound to a bright slap sound from one control. I'm missing mine now so bye.[/quote] thanks for the information,I always liked the sound of status basses,just can't get into the feel of them.I don't have any guide as to price to ask,I know its not really relevant but can you remember what you paid in 89? cheers.
