S2 Classic will have the number under the tuning knobs. Series II/2 will likely have the number on the string retainer at the end of the neck.

A good question. I have no idea actually. I was told it was an S2 and I didn't really think about it.

I'll have another look for a number when I get home from work, but I'm sure there isn't one there!

Do You mean an S2 Classic OR a Series II???

Yeh, should be on the end of the body underneath the tuning knobs.

On the body near the bridge?

Bought an S2 a year ago, my return to the Status fold. Can't see a serial number anywhere??? where would it be? I assume there is one!

Yes, I read about that rule already.

But searching the database for Empathy's we get exceptions to that:
- 1995 / 046204
- 1998 / 1756/1171616

These might be abbreviated:
- 1998 / 1740
- 1995 / 2456
- 1989 / 704

This is the only one within the rule:
- 1997 / 971428

And these are all the 7 Empathy's in the database, and no pattern is visible to guess the serial number on mine.

But the stronger bet is definitely 98.

Thank you anyway!

That looks like July 1998. 07 is the month then the 8 is 1998. the other numbers just denote the number of the bass. Unless someone knows differently.

Hi all!
I have a Empathy 5 strings, with serial number 0782226, which I bought used some years ago, and I would like to know if anyone has a clue on what year it was made.
I've already sent an email to Rob, but I got no answer...
I've also checked the Database, but I find no pattern in all the Empathy's serials.
If someone could give me hand?
Cheers,
Paulo

I will pick '89 as it was my favourite year

My FPPR Series 2000 is 327, just after yours.

I have mine dated as '89 but I'm not sure how I got to that. I know Rob's seen it and maybe we found the original production card for it up at Colchester!

Who knows!!!

I'd say not earlier than '90, S2000 production was slower than the SII.

Any idea of year? '88? '89? It is the graphite weave finish, original thick neck all the way to heel, no switch or led between jack and controls, status pickups not gmt, status in the lines on bridge not the curving script. Will add pic tomorrow if it helps.

Email Status, normally pretty good but they are usually busy so yours will be a low priority for a reply unless some here can help out.

Hey, I bought a Series 4000 a couple of weeks ago and am trying to find as much info on it as I can as I like to know everything about the instruments in my collection. The serial number is 245. I tried the databass but only one S4000 was registered and that is bass no 127. Is there any other database where I can find out production date?

I think if you click on 'Register' below the submit button you should be able to put in you details there. I used the same details as I do for the main site.

Does anybody has a login to connect to the databass ?

It seems that I need a different login and password to get in the databass...

If you have a look on the database (link at top of this page) you might be able to find a serial number that is close to yours. That might help with dating the instrument. Otherwise have alook around the 'Catalogues & more' which might also help (again link at top of page).

Hello all,

I write this message from france. I recently bought a used Satus Energy Bass with a broken head...

It's a 4 strings Energy V1 (according to the electronic circuit). Between the neck and the body, there are several signatures (like Rob himself, but also Jean, SDC, JRM, SMC, etc...)

on the neck, there is a "56W" hand written, and on the body, a "56"

The electronic circuit is labeled "Energy V1.0" and there is a Rob Green Signature.

And, at the back of the head, there a number : 2152

Can anybody help me dating this instrument ? There is not so much infos on the net. I mailed Rob on the site but still no answer.

Thank you !
