I missed the option to buy this bass from the original thread, and was bummed, because it's almost identical to my main bass and I wanted a backup. I posted on the thread that I'd be interested if the person who bought it ever decided to let it go. And that's what happened. I worked a deal to buy the bass from him, and he was gracious and accommodating. Shipped it quick, packed it very well, and I'm very pleased to have received the bass in excellent condition. Top marks all around!
Thank you very much for this very nice bass. Everything is as you stated. It has quickly become my #1 bass and my Status Stealth 6 will be up for sale in a few weeks.
I really appreciated your patience in answering my questions.
