Any more V8s out there for sale then? I have not got enough for the ex-Sting one on Bassworld (expensive Wife to keep!) but am interested in any non-famous ones!Shock

Re: RH 5 String Headless with LED Wanted
Welcome to Statii. Hope you manage to find the bass you are looking for. Certainly sounds like it would be a good one and LEDs are so cool. Cool

If you do we would like to see some photos. Wink

Re: URGENTLY WANTED: Status Buzzard I
That clip was probably taken from the DVD, "Classic Albums - The Who: Who's Next". I highly recommend picking this video up. John sits in front of the camera and talks about his bass line for Baba O Riley. He's using his B-2 and effects gear. This is the only footage I know of that's up front and personal with John and a B-2.

Re: URGENTLY WANTED: Status Buzzard I
If I understand correctly, Status is not allowed to even use the term Buzzard - same for mentioning Entwistle in relation to Status instruments. That's why what used to be called the Buzzard-2 is now called the B-2. John never used it for a major performance or recording, never made any endorsement of it, and - unlike the big, original Buzzard - its shape is unique to Status. As such, Rob can still market it under the changed name and with no mention of John.

The only footage I know of showing John playing a Buzzard-2 is the rehearsal clip in the eulogy section of the John Entwistle Band DVD.

Re: URGENTLY WANTED: Status Buzzard I
I think they are talked about as B-1s & B-2s these days...

And so long as he doesn't call them Buzzards or have any reference to the late, great JE.

Warwick originally agreed to pay Stuart Spector a license fee - they allegedly did so for a period of two years; they then stopped after having made

rockier' end of the market, call it a `JE' model as a non-specific tribute instrument! JE could be anyone, for example, Johnny English!

I've got a US Spector NS-2 in my collection and its a superb instrument - Warwicks have come been and gone - never owned one for more than 8 months!

Watch the Courts! Spector is currently taking advice about going after Warwick again.

The difficulty will be that Gibson just lost their appeal and so PRS can still make the 'single cut' so there is now precedent that as long as you can tell the difference at the point of sale then there is no infringement. Gibson's own lawyer admitted that 'only an idiot' would confuse them at sale.

So technically Rob could make them in the USA - as long as it was damn clear it was not a Warwick.

I have no doubt that Warwick were simply able to pay more for a license as they are a bigger company.

Re: URGENTLY WANTED: Status Buzzard I
Speaking for myself, I'd love to see an all graphite, or at least graphite neck through, Buzzard 2.

THAT would be interesting.

Re: STILL SEARCHING FOR A STATUS BUZZARD I
Guys,
it is really hard to get one.
So: I am still urgently interested in a Status Buzzard I , both 4 and 8 string.
I am willing to trade in to my Alembic Spyder 4, Spyder 8 or custom Dragon Wing or pay cash.
There was one member out of this forum who had offered one for sale, but unfortunately refused.
I need them urgently to play with our WHO tribute band WHO ARE YOU on stage.
Many thanks for viewing.

Oliver (still Spyderman)

Re: Need a V8 so I can feel my Status!
Hi Status friends!

I currently have a Trace V4 200w all valve head (pic soon) and I want to add to my collection with it's big brother the V8 400w head.

Does anyone out there have one that they are willing to part with for a mutually agreeable wedge of folding? I will even collect too (if you are in the UK)

thanks in advance

Whitey42!

Re: URGENTLY WANTED: Status Buzzard I
I second Oliver's post - Rob, as you know from our off-board discussion, I'm getting close to ordering a B-2. If you have any new options coming out, I'd love to hear about them before I order!

Re: URGENTLY WANTED: Status Buzzard I
Rob,
many thanks for your post.
This makes me really interested.
I was close to another B 1 but then the seller refused, unfortunately.
I already had my Spyders on Ebay to be prepared for the B1.
Sadly, I couldnĀ“t get it.
So all my hopes are in you now.
