doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) Allo! Due to the acquisition of many new basses, I'm letting my lovely solid colour `ice blue' Status Series 2000 bass go - she does not get much of a look in these days and so she needs to go to a loving home! See piccies further down this thread, seriously interested persons please email me at both: [email protected] and: [email protected] Looking at £1000 plus semi-flight case - this is the only one in the world in this colour!

OutToPlayJazz Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey Nick, you want to put this on Statii.com (if you haven't already!) Sounds like a really nice bass... If you send the pics to [email protected] I'll happily put them up for you on here Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I've played this bass, am having serious difficulty persuading myself not to buy it. It plays flawlessly, classic Status sound, super super low action. 'Ave a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 That's probably as cool a Status as I've ever seen. Unfortunately I have real (and very painful) ergonomic issues with the upper bout of Statii so couldn't go for it if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_of_the_bass Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ped! Two reasons! 1. There's only one bass in that pic...! 2. Female bassists would inundate my Inbox (ooer!) with messages of unrequited love! hehe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
