MnichNCTMB Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've been looking around to upgrade my starter bass already and came across this company and website www.status-graphite.com The models it shows look AWESOME but seems they only custom build new ones. I been looking at the forum from the website and they seem to think Status basses are the best things since sliced bread. Has anyone ever tried one of these out? If they sound as good as they look I will have to sell a kidney for a Stealth model with LEDs in the fret board! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The Ox certainly enjoyed playing them. I have never personally played one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModmanQ6 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 They are excellent basses and a very worthy upgrade if you go that route! Here is a link to the Status Forum. You can get any info you need there as well as hook up with some owners that may be selling used basses or know where some might be. I have several very nice basses, but would really like to add a Status to my collection some day...

Seamy ALB Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have played a number of different Status basses over a number of years and I can highly reccommend them as highly reliable, great sounding and very playable. I loved the zing of the graphite, they are very responsive instuments. http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Little-Bitter/185235472447 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruuve Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 That would be quite an upgrade! I've never layed hands on one, but would love to...there was one for sell on Ebay that I believe did not sell. Search completed auctions and contact the seller...he may sell it to you outright.

Pernax Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Woven graphite is probably the coolest material ever, even so that I'm in the progress of adding a few "things" made out of it in to several of my basses. Status has, for a long time, been on my shortlist of manufacturers to check out, but unfortunately that would probably require a trip to the UK (which actually might happen soon w/ the band).

Musiclogic Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I had a Status back in the late 80's, great basses, but alas, after a few years, it got traded in on a Kubicki. Status basses are wonderful instruments especially if you like a really clear snappy sound. I seek knowledge from the winds of destiny , Wisdom from the seas of time, and honor from within myself. Lost in a land where bass and time collide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I've played a Status. I thought it was a great bass. Tight, focused sound. Nice feel. Peace. --Doctor Luv spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!
