Status Graphite Energy Bass Unused Condition Mid 90's UK
A genuine rare opportunity to own an unused Status Energy four string Bass guitar manufactured in England by Rob Green of Status Graphite mid 's. If you know about the heritage of Status Graphite you will be aware of the quality and prestige associated with these finely crafted bass guitars. Guitar specifications: Main body: Swamp Ash, natural satin finish Neck: Bolt-on Graphite reinforced Status three-piece rock maple neck, dual graphite rods for extra rigidity, hard wearing rosewood fred board, subtle inlaid fret markings along the top left hand side of the neck, 24 frets. Pickups: Active electronics, black hardwear, two Hyperactive high resolution pickups are controlled with a pre-shape EQ, master volume, balance and active treble cut/boost controls to create a bass sound with masses of punch. The bass was sourced by myself and was purchased brand new in , it was retained as a back-up guitar to my much loved Trace Elliot T Bass used for recording sessions. The T Bass never let me down and as a consequence the Status was never used to any extent other than the odd brief twang then returned to the gig bag and stored. I'm having a clear out of all my equipment and i'm sure you will agree a guitar of this pedigree deserves to be played. As you can see from the pictures the bass is in near pristine condition other than a very small shallow ding in the wood on the back of the neck at the 16th fret measuring approximately 5mm by 2.5mm. This minor blemish goes un-seen and un-noticed unless you regularly play at the high end of the neck, even then it is barely noticeable and does not deter playing in anyway. The small ding was present when I purchased the bass, as a result I negotiated some free Trace Elliot round wound bass strings which I will be happy to include in the sale, there is a set of Trace Elliot medium gauge on the bass and an additional four packs of 5 string medium gauge strings, the strings are hard to come by now and generally sell for around £ per pack on auction sites. I will also supply a couple of leather straps and the original Status Graphite gig bag again in pristine condition and unused. Selling the lot for £800 that's the bass, gig bag, four extra sets Trace Elliot strings, two leather straps, I can arrange postage to a UK address upon request buyer pays for postage and any opted insurance.
