Hey, where in Texas are you? If you make it over to Houston I can let you try out that Status.

Dude, thanks a lot! That's really kind from you. Unfortunately, my brother is the one who lives in Fort Worth, so whenever I need something that I cannot get here in Mexico, I have it sent to him and then he brings it down coz he comes back home 3 o 4 times a year... but thanks anyway! Level 42 is playing 9 miles away from here tonight, that might be my only chance to listen to a status in real life!

I'll definitely look there!

Oh S$%*T I'm going to get it here...Well I am in Love with Status basses but it is a unique sound and response being graphite....Just happen to love it, I have had more basses than I can remember through the years, hah!, I used to buys 70's Jazz basses for $350-400 bucks a pop....(Wished I had them now i could retire!) Anyway like Alembics, Status are a special breed (I have a Series one 5-string that I had Mica make me at Alembic and nothing else sounds like an Alembic), that being said there are now so many great choices in "Boutique" basses, one is not enough! I say sell the house and the car and go buy more basses!

I'm with you BCondabass. I own a Mark King Signature Series Status bass. 4 string headless with neck thru graphite neck. Its a killer bass and one I like to play when my peers are around. Its a great bass to hold and the EQ can twist me from low end blues, to middle of the road Jazz and up to some killer slaps.

Definitely the Status. yeah definitely. Make mine a headless 6 Mockingbird, Blue and Red LEDS. I will never be able to play it publicly having to deny its existence, like a stolen Picasso.

I own a Status Energy Artist 6 string. Never owned a Dingwall, but have played them before. Based on my experience, I would go for the Dingwall. Super P, specifically.
