If you've got it bad, then post here. It will help you to cope. Honestly it will.

I know that this won't help you at all, but I played a bass almost identical to that at the London Bass Guitar Show and it was beautiful and smooth. Had an incredible voice as well. Those Status basses are really unique sounding :)
 
What is it about the Status? The light-up fretboard inlays? Billy Sheehan has those... I think they're cool but not my thang. I do love that blue/green finish, though.

Here's mine:

An Epiphone Viola. What a boring, conservative choice, right? I can't help it, though. I like the way that hollow body moves me and it's got a really cool style, I think.
 
Well, if you order another one, send me this one. It's one of my dreams, to once own a Rob Allen. And I've had 2 of those dreams before: a Celinder and a vintage Fender. I always thought "ah I can never ever afford them", but I own both now so who knows in the future...?
