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

[HeadlessBassist]

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. The bass is currently located in Derbyshire, ten mins from M1 J25. Happy to deliver, or meet you half way up to 140 miles from DE7.

 

Trades 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!

I'm very sorry you feel this way @Stratty42, but you were clearly told the ballpark figure you would be offered for the bass, and my estimate was about right, which you duly accepted and agreed to the sale with it's current owner. I only introduced the sale of the bass in order to help you out in your current situation, and drove the 280 mile round trip yesterday to collect it at my own expense. You will also recall that last night when I realised you had seller's remorse, I offered to return the bass to you directly at no cost to yourself, which you declined, remarking that you 'needed the money'.  Sadly, we can't have things both ways. The offer to undo the deal still stands, but the bass will be going to Manchester on Sunday morning and will be out of my hands. Please let me know. I can only do my best for people. I will also publicly state that if I was offered any profits from the sale of this bass, I would forward them straight back to you out of kindness for someone I consider a friend.
