I had one, serial # 69... It was finished in 1989 on October the 20th, I remember because it's my dad's birthday.All the best,
Don.

Liar, you only want to see the pictures and have no intention of help
How very dare you!!
Actually, I can easily date a Status Series II or 2000 by looking at it! The s/n are a bit confusing especially with the 5 strings!

Re: The usual question....
I know it's been asked a hundred times before but can anyone please help me date my bass?I've looked on the databass for similar but cannot get close with the right combination.
It's a Series II, five string, headless, serial no: 46. I'm guessing it's 80's but am unsure the order in which the different models were released and how a 5-string fits into that order....
Any pointers much appreciated.
Thanks
Neil
For a bit of history I purchased the bass in Worcester, England in the early 90's -it was supposedly part of a mass sell off by Shadows bassist Mark Griffiths but I've never been able to find any pics of him playing it.... (so Mark, if you're out there and can confirm, or better still send me a pic!)

Re: Series 4000
Hi Mark Bass, take a look at the "Catalogues and more" pages, you will find some reviews of the series 4000, which seems to have been made in '89.Have fun with your no-wood bass!

From what I can see in the catalogues section of this great website the Series 4000 was introduced at the end of the 80s. I guess your bass may be built in 1991 or so...
Ciao & welcome!

Thanks Stefano!
1991 sounds like it could be right.

Todd wroteIts not easy for Rob to respond to everything, something you have to keep in mind......
He is like a one man show in the sense that he overseas all business operations from development, marketing, sales, assembly....every possible aspect right down to the finishing touches!
Considering how much he has on his plate, its hard to believe he has time to take a piss. Bless him Clap
He is really a fantastic guy, very helpful, but he has to prioritise, otherwise nothing would get done. My past visits to the shop have made me see how crazy busy it is for Rob and Dawn which gives me even that much more respect for them.
Yes absolutly.
I understand that he does not have very much time left and it must be exhausting building the best basses in the world!
It must have been nice to visit the shop. Someday i'm going to visit it myself and order a new 5string!

Welcome to the forum of the best basses on the planet. The best place to find out about your bass would probably be Rob at Status. Just drop him an email. He might take a wee while to get back to you, he's a busy man, but he will reply.
Thanks for the welcome.
That was my first thought but it seems he is not willing to respond to that sort of questions since he wrote his on the hompage:
"PLEASE NOTE
Sorry, but we can not comment on older basses
or give any idea of their value.
Because of time restraints, it is also not possible to supply information
about the age or production details of instrument."
So i am hoping that someone here has an answer for my question
