Hi I've lurked for awhile and finally I registered!

Had to get some pictures of my main bass the last ten years first!
I'm posting that in "show off" section ;)...

Anyways, I'm playing my Energy in sweden, Denmark and Norway, something I've been doing the last 12 years or so. I've played most styles there is, not the "Dance" stuff here in Scandinavia though. My Energy was my first real instrument. And I have yet found something thats better. Exept maybe an eclipse artist with graphite neck I tried in '98....B)
That was a totally different sound than my wooden neck/ash body Energy.

Nice to be able to speak with others that share a devotion to this great brand of instruments!

Hi
I'm an even more recently registered Swede B).
Got my first Status this Monday, a Stealth 2 4-string. Great instrument, quickly becoming a favourite. My other basses are a fretted and a fretless Stingray 5, a Sadowsky 5 and Fender Jazz Bass from -71. The Status is definitely different. I got it pretty cheap from a friend without ever having a played a Status before. It's certainly much more versatile than I thought. Great buy :-).

Sorry guys, just a greeting in svorsk, obs scandinavian ;)

Basscat, how much did you pay for the Stealth? Is there any good shops for bassgear in Sweden around Göteborg / Uddevalla?

Hi there, status, basscat and Roffa!
I played in Sandefjord last time at a private party, It's a bit all over the place and not as often as I would like since I have alot of friends in the Oslo/Vestfold region :(

Good shops in gothenburg? If you like status? There aren't any with them in the shops, most of them just got the usual suspects...
The ones we love to hate, the ol' standby and wanking guitarists fav. brand. :D
take some wild guesses! ;) :D

There's a shop here in gothenburg that I like, mostly for it's coffe, friendly&helpful crew and the fact that they carry Elite strings... They do have alot to do with the basscentre in London (the manager is from London) so they can hook you up with allmost anything.

Hi there
I paid €800 (7500 SEK) for my -99 Stealth headed fourstring. Given it's great condition I think it's a bargain :-). I really like the sound of the Stealth and although I have limited experience with Status basses my impression is that it sounds a little different from the "classic" Status sound. Is that true?

That is certainly a bargain. Lovely looking bass. I prefer the headed versions, they just look and feel better to me. If you choose to sell it I'll give you E800 for it! ;)

The guy who sold it was in desperate need to downgrade to a Stingray fourstring and needed the money to get a good deal on one of those. As you said Roger, lucky me:D.

I don't think I'll sell it though. It's a great addition to my arsenal. The Stealth and and my Sadowsky 5 are the ones I use most of the time now.
