Good luck to Rob, I hope his treatment goes well.

I've had 3 Statii and they've all been excellent.

    Oh I'm glad he is recovering. That is a huge shame but it seems understandable.

    I don't think this will be the end. Highly regarded basses so no doubt eventually someone else may take over.

    Lovely basses. I still have one, my second, and Status are my preferred bass strings.

    Could be - but then again Pedulla and Vigier decided to just call it a day and not sell up.

    I suppose they haven’t been as visible as they used to be, but Muse, Mark King, V-Man (Slipknot) and others have signature models and the quality is amazing.

    Not for long - he's announced it somewhere that he's calling it a day. Not sure if the order book is still open or not.

    Done a quick google search and it seems Vigier have now stopped orders and will cease to operate altogether the end of next year. A real shame because they're amazing.

    Hope to get my hands on one some day
