Steve_K Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) Selling my Electro. made by Status Graphite 4 string Mahogany back, maple top Piezo pickup in the bridge - though good slap sounds can be produced. Semi-hollow bodied. Very light. Open to offers or trades - nothing Warwick, Fender or Fender-esque though. Price-wise, I have seen the 5 string fretted version for sale in and around the £800 mark, I would be looking around £500 for this.

tredders Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 That looks really nice (and I'm not usually a big fan of Status basses). What does it sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_K Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well, quite a bight tone usually - I can get a good slap sound out of it with a bit of EQ on the amp end of things, roll back the tone and it's quite pounding - put on some nylon wrapped strings and it can sound more 'URB' though. Not as versatile as the normal Status basses, but still got a good range of tones in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBeatNut Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 [quote name='Steve_K' post='35781' date='Jul 23 2007, 01:13 AM']Well, quite a bight tone usually - I can get a good slap sound out of it with a bit of EQ on the amp end of things, roll back the tone and it's quite pounding - put on some nylon wrapped strings and it can sound more 'URB' though.

While nothing (IMHO) is ever going to sound like a URB except a real URB, my electro makes a pretty nice substitute. Steve's fretted 4 should be a nice sounding bass.

Matte_black Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm literally fighting against myself to NOT buy the bass, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I know this is going to be pretty vague, and i apologise if its an unanswerable question! But id guess with the Piezo you could get a really REALLY punchy sound? or am i just being steriotypical? I could do with something that just has nothing but punch as im playing a lot of drum and bass. Thanks! Ste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_K Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 >> Matte_Black Go on, you know you want to. >> Ste_m3 Depends what you mean... For example, I get on better with the slap tone from this than I have from ANY Fender I've played, though if you want Mark King slap tone - get a King Bass.

Matte_black Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I always wanted to try an Electro... it's a shame I'll probably never see one around if I don't buy it. Oh well, it's pretty much what happens with every decent axe available on the market. Steve, waiting for a shipping quote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have an electro which I like hugely but which I may need to sell on to part finance a new custom built Roscoe four string I've got in the pipeline. I have a few theatre type "production" shows coming up in late September and I think my Electro will be perfect for a few of those numbers so I plan on keeping it until afterwards but keep in touch coz it's almost certain that I'll want to let it go after that. Edit: Just read your post in context of whole thread - hope that you manage to arrange to get Steve's. Not trying to gazump him or highjack his thread. Apologies if I gave that impression. cheers scoop. Edited August 23, 2007 by Scoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
