Hello, Thought I'd pop along and introduce myself. My name is Stuart Clayton, bassist, writer and teacher. I'm sure I'll know some of you from other forums! Shockingly, I'm not currently a Status owner, although I've a couple in the past. My first 'good' bass was a Status all graphite series 2000, which I had retrofitted with LEDs by Martin Sims - it was the first graphite bass he had done. I ended up selling it to Mike Brooks, a fellow Bass Guitar Mag writer, so I know it's in safe hands! I also owned a 6-string, but I can't remember what model it was. In fact, I believe I sent a pic to Rob and even he couldn't recall what it was! Anyway, it was a lovely bass, finished in a red sunburst colour. I added blue LED's to it, but the 6-string thing never caught on for me. Anyway, that's me. Nice to be here. Cheers Stuart
