Status-Graphite S2-Classic Custom Order 'Black Beauty' w/Red LEDs. - *WITHDRAWN* £3195 Derbyshire, UK (10 mins from M1 J25)

[HeadlessBassist]

** This bass, upon being delivered to Manchester, has now been withdrawn from sale - the current owner is utterly smitten with it and has decided to keep it. Thanks for all your interest!  <<HB>>

 

 

2018 Status-Graphite S2-Classic "Black Beauty" Unique Custom Order in metallic black (yep, you guessed it!) with faux vintage white binding and red wrap-around LEDs.)

 

You may remember that the Status 'Black Beauty' editions were all KingBasses, launched after Mark King's gorgeous black KingBass debuted - Well, this S2-Classic was a unique Custom Order with the same Black Beauty scheme, as well as Mark King's signature 16.5mm string spacing. This bass, [which was ordered by the one original owner who ordered a Black Beauty KingBass at the same time] is as a result, seriously fast to play and sounds utterly amazing. It has that Graphite 'Shimmer' In spades! It has been set up on fresh 30-90 gauge DBE Strings for the full Mark King effect. Uniquely, it doesn't have the usual Board 30(X) Mid Cut/Flat/Boost selector switch. Instead, there's an extra rotary control for Mid Frequency, giving the player even more tonal variations than the standard S2-Classic.

 

There is one very tiny defect in the finish, to the right of the battery covers on the back, but not a chip or gouge. You might spot a small white dot in the pictures. That's it! Otherwise, there are a couple of very small scratches on the lower 'bout, but too small to be picked up by an iPhone camera. All in all, this Bass is in lovely condition for an eight year old Status.

 

Potential buyers are welcome to come and try the bass by appointment. This Status Bass can be viewed and played at either Ashton-under-Lyne (Manchester area), or Derbyshire (10 mins from M1 J25.) Either location is good, and coffee/biscuits are available at no extra cost. We will happily move it between either location. Delivery available for fuel cost, or happy to meet you half way at a distance of roughly up to 140 miles.

 

Interesting trades are welcome towards the cost of this unique instrument.

... and the rest! I recently did a commission sale elsewhere for my KingBass Mk-II. It's eye-wateringly expensive!
