Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question

Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question
Right, East preamps are great ; I have one of these on an old Jazz Bass and it transformed the sound !I also own a Series I equiped with both EMG pickups and active electronics and it sounds really, really good !!

Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question
If you want to replace the pickups and electronics, as above, you'll get the pickups from Status but consider putting in a John East 3 knob Uni-Pre pre amp. That will give you a much broader control of the tone and they are dead easy to fit, no soldering required. https://www.east-uk.com/

Btw - do you have any pics of the electronics and how they are supposed to look? The inside of mine looks like it was soldered by a tennager at school.
I guess I'll have to upgrade the pickups and the active circuit (which is missing from mine) someday.

You're welcome jmc27 ! ;-)
I'll try to post some pics of the electronics of my S1000 ASAP.
I think the PS1 (Pre-Set 1) active circuits should fit your bass. It can be ordered from the official Status Graphite website, as well as the J type pickups.

Re: What's the best STAND for Streamline???
I have a 4-string Streamline currently under construction, and before it gets here ( in a couple months!) I want to have a nice stand ready for it.I have numerous very nice Hercules triple stands - but they do not work with headless :-)
So I was wondering if any current (or former) Streamline owners could chip in and recommend 'the best stand for Streamline'.
I'm hoping for one of those A-frame typa stands, but a very STURDY one. I did a little scale mockup in Corel and it looks like the stand 'arms" would either have to be five or seven inches apart in order for the bass to be firmly seated.
I used to have a K&M years ago, was wondering if anybody here was using them for Streamline?
Something like https://produkte.k-m.de/en/product?info=1235&xca81f=ce413c3fdb25de5d28d8ab260f3ffc85

Re: S2 VS S3
I’m sure there’s others on here that are more knowledgeable than me, but when I went in to see the guys at Status the main difference for me was the countouring of the body. The s2 has a chamfered top, similar to a traditional Jazz.Responded in S2 VS S3

Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question
It's rare but some of the Washburn S1000 seem to have been produced with rosewood fingerboard, like the one I bought 6 yeras ago. Neck is more stable with rosewood than with phenolic fb, if it helps.

Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question
!00% Washburn. Nice looking bass. Pickups are not original which might go with the pre amp bit.Responded in Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question

Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question
Pictures we need. I have read on the internet (so it must be true) that some composite fingerboards separated a bit from the necks. Might be what's happened to yours. Might not. You're 100% sure it's a Washburn? Pictures would help with all this. Where is the trus rod cover?

Re: Washburn S1000 identity and wiring question
Hello everyone!This week I finally bought the chioldhood bass of my dreams - or near enough. Can't seem to justify buying a proper Status.
So a Washburn S1000 will sufrice!
Anyway - I have a question.
It has a rosewood fingerboard.
Is this normal? i always thought they have a composite fretboard on a wooden neck.
Anyway...
The wiring looks like it has been re-done by someone as there is no PCB in there and the tone control does nothing.
Plus I think the battery has been disconnected there is an un-connected red and black wire.
Anyone have a clue about this?
the serial number is S9106027...
Help me Obi-wan! J

Re: Neck/body connection
Some more pictures.The distance from fretboard to body is 7 mm all round so nothing sticks out or anything.

Has anybody seen this before on a Status (Energy)?https://imgur.com/8aCXfw7
Not used to see this on a Status.
All screws are tight as hell and nothing pulls out or anything...

Just keep playing until either everything works or your bass melts!
My bass doesn't melt, I just warp it a bit
