I have decided to put up my Status Barracuda 5 string bass for sale.
This bass, as with all Status basses, sounds amazing and is a joy to play!
I bought it a music store a couple of years ago and only used it twice… It is in great condition.
The bass weighs 11.5 pounds. It heavy, but that is why it has a powerful sound.
The bass has been modified with Bartolini 59 CBJD L1/LN1 jazz bass pickups and a Delano Sonar 2 pre amp. It sounds amazing with this new set up.
I will also include the original pre amp and electronics that came with the bass.
Please note that I kept the third hum-cancelling pickup in place, but it is not currently connected as the Bartolinis I had a tech put on are hum-cancelling.
The original pickups and pre amp will require the third. This is why I kept it in place.
35-inch scale. 18 mm string spacing.
The original electronics are the same as the Trace Elliot T- basses.
It has separate volume for each pickup, treble, and bass control.
The electronics have a passive/active switch for the active electronics.
That switch is currently not in place as it is not possible with the Bartolini/ Delano set up.
I think the bass sounds like a perfect Jazz bass with the new set up.
Bass is located in Los Angeles.
I am willing to ship to UK and Europe at buyers expense.
Pay Pal only please to protect both of us.
I am selling it for $850 US dollars plus shipping.
Thanks for looking!
