Status Empathy 5 1997 - *SOLD* £2250 London & Norfolk

[basslondon]

Back again after sale fell through…..

 

Sad to see this go after so many years. I just don’t play it enough to warrant keeping such a lovely beast in captivity.

 

There is a small chunk at the top of the neck ( pictured) and a small bash on the neck ( pictured) along with a couple of marks on the lower body ( pictured)  but in the main in fabulous condition for a 25 year old instrument. Electrically no issues comes with the standard Status monogrammed Hiscox  case. Sounds thunderous but alas not my instrument of choice any more. Any queries don’t hesitate to shoot me a message. Available for collection in London weekdays and some weekends of at my home in Kings Lynn most weekends. I will courier but really at this level you don’t wanna be chancing such a beauty to the postman!

 

Cash is king but will consider interesting part ex ( USA /Japanese Precision or similar is Favourite) up to half the value.

Looks like 19mm to me but I could be wrong as other models ive seen online tend to be 18mm

Also, sorry to be pedantic, how deep is the hole on the neck Please? Am guessing this looks like is on the underside around 15th ish fret and probably be remedied with some skilful epoxy repair - thanks

No problem Steve. It’s a superficial bash so it’s more of a cracking of the surface than a hole. I certainly don’t notice it when I play which is why I never got it repaired. It hasn’t gotten any worse in the past 10 years that I’ve owned it( it was like that when I purchased it ) But I’m sure a little bit of epoxy would sort it out. See the pic for spacing info. I think it’s 17/18 mm. it’s a £1 tape measure from wilko so allow for that!

 

I came from playing a Precision bass and had no problem adapting
