[PapaKyleT]

Great bass playing. Are you in a band or group? I would love to hear and see you in a band setting! Cheers.

[Mospulver]

Sounds amazing, my man. What Amp are you using in this vid?

[grahamaroo]

never sell a status. i just bought one of my friend a while ago and wants it back big time. no way. he bought a musicman and doe's not like it at all.

great sound and great playing man!

[MrPaulBassist]

[MAXPAYNE485]

[zeldas1]

[abc123gpl]

always inspiring to watch you .

[janustaurus]

I've got a staus They do more than just sound good for slap. I play in a punk band you can make them sound like a right dirty bitch!

[dillikins]

Well done, but I'm starting to wonder: will I ever hear someone play a non-Level 42 inspired bass line on a Status?

[jonannlou]

I've done a few non 42 tracks before i sold my status! Though I do alot 42 tracks :)

[yellofury]

Ill vouch I play some deep fingerstyle on one of my vids on a Washburn Status

[manasmusic]

My husband`s playing Status, too....great sound!

[siilentghost]

How DO YOU PLAY LIKE THAT!?

[johnnyboiimvp]

haha the answer is: lots of hours of practice, there is no limit when it comes to practice, that way you develope precition and speed. ^_^ always practice with a metronome as well.

[jonannlou]

sod practice!  Just go for it!! :)

[jonannlou]

Hiya,

nice playing! Is that a status 1000 or 2000? My 1000 sounds very similar, especially with new strings!

[DamonUK]

It's an early Series II.

[Zelious12]

Very nice playing. I like the bass except for the fact I hate headless basses : P. [Sweet bass clef tatto by the way]

[ramon709]

Ahh yes, I have totaly forgotten about the bassline you played at the end...i had it on one of those lvl42 mixed collection cd's. great line! I still can play the line a bit, but i forgot the title of the song. what was the title??

[kingbassplayer]

i had a series 2 for a long time (00430)

and i gotta say i never got it to sound that good or played it that well ... TOP MAN KINGBASSPLAYER

[AlanJPotter]

Come on mate, show some consideration for your neighbours and close the window. Nicely played though - Mark King rules.

[hilytrinity]

good man! great sound. status rules. i sold my series 1 on ebay. wish i hadnt now. keep up dude. nice 2 see decent playing. hope ur giggin.

[alex2006i]

Hey dude sounds awesome, is the action low ?

[teamcuba2000]

just sold my status series 2 on e-bay... decided to try a marcus miller signature jazz...just need to get some lighter strings on it b4 i set my thumb to work...loving your work by the way

[alexcar66]

hi mate... yes i saw it.. i bid on it 2.... i had a 75 jazz ... but i sold it to buy the status... good luck with the MM... al

[teamcuba2000]

very nice thumbwork sir, wish i had the balls to display a bass clef so proudly....i have the same bass, is that a 70's jazz i see behind? dont wanna sell it do you?

;-)

[alexcar66]

cheers.... its a 75 reissue... but funnily enough it is up 4 sale..lol

[Mowac]

At last....we see the bass with a face this time.....great Mark King stuff...."Can't walk you home" is a bitch to try to play for me........

[spacedub1]

cool thanks,

[spacedub1]

hi mate, which Status is that?

[alexcar66]

its a Series II... they only made these and 2000 in 84

[Mowac]

The real bad news about the headless basses is that you can't get a replacement tuner assembly from Status. I asked Rob Green at Status about this and he said that his supplier went out of buisiness and so went the hardware for the headless basses.

[TheAjm993]

@alexcar66

Would you like to sell this Status Series II bass to me?

I'm looking for a long time for such an old Status!

Can you tell me something about it (woods, serial nr.)? Thanks!

[Klorana]

nice.........luv it alex......

[spacedub1]

sounds great man

[TraceElliot42]

I wonder if the new Status basses sound great like this 84 model !

[divinesalvia]

prima i like the sound of your bass superb:D

[Bonnaroo10klmf]

do you use any compression to get your sound?

[alexcar66]

no compression on there..

[greendaykickarse]

I don't want to go against the flow here - but I prefer the sound of your Jazz - but lets be honest if your playing it, it sounds fecking great whatever it is - oh and about that mirror?

[alexcar66]

ta... the jazz aint goin anywhere.. but the status reminds me of all those happy carefree days of the 80's...ahhh...the mirror.. well lets just say it has a perfect position for certain application..

[mati052]

if u got the money u have nothing to decide,, just buy that! ☺

nice vid

[thechineseway]

Bass sounds great dont buy it, i want it.

[alexcar66]

[RYAN2642]

I think it has to be a shall with a sound like that.

[RYAN2642]

Great stuff Alex love the sound is the Bass a recent accquisition or a hidden away toy?

[alexcar66]
