and WOW! My first Status Finally! What an incredible instrument.

Too bad I'm stuck at work for another 5 hours!

There will be much HeavyMetalChunkinFunkalistics thumping the East Cost tonight though!

Life is good!

That must be purgatory sitting with a bass you can't touch for five hours. Enjoy playing it. Oh, and if you haven't taken the hint yet, PICTURES :D

Yes, this is definitely Bass purgatory and might be damn close to the "Heaters" too! Ha!

Yes, I'll post some pictures soon!

I got it home last night finally and took it to rehearsal almost instantly.

These things are absolutely incredible! I'm playing through the second tune thinking to myself "Why I have I waited so long to get one of these?"!

After I got home from rehearsal I spent some time setting it up the way I like it (fresh out of the box the setup was exceptionally done but I like insanely low action) and man the way this bass plays now is insane!

I'm a converted Ex-Fodera player!

I'm sold on Status! I've seen the light! Ha!

I'll post some images tonight!

Peace!

Morning all,
Here are some pictures that I took this morning. I'll have to borrow a better camera though since the images are not so good.

I ordered a set of 30-90 gauge strings yesterday since it was setup with a set of 40-100. It's funny that the tension on the 40-100 seems to be greater on this than my other basses.

The action on this thing is unbelievable!
