Looks like a type of John “Rhino” Edwards signature bass. Bassist/singer with Status Quo. Likely a discontinued model. If you search with this information you’ll find plenty of results.

 

Exactly.it’s a John “ Rhino” signature model.

looks like a S-2 classic with a rhino horn inlay
I don’t know if the neck is different from std.
I doubt it.
I’ve played lots of status but not this one.
I’m sure it sounds and plays awesome because all status bases do .


P.s. I just checked the website and the pickups are custom wound to be voiced slightly differently from std.

That’s the main difference between a charger and an S2
It’ll be amazing I’m sure

Yeah the Rhino was John Edwards's signature. Very iconic tone for the band. I wasn't aware of the existence of a version 2. Likely a rare instrument. Rob Green answers emails by himself usually he should be able to give you info.
