Thanks…..

Looking at the the serial number it seems your bass was built in December 2004.

What bass is it?? If you can give some more details and a pic would be great!

I would like to know more about myself. Year of manufacture, types of wood...
12043076

I am looking for any information regarding my 1980's S2. The serial number is 1048, thanks.

Anyone? Still searching for info on this.

I've written an email to Rob from Status: he says that it is indeed an Energy from the mid 90s, but he doesn't know about that switch. Eclipses have four knobs and, if I recall correctly, they have a top...

Or is it an Eclipse?

Either way, remember, it's a bit short of a full Status, having only a carbon re-inforced neck...

Go for it and hope you will enjoy her.

anyway, I'm trying to get it for 400 euros... it would be a fair price, right?

I learned how to play bass on my music teacher's Status Groove, it's the only Status I've ever played and I liked it a lot, but it's been almost 20 years since then and I don't know what price would be right...

Thank you for the answer!

I thought it was a 5 string energy too, but I don't see any model with both the clearer part at the end of the neck and the toggle switch... maybe it has been customized in some ways?

Of course, the seller doesn't know anything about it... just that it sounds terrific

Seems to me to be a 5 string Energy bass from the 90's

Take a look here that might help : https://www.statii-catalogues.com/ and here specifically for a catalogue that includes the Energy model https://www.statii-catalogues.com/pro...990's and there are many more.

Hope that helps and sure other members can contribute!

of course

Might be easier if you were to post some pictures perhaps?

Hello there,

I'm in the market for a Status. I've found a good deal on a 5 strings. I don't know which model it is: it looks like an Energy, 5 strings, 3 knobs, one toggle switch (guessing for active-passive), serial number 3579... any clue?

Hi guys,
would somebody kindly be of help?
I recently acquired a used beautiful bass and I would really appreciate if you could tell me what model it is and what is the year of construction. Information I can find on the catalogue section is not univocal, in my humble opinion. Mostly because I can't see a real difference between Empathy and Series 2.
The instrument has apparently 2 serial numbers: one is on the walnut central piece of body and it says "2477".
The other one is on a paper label and it says "0481922 - made in England".
No truss-rod is present in the graphite neck.
Picture attached.
Thanks!

I recently aquired a 1997 T-Bass SE, but finding reliable info is proving hard. Serial number is 97 SE 024. Does anyone know how many were made of the different models/finishes? This one is a natural flamed top.

I share your confusion. I'm just awaiting delivery of the one from luckylips that is currently on the for sale forum and trying to understand what was called what, when and why seems a bit of a minefield.

So far I seem to have established the following although I would welcome any more learned members to correct me:

When first introduced the headed options were initially signified by the ‘Matrix’ suffix so an S2 Matrix, Empathy Matrix etc.
The Matrix name was then used as a model name in its own right and so headed basses thereafter no longer had a different identifying suffix, they were just known as a S2, Empathy etc headed or headless.

Also, was it at this time that the 'cricket bat' wider graphite through body (i.e. visible from both sides) was discontinued or did they continue with an option of both the narrow and wider types of construction?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Wondering what the exact moment was that Rob started producing the S2 Matrix.

Cause when I peek at the catalogues section I find a French and English review, both from '91 about the introduction of headed basses. But on page 5 of Brochure 4 (which is from 1988) there is already a choice given between headless and headed. So now I'm a bit confused.

Btw: my S2 matrix has serial 104.

However I don't quite understand Rob's procedures, while there is an old warranty with the bass with all the specs of it, but........without the date of completion. Strange, isn't it???
