steve-soar Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Headless basses are cool. I've just got a Status S2 Classic neck through and it's everything they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm sorry to bring this old thread back up to the top again, but I have a little question about my own Status 2000. Not directly about strings, though: Is it possible to intonate this bass? And if it is - where do I then adjust it? To me it looks like, I can only adjust the height of the strings at the "bridge", but especially the tone on 24th fret is a bit flat compared to the flashiolet.

There's probably a small allen screw locking the saddles in position somewhere that needs loosening, make your adjustment and then tighten again. If you don't get a definitive answer here you could try the [url="http://www.statii.com/"]http://www.statii.com/[/url] site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 There are two small allen screws on the top side of the bridge. Loosen these and the individual saddles can be raised, lowered and slid backwards and forwards. ... On mine anyway! Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thank you both very much! I found the two screws and managed to adjust the intonation and height of the strings (after fumbling around a bit), and it is now playing like a dream!
