We recently lost a friend in Nick Smith.
I recall several meetups with Nick talking about his plentiful collection of basses of which some Status basses.
@moo will remember when we met at his place a couple of times (can't seem to find the pictures)
Nick will be missed, RIP my friend.
I believe this picture was taken by Trev at the London Bass Show 2012

This is very sad news indeed.
Nick was a lovely chap always in good spirits. I was lucky enough to have him here at mine for an afternoon. Lots of fun AND some of my basses finally got played properly!
I’ll send some pictures I have of him to Andre to put up here!
You will be missed Nick

Both shocked and sorry to hear this news - Nick was a lovely guy and a monster player, he also did a lot of the demos and promotions at trade shows for Enfield. One memorable day, we met at Status HQ in Colchester and sort of ambushed Rob and Dawn - I did get to play one of MK's early King Bass MkII's, though. Nick will be sorely missed. RIP mate.
