Status are top shell handmade English basses. Washburn S1000 was a collaboration between Status and Washburn during late 80's/early 90's when those particular basses were produced. They were assambeled by Washburn, but all the hardware and electronics were made by Status, the only difference is the body, which is ash in Washburn models, and carbon+different woods in Status original basses. Those were ment as a cheaper alternative to quite expensice Status basses, and man, those are monsters! They sound amazing, I've been using one of those for everything from jazz to metal, and you simply can't do anything but fall in love with them!

Rob Green's Status basses are some of the very best on the marked. Quality crafting, high end components and one of a kind, trully spesial sound. Ton of sound settings in the preamp (blend/volume/bass/mid/high + middle switch). I own a 5 string headed version, and the only reason ig gets 4/5 stars is because of string spacing, which makes it no so easy to play(mine is 18mm). Spacing is a custom option on new Status basses, though.

This bass is a killer! Allthrough Ibanez basses are not the most cool or wanted isntruments out there on the marked, this model is insainly good! It is definitely one of the best basses I ever owned. Slim neck, fast, gorgeous wood, perfect sustain, it has it all. MK-1's sound pretty good in this particular one (sounded much better than 5str MK-1's to me). This bass is extremely beautiful! Everything from wood to pearl inlays is just so damn nice!

First of all, I've never been a Fender fan, and I just don't get why the hell people are so obsessed with the brand name on the headstock, but! This particular model (well, mine is a Japan non-export Dolphin Gray, but there's not a lot of difference apart from pickguard) is so damn good. The P/J configuration gives you a lot of settings, the slim neck, the light weight - everything is wery well balanced. Definitively a keeper!

A lot of brands out there could learn from ESP, the managed to build an extremely cheap and very good bass. Nothing spesial to brag of - agatis/mapple - light, but versile and good sounding bass, quite fast aswell. It feels cheap, but then - it is cheap. A good one to start with!

Nothing special. The overall quality is good, but that's just as far as it gets.

What can I say, this bass has its + and -. The overall feeling is kinda like the higher SDGR models, but the wood is cheaper and brighter. Electronics are nothing to brag about aswell, but then again it is a good one for the money. The neck is slim and fast, and it is good to go right from the box. Good deal for a newcomer.

The only thing this is good for is firewood. Got it, tested it, sold it, and feel pretty sorry for the guy who bought it from me. It just feels so cheap, nothing works as it should. Sorry Cort-guys, you have no idea what you're doing.

That's like the craziest thing I ewer owned, the tone, the sound, the craftmanship, the looks - it's all there! This bass is sick!

After playing headless Status Washburn S1000 for years, and owning several multiscale Dingwalls this thing caught my eye. And - damn man, I love it. I do like to slappa ma bass, so headless was kind of "my thing" right from the start, because it's...well, a bit snappier than the usual headed bass, and let's be honest - everybody is hot for the headless basses. And if they say they aren't -they are lying. At the same time after being session musician for several years I often found myself in need of a 5er, so a couple of Dingwalls have found their way to my possession. I fell in love with the multiscale concept, since it gives this remarkable same-tension-all-over-the-board feel, and the B just sound really tight in comparison to more standard 35". So when the EHB1005 hit the stores I had to try it out, and my first impression was...*drum roll*...ugh. It just fell a bit cheap-ish in my hands, kind of like a plastic bass. But after some time I still found myself waking up in the middle of a night having wet dreams about this monstrosity. I just had to try it out a bit more, so I got my hands on another one at a retail shop, and the second time I played it was a bit more like...well,ok? In the mean time I was really considering placing an order on a D-Roc 5 strings, but they weren't quite available at the time, and the 22-fret fretboard was a bit no-no for me. Luckily I got a hit on a pre-used black 1005MS, and...yes, I bought it, and weeeeeeell - after 2 months - I love it. It is one of the best basses I ever had - clear sound, (it does look cool), quite easy to play around the fretboard, works really well with FX, a TON of possibilities sound wise. I always liked SR-series, my first bass was an SR300, and the best bass I ever had was an SR700, but this is a solid challenger. Needless to say it became my main axe in both studio and live. Check it out on yt, or try one yourself - it works with pop, it does djent, it slaps, it rocks! If you don't have one - go get one. If you already have one - go get a second one!

Cool pedal, nice tracking and good sound. Would love to have an octave up function aswell
