You would need to know the year which it was made - If you dont know, post your serial number (found down at the bridge) and we'll tell you :)

From the Status Website:

Current models :
Push the 4mm allen key into the socket under the end of the fingerboard and turn it CLOCKWISE to bow the neck backwards and ANTI-CLOCKWISE to bow the neck forwards. This is the standard way most bass necks are adjusted.

Older (pre-2003) graphite neck models :
Push the 5mm key firmly into the socket and turn it CLOCKWISE to bow the neck forwards and anti-clockwise to bow the neck backwards.
NOTE : This is the opposite way to most other truss-rods.



Oh - And lets see some photos of the bass!
Status S2 5 String Fretless 'Moo-wood'
Status S1000 rebuild
Fender Strat - Fretted
Shadow Superstrat Guitar - Fretless
Ibanez RG Electric of some sort
Avalon As-101CE Electro-Acoustic Guitar

I've owned 5 Statii so far, with 2 at present....

My Stealth II Which is most definitely later (it's the candy apple blue model on the Status website) has a reverse rod. I actually damaged my bass by overtightening the rod (no instructions came with the bass) the bass has never been the same. Many (one of my Kingbasses had one) have a sticker that tells you how to adjust your rod, but I had no warning. I am still not happy.

My only suggestion is to be wary and check the gap as you turn the rod.
so much gear, so little time.
