While patiently waiting for my Kingbass Paramatrix, I couldn't help "rescueing" this baby...
I felt very attracted by the idea to have a piece of Status legacy like this...

S-II
#504 (dating 1984 to 1986 ? anybody would know before I ask Rob?)

It arrived yesterday night, I woke up earlier than usual and fitted a new set of strings and new batteries.... Apparently perfect conditions after a quick playing this morning..... very happy :D
I just need to clean a bit the bridge that is a bit dirty ... what product you'd use ?

Bellissimo SII Paolo, a classic. What's the top wood? Looks like Paduak, so red it is.
My ex SII #402 was an '88, so I would say yours is somewhere around '89 -'90.

Grazie Enzo. It plays even better than it looks!

I will take a better pic of the top, honestly... no idea about the woods! :|

I found it "by accident" and since the great condition, I didn't hesitate to adopt it ... you need to do good deeds every now and then to be a better person...

:D

Magic Rob helped me out! He is "the man" !

Date: 29th March 1990
Woods: Purple Heart / Cherry

Good to know official dates.
Purple heart huh? Sweet, I wonder how does it sound, it's a very dense and stiff wood.

Beautiful instrument.
A bit of envy comming your way :-)

Very nice, that should hold you over until the KB arrives.

@Dave... it depends of what else I find in the meantime! ;) I'm so curious to see that rounded-edge-Stealth as well !

@Enzo. Describign sounds with words is an art so mysterious to me, even more than tasting wine for me. All I can ... I like it!

@EjnarDK... many thanks!

I guess I could almost hold a Statii meeting in my house just by myself... will I become a Moo's brainchild ? :o

P,
Yes I'm looking forward to the Stealth arrival more than I can say.
I'll live vicariously through your purchase until mine arrives.
