Well that one fell in the right hands!

 

Wish I had technique like that.  Embarrassed to own nice basses now.

Haha thank you, I feel the same way when i see other bassists... i just remember that i own these expensive instruments for my own reasons...

when i was a full time musician many years ago my only bass was a second hand yamaha trb that cost £200 on ebay... now I am working in a 'proper' job i own a few expensive instruments that hardly get played.

Just checked out the Status website, are they back to -  business as usual? Can't see any notices that regular orders are on hold?


Looks like the latest news item alludes to the 40th anniversary bass that was somewhat suggested (albeit cryptically) in Rob’s original retirement message.

 

I wonder whether they’re purely in a holding pattern to put those out as a limited run, and then who knows. 
 

Si

Maybe the trick is the 40th anniversary is a limited edition limited to 40000 units!

It would be a dream if they were. 

I haven't had any replies from Rob when enquiring about ordering a new S2 Classic bass... that could be a good sign, maybe they will make an announcement in the future... but could be he's just tired of replying to new build requests haha

Another bass sample, this time with some slap and finger style bass playing... 

 

Controls are

 

Bass: 60%

Treble: 50%

Pan: Middle for slap, back pickup for finger style

 

 

fantastic technique ...but sounds more like soloing over somebody trying to tune up.

Wow, such a great build. Did you commission and select the woods? What was the reason for selling the bass if you don't mind me asking?

I'm not sure who first commissioned the bass (maybe @Luc?) Why did I sell it? I claim it was temporary insanity 🤣 At the time I was lucky enough to have about 11 high end basses of which my Smith and Wal were getting most of the playtime and I felt I should be sensible and thin the herd a bit. I've had another S2 since and keep looking at adverts for others........you know how it goes. 😁
