visog Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Wow! Red bass looks pretty intriguing? So you can get a great slap sound obviously but what else can you do with all them knobs 'n' switches? Edited March 15, 2014 by visog Quote
AndyTravis Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Got a Groove 5 to compliment my Kingbass. Lovely. http://instagram.com/p/k0PrtROQZD/ Quote
Merton Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I love Grooves, one day I'll get another 5er. When I don't have hideous bills to pay Quote
Shedua511 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 No real 100% Status basses yet, but 50% times four for me! Warmoth/Status fretted Jazz, Warmoth/Status fretless Jazz, Costanzo/Status fretless Stingray/Jzz hybrid, Grove/Status fretted Stingray. Quote
5stringdude Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Hmmm, I feel slightly overwhelmed by the quality of [Status] porn on here. Nevertheless, here's my own beautiful instrument, owned since new, made of wood, smells like wood, feels like wood, gives me.... thrills! Classic Status sound, looks, etc. It's a 1994 Energy V, ash body, maple neck, rosewood f'board, 1 x steel + twin graphite truss rods: [attachment=167225:IMG_0315.jpg] Quote
BassBus Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Nice one. Wooden necked Status basses are some of the best value basses out there. Quote
5stringdude Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks, BassBus, I will say it's done me proud over the years. Never goes out of tune (probably due to graphite truss rods) but has the warm sound of wood. I've never played a full graphite bass, but reading reviews/comments I get the impression they're very 'clinical' in tone. I'm not sure my rather untidy technique would suit it - finger style with occasional pick (I can't slap: tried, failed). Quote

Jimryan Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Mine aren't 100% status, but can I still play? My Squier VM Precision with a few mods. Well, I say a few, the only thing that's still original is the body and finish. Along with that I've got my Sterling ball SUB project that started completely stock and black. Now the only original part of it is the neck plate, bridge, battery box and body.

mr.noisy Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I am a fresh Status owner! But my bass certainly is not freshly made, it's a second hand S1 Quote
BassBus Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Oh my! That is very pretty. I don't usually go for heads on Status basses but that one looks lovely with the gold tuners. Any idea when the bass was built? Edited October 18, 2015 by BassBus Quote

To be honest I don't know anything about this bass, except the fact it sounds amazing. I know it must be a bit old because the gold hardware faded a bit in some points. I am considering dropping an email to Status and ask them a few bits about it. I really would like to know some more things about the electronics. It active, but I am not sure if the single battery is for the pickups, or if it has an active preamp. It seems like it is just a volume, balance and tone, but the tone pot has a centre notch to it, and I've never came across anything like that in a passive electronics. Also, this bass has the hottest output out of anything I had before, if I turn the volume pot all the way up, then my little markbass combo is shaking my whole room even with the lowest volume setting.

BassBus Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) The circuit has volume, blend and active treble cut/boost. The battery is for the circuit not the pickups. The circuit is more than likely the board 100. Details in the link below on the Status site. Go to 'online shop' then 'active circuits' and you'll find details of board 100 at the top of the page. http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html Edited October 19, 2015 by BassBus Quote
