Isn't it great when your fiancee buys you one of these for your 40th birthday (even if it is three months early - not that I'm complaining)?

All chrome hardware, except the D-tuner which is gold. Side LEDs are blue.
What an astonishing instrument!

Very unique! Sweet ... is it an Alembic?
-
No, it's a Status Graphite Buzzard.
-
Roger ...mmmmmm ...very nice Status. I heard very good things about playability and sound of the Status basses. Still love the S2 Classic but WITH the headstock.
Nice catch.
Paul the bad one
PS: ...euh ...can I lend your fiancee for some months ...I'll turn to 50 in june.

Roger your a lucky guy !! what an excellent birthday present, was it a total surprise ?
if it was.........I'd be speechless getting such a gift.
I had plans to get one with gold hardware, blue graphite tint and blue LED's, I also had my eye on the Mark King Artist, not really a fan of headless basses, but the bend well is an interesting idea, I'd give it a try. I spoke with Rob, great guy, very helpful..........there may be a Status or 2 for me in the future.
good luck with your most excellent present.

As always, thanks for your kind comments folks!
Paul - the playability and sounds it's capable of left me breathless. That headstock takes some getting used to though!!!!
Beelee - No, it wasn't a total surprise - her offering to buy me one was the real surprise!
I originally wanted one with a blue tint and gold LEDs, but as my fiancee had offered to buy it for my birthday, I felt she had to right speak up regarding the specification. I have to say that I'm pleased I listened, it looks very modern in graphite and chrome I think.

Roger,
SWEET, that sure is way up on the GREAT GIFTS LIST.
Nice addition to your collecton.
Best of luck.

That's really cool Roger. It looks like it's about to jump to life and attack! More like a bird of prey than a Bass. It reminds me of the Dragon Wing. Do you have a preference?
I suppose that receiving something like that as a gift from someone you love makes it that much more special.
Congratulations and happy birthday Roger! You're a very lucky guy in many ways.
Cheers,
Rami

Roger,
Very cool, pal. Enjoy....the bass and the fiance!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY..
Hey Rami, nice to hear from you...
-
Congratulations Roger...that's a beautiful instrument. You have a great fiancee there, as well.
My 40th birthday was last month, and when my wife asked what I wanted and I mentioned a bass, she began laughing hysterically before I could even get into specifics. Oh well, I'll just have to keep saving my pennies.

For my upcoming fiftieth my wife is letting me get myself a custom Further. Ain't true love grand?

My 50th is coming up in a couple of months and I'm hoping the wife will let me buy new strings and a couple of 9-volt batteries.
Bill, true love is grand. It just doesn't give me the nod for a new bass EVERY year. I have gotten 3 in the last 4 years, so I don't have any complaints.

For the record, for my 50th, last december, my wife bought me a really really nice Fender American Jazz Bass. I have been wanting one for a few years. Guess I longed for it since I sold my '62 !!! (D'OOOh)
-
Rog,
many congrats to this beauty. I am jealous. But as you know I do own a Buzz 2 so I am on my way to the Buzz 1.
I think you are as satisfied with your Buzz 1 as I am with my Buzz 2.

Well, I'd have to say that we're generally not the youngest of WWW groups! 50/50 whether or not the bass I recently ordered will be ready for my 40th.

my wife promised to not cheat on me for my 50th
she lied...
lmao

Grumble rumble...mine wears a '68 Gibson on her left hand, and I try not to remind her of it too often. Ho-hum.
Hell of a nice bass ya got there, lad. Like a sinister DW.

God Bless you, your Fiancee, and your pending nuptuals. I was lucky if my ex-fiancee would carry my bass to a gig! Beautiful bday gift.

That would be the lovely Miss Jacqueline I assume. As we say here in the Ole South, you done good, Son.
I know I had a 40th birthday but sure don't remember much about it.
Flax, my wife and I made a deal a long time ago. Neither of us would cheat unless the other was present. So far it's worked.

Rog: Does she have a single younger sister? LOL!
-
Wish I'd got one of those for my 21st last year!
I really must find a wife (or fiancee!) myself who is that generous!
Seriously though, it really is a great bass, and not too heavy I believe, from what John said.
