BassBus Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Love the face on the jazz. The nut looks quite wide for a jazz neck. Might just be the picture. Nice clean lines on the S2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nice bass. Centre tone blocks are usually walnut with wings made from mahogany. There are sometimes other woods used. The front and back look like either rosewood or cocobolo. you could try posting this on Statii.com. There are members there who know a whole lot more about these than I do.

BassBus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Unfortunately that's par for the course in forums these days. There was a lot of trouble with spam ads purporting to be Status owners last year so that action has had to be taken. It'll be worth the wait. Well, I hope you think it is.

martthebass Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This is not good for my Status GAS. Basses come and go but my Streamline is a constant. Now what can I sell to buy a Stealth 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1328302664' post='1525347'] Aha! You didn't say "No" though, did you? There's no stopping me now I have this photo-bucket business sorted out! I can see why people have problems with it, but it's quite easy once you've done it a few times. I had the same problem with making ringtones for my iPhone, but I do it without thinking about now, even after the crafty gits at Apple interfered. [/quote] No I didn't say no....I've tried a few times to acquire a great quality Stealth 2 but so far not managed it. I just find the 'monooque' Status basses so easy to play and they never need adjusting once set up. Still not sorted how to post pics on new BC - still its stopped me trading and selling too much!

EBS_freak Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) My Status necked jazz. Cool bass but being a four... It doesn't get much of a look in, I tend to stick to fives! It's a nice instrument though and with the matt finish on the back of the neck, it looks (the weave looks awesome in satin) and feels great. Bartolini pickups, Hipshot hardware... through strung. Pretty cool. Does a mean Marcus impersonation - even when passive, like it currently is. Edited February 9, 2012 by EBS_freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It reminds me of the Mark King Fender jazz basses. Only better, without the woefully bendy necks and shoddy fretwork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hearsay, though I recall seeing some Level 42 board posts from MK diehards who had ordered them from Fender (lucky as it was a very limited run) and found them to be pretty lacklustre in their build. Tellingly, Mark used them for about 5 minutes and then went onto those GB basses, which sounded crap in fairness. (the Ohne Filtre DVD showcases this dire tone).
