OutToPlayJazz Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Picked up my new Status yesterday direct from Rob's workshop. Tried a streamliner & the new T-bass as well. Both excellent basses (as you'd expect!) ...and with it's new family (Triumph upright is in it's case to the left...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite fancy trying the Streamliner but I've bene told point blank if I buy one I'll be fired from the function band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7string Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Geez, there's not a gig you couldn't cover with those basses !! Many congrats !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks for the comments, guys! Just ordered another Status as well, so that'll be arriving soon Merton, I was quite taken with the T-Bass, but it's really like a jazz with serious attitude! I've actually ordered a 4-string version of my recently sold KingBass. Will be same wood & electronics as my S2, just with bendwell & 32-inch scale. Also buying the "BassChat Status whore" in about a week... (The Energy Artist 5 with the added graphite neck that's been owned by almost everyone on this server!)

stingrayfan Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Very nice Status. Roughly what does it costs to get one of these made please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 List on an S2 like this is £1750. KingBass to similar specs, with or without the 32 inch scale & bendwell is a little more at £1799. Depends if you want a lot of options added like LEDs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I just love the bridge / tailpiece area. Looks like pistons powering some kind of massive artillery. Or something. lovely bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha-Dave Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That is very nice, I do like Rob's work a lot! ... although I'm still far more jealous of your triumph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
