Hi Jezzy B, some hints from me: - find someone with a Status bass and ask her/him if you can test the bass - directly after you had played the Status you are in love - Status basses with a graphite neck has an own sound but are very flexible in terms of different sounds - If you like Mark Kings slap bass tone it will be hard to find a bass that fits better (ok...Alem...) - you have to tune a Status bass with graphite neck only if you use new strings. - headed or headless....it´s your choice - in my opinion the wood of a neck through graphite Status isn´t so important in terms of sound (perhaps I´m wrong) - a Status grahite is more bright ...(not "warm" as Jamiroquai sounds) - you can get a "Flea" sound but the Status can be much brighter and aggressive if you like And the most important hint: - never buy a bass before you have played it and smiled
