[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]Here are the specifications :[/font][/size]

[u][size=5][b][font=times new roman,times,serif]KingBass Black Beauty[/font][/b][/size][/u]

[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]The KingBass Black Beauty has classic good looks.[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]A superb gloss black lacquer is applied to the body but a natural wood maple / alder 'binding' is left exposed around the edges.
When combined with the contrasting gold hardware, the overall effect is stunning.

The graphite through-neck is set into a solid alder body which has an arched top.
A maple facing is bonded to the front face leaving the two-piece faux binding on the outer edge of the body.[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]The regular specifications of the Black Beauty includes two Status soap-bar pickups, which power a 2-band EQ with variable frequency midrange and cut/flat/boost switch (18 Volts with 2 new Duracell batteries included in the case).

Individual mono-rail bridge / tuners are fitted and, in combination with our unique string retainer, both single and double-ball strings can be used.[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]This headless Status bass has the [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/bendwell.html"]"BendWell"[/url] as a custom option. This is a medium (32") scale fingerboard with a scooped recess behind the top-nut which allows string bending and vibrato effects.

Both the BendWell and 16.5mm string spacing are exactly as requested by Mark King on all his instruments and the action is 1.5 mm under the E string at 12th fret !!![/font][/size]

[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]Supplied in a moulded Status hard.[/font][/size]
[size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]The entire instrument is finished in high-gloss polyester lacquer and has gold hardware as standard.[/font][/size]

[color=#ff0000][u][b][size=4][font=times new roman,times,serif]NO LEDS ![/font][/size][/b][/u][/color]

Ain't it always the way!! When you're looking for something you can't find it...when you spend the money on something else it's guaranteed to come up.

Lovely looking Bass, should be around too long. If you haven't already, put it on the Statii.co.uk forum.

It's called Murphy's law over here.

I completely forgot Statii.com... : thanks for the reminder.

And I found the good Hiscox case marked "Status" along with some documents and the screws for standard strings, all inside the original cardboard box in the attic.

The case pictured on most photographs is the one for my white JayDee Supernatural.

Now, the first picture is with the right case as are the two last ones.

This bass has an incredible organic/acoustic feeling for a graphite neck !
(I tried at Hellzero's house)
The boost/cut switch for the mid is very convenient.
Nice design, classy finish, lot of fun with the bendwell.
The King MARK Bass !
