Where do they keep the nuclear wessels?

Status recently updated their website and apparently going to continue to do so. It's about time - their site looks like it was put together in the early nineties.

Big fan of Status basses, absolutely brilliant instruments. I also have huge respect for Rob Green and the way he runs his company. Very quick with responses to email and he does it all personally.

I bought a replacement neck for a Stingray with LEDs, and after a while one of the LED's started only working intermittently. Status repaired the neck, and also threw in 5 free sets of strings with the neck when they shipped it back to me. If I was in the market for a new bass, a 5 string King Bass would be very high on my list.

I've put my wonderful S2 up for sale:

Not sure if I really want to sell it, but I sure could use the money to fund my next order!

Okay, what would you think about a Vintage Warwick Thumb NT with Status HyperActive Pickups and a 303 Preamp?

What does the Little Toggle Switch do on these basses? I have a Warwick Thumb with Status "Gutz". This switch does AMAZING things to the tone, but I'd like to know exactly what it is doing. I'll check the Status WebPage as well....

I've been a Status afficianado since 1990. I've owned loads of them and only had two weeks without one around. Not a good feeling!

Here's the current crop...
2007 S2-Classic in walnut/mahogany

1990 Series 2 in cocobolo/cherry

2008 S2-Classic bolt-on 5 in cocobolo/mahogany with phenowood board

2008 Streamline

2008 S2-Classic 5 in myrtlewood/mahogany

My bass in "Performing Musician Magazine"

The official Status-Graphite pic...

An ex-girlfriend of mine was pretty obsessed with status. Needless to say, that one didn't last very long.

Joking aside, I miss graphite. I could easily see myself with some stuff of theirs.

What does the Little Toggle Switch do on these basses?

Per my Kingbass - the switch is for the Mid control. The knob provides frequency selection. The 3 position toggle is flat (no boost/cut) in the middle position, 6dB boost down position, 6dB cut in the up position (or whatever your relative installation ended up being).

Very Cool! That makes sense, considering the effect the switch seems to have. I'm usually Boosted or Neutral

Horny Toad. Thats really really nice status you got there. The green led fretboard markers really add a nice extra to its wonderful wood grain tone too imo.

I had two gripes with it: it was heavy, and I mean really heavy; about 14LBs. and I thought that the huge tri-max pickup should have had some coil splitting options.

Thats odd. My groove bass is the lightest bass that I have. I suppose I must just like heavy basses.

I am growing to like mine more and more.

Some more recent pics of my lot... I sold #538 in the end due to lack of use. I have a strict rule that if a bass isn't earning me money it has to go. The original Streamline #006 was sold to a friend and I bought another one with white front and side LED's. Happy days

 

[Kipaste]

Here's mine...

I was really hoping to see one of these in the topic. I had the 5er too, stupidly sold it. It's the definition of underrated bass. Really solid, nice tone.

 

[Morfman6]

These basses are awesome looking!

Still searching for someone in the NOVA/MD/DC area with a 5er that would let me check out......offer still stands: Pizza and beer on me

 

[john keates]

Those look like Rotosound strings on that groove bass. I put Elixirs on mine and it has lost something it had when I bought it. Does anyone have some string recomendations?

 

[Osprey]

I bought my Status when it was nearly 20 years old: the graphite neck is the flattest, cleanest neck to play I've ever had and the sound (on what was an entry-level instrument at the time) is always clear but can be warm or bright, gentle or thunderous. What a find!
