I bought this on ebay in 2015. I've had fun playing it, but never gigged it. The graphite neck and frets feel great and can be set up for super-low action. Current price for a new B-2 from Status Graphite (U.K.) is about $3,600, plus shipping and import tax.
No trades because I already have too many toys. Thanks for looking!
From the Status Graphite web site:
The B-2 retains much of the design innovation seen in the original instrument designed by John Entwistle. The use of graphite composites and powerful active electronics are still at the heart of this bass. The body shape may have been "tamed" slightly and the graphite neck bolts on to a gloss black alder body, but the fundamentals are still well in evidence. The strikingly contoured body shape houses a custom-made active circuit which allows a vast amount of control over the tone of the bass. Status Hyperactive pickups power a two band E.Q. with the addition of a variable midrange frequency sweep control which continually boosts between 200Hz and 10KHz. The unique construction of this instrument and the sophisticated circuitry contained within it ensure that the B-2 sounds as powerful as it looks.
