hi Andre,

yes a real paint job! You know I bought this bass on ebay a few months ago - it was the one with that stunning design on it. I decided to build it into a headless one - by using status-parts. I know, that the Series 1 6-string did not built by status as a headless - but she´s the one I wanted.....

OOooooooooh :O

Great conversion! The finish looks great, and naturally its new found headlessness is a bonus.

hi Andre,

no, I won´t! All I wanted, was a cheaper alternative of a headless-bass at all. It looks very sexy, sounds great and I never will give it away.... ;-)
