Hello everyone, I'm new on this forum. I've had this headless Status bass fetish from late eighties when I saw Pete Trewavas from Marillion using one on the Lorelei live video. I've made about 20 basses and guitars so far and now I'm about to make myself a Status-like bass using Status classic soapbar pickups, Moses headless graphite neck, chrome ABM single tuner/bridge units, Bartolini NTBT preamp and mahogany/figured walnut body. The shape will be similar to classic Status shape. I like narrower string spacing so Moses headless neck will suit fine. I have all the parts home and today I glued the walnut top on the body. Next I'll sand the body to shape. I'll post pic of the body tomorrow. Marko
