Hello,
I have been playing bass since the early sixties,and to date have owned 49 basses
I have owned two Status basses,well 3 if you count the Tbass,a Ltd Edition Eclipse 5 string,and a S2 Custom Classic headless 5 string with leds.
I am thinking of getting another Status,so thought this is a good place to keep an eye on,

Cheers Ady

Hi and welcome in Ady. So it's taken you best part of 40-50 years of playing to realise Status are 'the' basses to own? Sell the Yamaha, sell the Rogue and get yourself the best british made bass, made with love and care for the customer around today. Rob will probably retire in a few years so now is the time to get a couple if you can!

Hi Danny thanks,It did take until 2002 to buy my first Status,which is on my list of "regret selling".
In the early days i was never keen on the look of a headless bass,so i guess i missed out.

I reckon you did but I was the same headless didn't really float my boat as they do today, having said that my S2 is headed because that's how I wanted it. Your never too old Ady, it's never too late.....ask Todd:D

Blimmin 'eck does Ady live in the Bass Centre:D Some real nice basses there, in fact that is a shocking amount to own, you must have your favourites and then the sentimental ones. That leaves all the others to flog to put towards a new status!

I love the last one and can't recognise them all though. Is there a Ryder bass there and it looks like a Modulus as well...if so nice!

Welcome aboard! That's some history!!!

I spied the Sei's, the Wal and the Overwater as being of particular note (as well as the Statii - that goes without saying!)
