Hi all,
so finally, here she is, the old Lady

Beautiful instrument, ultra light and a real piece of art. The sound: HUGE!! I've never heard a bass sound like this. It's... well it's different
from all my other basses, extremely powerful and agressive. To say it cuts through the mix isn't true, it smashes the mix! :D

Carbon, Carbon, one piece of Carbon !

An old dream became true, and now I am the proud owner of one of the few remaining original Status Buzzards!;)
And this one won't disappear on a wall, behind glass or in a safe: it will be played !!!
I love this instrument, not only in memory of John Entwistle, but this was a real masterpiece of Rob Green, that I deeply respect
and appreciate, - with a very dramatic end that I personally will NEVER forget nor forgive.:@

So here are my 2 Status prototypes. the very early Buzzard B1, and the very first Series 3:

Thank you Rob for building the best basses ever !!!()()()

the sound of the Buzzard is like the thunder !

Very lucky to own them! Moo should sell all his to own one very special one:P Unless the torch is picked up soon we could be entering an era of the end of our beloved basses.

By the way I still have first refusal on that red retro jazz just so's you all know ;)

Jealousy is an ugly thing, but I guess I'm just an ugly person, ha ha. A fine collection Alan and I am so glad you are not just hanging them on a wall

Just wonderful! All those knobs. :o

Fantastic!!!

Oh yes they're awesome! They do have a sound that I've never heard before from a bass, very specific and unique. Well I think so!

The sound of an 8-string Buzzard isn't something I can fully describe. Words don't do it justice.
