kevbass Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have no clue when it comes to status bass guitars, but is this a very early status? or a crude home made job with status components thrown in it?

OutToPlayJazz Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yes, that's what it looks like. The body certainly isn't Status & Rob Green would never let even one of the older wooden necks out of the factory looking like that. Perhaps the Status bridge, tuners & pickups would be worth salvaging, but this is definitely not a real Status bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alun Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hmm, well if you need half a Status bridge and a string retainer..... bleeurgh no, it's no good - I can't be positive about it. Tis horrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
