Status GP Graphite-necked Bass with Status branded Hiscox Case. £1195.00 - *SOLD* £1195 Bruton, South West Somerset

[yorks5stringer]

Thinning out the herd so I am reluctantly letting my Status go as it is just gathering dust as I continue bandless.

This is a lightly factory-worn finish with a few dings and scrapes, not entirely sure which are factory made. I love PJ configurations and especially Telecaster type bodies too!

The neck as you would expect is unblemished save a couple of tiny chips at the very top headstock edge and virtually unnoticeable.

 

The spec. from Status is as follows:

 

Alder semi-solid body with maple top
'Slab' style body with 'F-hole'
High gloss lacquer to neck and body
Woven graphite neck with phenolic fingerboard  with 19mm string spacing
J width neck : 4-string only available
Active John East 4-band EQ with master volume and pickup balance (retro fitted) and  offers  passive or active function.
18 volt battery supply
Hum-cancelling P / J pickups
Side jack socket
Chrome hardware
Black, clear, white and tort pickguards (I had the latter 3 guards made)

Weight 4.5 k

 

The Bass plays either passive or active and has a slap bass function by pulling the stacked knob upwards too, obviously this has been only lightly used! Playing it has typical PJ tones with a large dollup of the Status sound too. Comes with the original undamaged Status branded Hiscox case and 2 keys.

 

Last time I looked these were over £2700 new and obviously they are virtually unobtainable currently. I understand this was ordered new by James Stelfox from Starsailor (for those who care). PM or post if you need more Info.

Hello. 

 

Just sent a PM

I was guardian of this fabulous bass for a good while. Hmm.

Looks like it's gone, someone is going to get very lucky.

I had this bass for a while too, hope it finds a good home. It was a lovely instrument but a little too heavy for me. Whenever it crops up I’m tempted! GLWTS

Andy Travis had it too, it sounds fantastic.
