I remember seeing the "Shout" video and just salivating over that S2 shown at the bass breakdown in the vid back in the 80's.

I should also say that "Head Over Heels" is one of the Top 5 songs that made me want to play bass. Still love that song...

Curt Smith did use an S2. Check out the vid for the track "Shout " on youtube. If I remember, in the middle of the vid you get some close ups!! ;)

Is that a Duesenberg Curt is playing?

I used to speak with Roland at least once a week many years ago.... he was a massive Mac fan.... this was before I was ever introduced to Status so never thought to bring the subject up.... doh!

Roland is a real talent. Love his voice and his songwriting is absolutely fantastic.

I stand corrected. Still making good music together.

A nice old one indeed with the open poles!

Great band by the way, love their most recent album 'Everybody Loves a Happy Ending' and the live DVD 'Secret World Live in Paris'.

Who else (along with me) absolutely loves all the wonderful advertising that's being placed all over YouTube videos??

Oh it's just made the whole experience so much more wonderful!!

God bless them all!!

Well found by the way Don!

Definitely a Status Series II around the mid 80's...
Check the Shout video at the 3 min mark

Poor old Brittany Murphy popped her clogs recently!

YES he used a Series II Status as did Jaz Lochre (can't remember the spelling) who played bass for them live!!!

those 80s videos were fantastic, they used to have quite big budgets in the heyday of mtv, shot on film as well! anyhow i think he has a Steinberger in this vid as you can briefly see the top of the neck at 3.59, and the strap position at 2.50

That is such a great track with a great bassline to boot!

:)

I don't remember him using a Status (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) but he did use a Steinberger. He then changed to, ehm, 'scuse me, a Warwick (sorry for swearing). They made some great pop music in the 80s.

I'm pretty sure that he was seen playing a Status in the 80s and this sounds a lot like an SII honk to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMBbJ_...MBbJ_l0Tb4
