NOW SOLD
 

REDUCED! Now £1400!!
 

Here’s my 1992 Status Energy Matrix. 
Woven graphite bolt-on neck. 
Phenolic ‘board. 
Walnut body with original black finish checking all over. The usual dings associated with a 30-odd year old instrument. 
Updated with EMG active pickups with EMG BTC 2-band preamp, plus a Babicz FCH bridge. 
Original Hyperactive pickups and preamp will be included. Also the original brass bridge but this has seen better days. 
Comes with original Status branded Hiscox case. 
Come and try it out - I’m located 5 minutes from M1 J29. 

I am willing to courier this but at buyer’s expense and arrangement. 
 

Cheers!!

Sam

I have one in natural, the original preamp is one of Rob’s favourites. I love mine. Great neck, never moves. Sounds so good and cuts through any mix. GLWTS.

Love a graphite neck. The checking looks like a deliberate effect as well - lovely

Man, I had two of those.

Should never have sold them when they were deeply unpopular!

The preamp has TB5 etched on the PCB. I have no idea if this is relevant 😂.

TB5 is the upgraded Factory Status Pre amp replacement as the original Pre's were the weak link on these basses.
