Details

After getting my Status #103 and realizing how different they are I really wanted to keep this, but I just can't!

So here she is, the warrior bass, plenty of scars all over but no structural damages so she plays fantastic, one of the best basses I ever had. Currently mounting Status Hotwires rounds 35-95, low action and no buzzing. Included is an non original guitar hard case, fits the bass just right.

Price is $1200 (which reflects the non mint conditions) including shipping in US.

Pictures and more details coming tonight...

PM me if you want a detail picture of all the scratches.

The top wood is a very dark sexy rosewood (looks black with low lights) and body is american cherry.
Controls are Vol, Pan, Bass, Treble, frets are in very good shape, neck straight (crucial with graphite and no truss rod!).

On the neck there's a chip, basically what came off are the many layers of polyurethane that protect the graphite. You can actually see the graphite and the phenolic fingerboard junction but there is no structural damage to neck itself, it's just the finish that came off.

You know I've been thinking about your Roadie, I have an S1 which cost me an arm and a leg but is the most beautiful and unique JD I've ever seen, the dream of my teenage.
Problem is that is too much money invested in a single bass and financially I've seen better times so I was thinking to shift mine to buy a cheaper one. But I don't know if I will ever find the courage to sell mine :crying:

You're tempting me, but I have a bass "out for delivery" on a FedEx truck and can't stretch too much before I sell my Status. Why don't you pm me your best price, if you have one?

I'm looking into fixing professionally that chip on the top edge of the neck, if I do the price will NOT change.
Stay tuned.
