Thanks mate! The fact is, that I specifically want a HEADLESS Status. Although this headed one is very nice indeed. Keep me posted if you see a Status with its head chopped off! |

Have just checked the 2 Status out. As an ex-employee i can vouch that the series II is a V early 90's, the other from much later. The series II has the 2 band eq, the other a 3 band, so the choice is yours. You really don't see too many of these headless basses these days do you? Good luck John with your search.. |

The early status basses were truly outstanding basses! Theres not a lot on the market better than these things if you like graphite! |

Hey uncle jay have you seen the Status 3000 on e-bay? Going cheap but don't think much of the cherry laminates! :-( |

Hi uncle jay, Just wondering if you had any luck finding a Status bass yet?.I have a Series 2000 s/n 250 which I may have to part with thanks to the fickle (middle) finger of fate.Feel free to contact me either here or privately if you might be interested. I should tell you the bass had taken some scratches before I became the owner and I still feel I paid over the odds considering this,but I was desperate to get it as it had the perfect sound for the music I was involved in at the time. Anyway if the bass may be of interest to you please contact me. Best Wishes to you, Simon. |
