Re: Rob semi-retirement
That is referring to the 40th anniversary basses only.

Re: Rob semi-retirement
There's some changes on the home page at status-graphite.com with the following text:

"I'll be contacting everyone who has expressed an interest very soon.
We just need to finalise the web pages with detailed information."

Does anybody know anything about this, are they resuming manufacturing ??? :-)

Cheers Al.

Re: The NEW Happy Birthday Thread
I guess we can congratulate him again on another birthday soon? That's cool, I want to join in. An acquaintance of mine likes to be congratulated on the forum too, and this time it's her birthday in a week. Was looking for a thread but came across this one. I want to surprise her and order a gift from jetgiftbaskets.com with a signature from the forum. I think she will like it and think the gift is anonymous. Thankfully there is an option to send it and leave a mystery behind. I think she will like it. That's what I wanted to find out from local users how relevant and cool it would be to do so

Re: Status B-2
Hi everyone,

Checking out a Status B-2, and was wondering what year the bass was made? The serial number is
CE 05123582. Any info on the year, and any feedback as it pertains to the year of build, would be much appreciated.

Re: Rob semi-retirement
Is there any indication about ongoing support and repairs since Rob has retired?
My bass could do with a re-fret but apparently they're not doing that kind of work either.

Re: Rob semi-retirement
It's quite simple... Rob is a perfectionist and every single bass he makes goes through his fingers at the end of production. So if he wants to 'slow down' or stop working then everything stops!

Just to put things into perspective, it's been more than 40 years! I have a Status bass that's 41 years old!

Re: Rob semi-retirement
I did not really understand what kind of retirement is.
I mean, it sounds they just sell strings and few more things. No more basses produced!
Is it correct?
It does sound like a full retirement.
What I don't understand is why they didn't continue with the employees they have worked with them all these years.
Or some of them buying the company.
It's quite wierd stopping a 30year succesfull production all of the sudden! IMHO!

Re: Replacement Neck for OLP 5
Hi All,

Hope everyone's safe and well.

I have a question about getting a Status replacement neck for my OLP 5 string bass. I've attached some photos here so please do have a look at those. I don't unfortunately have dimensions of the neck pocket or anything like that, but just curious - has anyone replaced the neck on an OLP 5 string bass with a Status neck? I'm looking at a lined fretless neck.

If anyone of y'all have ay advice/tips on this, please do feel free to share. Thanks!

Re: Thanks Dawn!!
Sending thanks to Dawn who went the extra mile to find me some old stock Tapewounds to make up a 5 string set after I turned to playing 5ers.

As always polite and professional taking the time to make sure that I got what I needed.

We are blessed to have her working for us.

Re: Clip on tuners
I have an S3 and find clipping on the 'spare' strap button gives good results. If I clip where the strap is the blessed thing pings off!

No actually - I had tried on the EQ knobs but it wasn't reliable I found. I shall try that

Thank You
