FS/FT Status S2 Classic 6 string

**Mulebagger** · #1 04-05-2011, 12:27 PM

Hi Folks,
I bought this bass new last summer from Beaver at Bass Central. It is a beautiful bass, but for my style of finger picking, my fingers hit the vol and pan knobs. SO, rather than modify this killer bass, I'm going to sell or trade for the right Modulus or Zon 6 string. I'm open to other trades.

Outright sale: $2600Trades, mostly interested in Modulus or Zon but willing to listen to offers.

Specs:
woven carbon fiber bolt-on neck 34 3/4 inch scale
24 fret, dual trussrod, 18mm spacing
wide response pickups and 303 Preamp with treble, bass, and variable mid. 18 volt

Body has a flame-spalted maple top with a satin finish
the body wings are mahogany and the tone block walnut. There is a fine pinstrip of blueish wood between the top and the wings.

Plays very well.
The neck is faster and thinner (front to back) than my Q6was. More like a flattened D shape. Balances well, and is of average weight.

Tonally, this bass can sound like a 10' grand piano or a burpy jazz. The electronics are among the most flexible of any I've used. The B is on par with my Q6. It has a bit more aggresive character.

Comes with Hiscox flight case and case candy.
Very low usage. Could pass for new. Feel free to ask any questions.
Thanks,
Derrick

Any interest in a Stambaugh Single-Cut 8 string or a Low End Jazz 7 string?

Good luck on the sale/trade.

Yo man, that bass is broke! You need to quit front'n and get a KL! Come back the the woodlands baby! Ha! JK. To everyone out there interested, I know this guy and the bass. The bass is immaculate and the guy is on the up and up!

HA! In an effort to please Freakybass, I'll open up my trade options to the usual wooden neck suspects

LEJ, Sadowsky, Valenti, Lull, and yes... even Ken Lawrence basses

But Freaky, when the weather changes I'm coming over and you are gonna do my setup for me

Hi There,

What is the weight of this beauty?

I may be very interested. Also is this your bottom dollar price? If there is any wiggle room, you may have an instant sale.

Thanks,

Stan

Hey Stan,

It looks like 10.4 lbs on my digital scale. I've sent you a PM as well.

If Thor played a bass it most likely would be this one bump.

hip hop and a bump

2 for 1:
I know it's a long shot but I have an Status Empathy 6 string fretless that I'd trade along with my S2 for a Fodera. I'm not interested in any single cuts. I had a Fodera years ago and I'd like another taste of one.

It's a chance to have two sweet 6ers for one bass.

I'm also interested in 5 string Zon, Modulus, etc. for trade for the S2. It would have to be even swap or cash on your end if the values are different.

Crazy long shot trade here: Zon Sonus fretless 5, with all black parts, unlined, 3 band pre, mid frequency switch, and simply unbelievable tone.

You listed Zon as trade potential.

**Mulebagger** · #11 06-11-2011, 03:46 PM

Hey Fretster that is a nice looking Zon, but I've got my fretless needs covered. Thanks for the offer though.
