I don't understand where I'm going wrong with the photo links. Thanks Bassbus. The guy selling the Status listed on the French site linked elsewhere on this forum has offered to trade but he wants me to send my MM to him first for a look. I don't think I can do that.

I very, very rarely ever play this classic which got a lot of use by me between 1989 and 1997.

It has been virtually mothballed since then with the exception of a week's playing in November 2010 when it was played in Sunshine on Leith in the Theatre Royal Windsor. I now almost exclusively use my Status fretless with my own band and would like to get hold of a Status Series 2 - 5 string (carbon thru body headless to match my fretless).

The Ray is black with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. There are 4 chips on the body; 3 along the bottom and one on the upper waist as shown in the photographs. There is the usual buckle rash on the back although this is fairly minor. The varnish on the neck (I think around the 5th - 7th fret level - I'll check) has been dented/chipped. I have not found this to get in the way of my playing at all. The electrics are in great order and it is fitted with Dunlop straploks.

I can supply a gig bag (extra £10) or Hiscox case (extra £45) if required.

I would like £900 for this or the best closest offer. I hope I have properly linked to the photos on Flickr here:
