I pulled the trigger on a new Series 3 in late April with the following specifications:

* 4 String, 19mm spacing with a headstock
* Chrome woven top with gold hardware, black body (Alder), black woven neck
* Soap bars with the standard 303 circuit
* Wraparound L.E.D.'s (Blue)
* Strap locks

Looking forward to receiving the bass when ready.

Nice way to join a forum. You will enjoy it when it arrives.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I expect that it will ship sometime in late July or early August and I'll post pictures when it arrives. I've not owned a Status bass yet have wanted one since '86 when I saw the TFF "Shout" video.

Ah Tears For Fears. Have to confess I was a bit of a fan in the day. Saw them once with all the girls screaming downstairs. Very good they were too, the band not the girls. Just eightiestastic mate.
