Get your STATUS-GRAPHITE basses out!

[djc63]

Yes it’s a kickass 5. I didn’t realise quite how much larger than the 4 string version they are until it arrived in the post and I almost sent it back. I’ve subsequently acquired a used hip shot A style bridge so may change it at some point.

I currently only have my Hybrid Music man, but I’m a long time status graphite enthusiast. 
here is my current USA sterling along with some of my previously owned Statii.

Really, really like the look of that first Status.

I was always a bit hesitant about graphite basses and necks, but the neck on my new Sterling...it's amazing.

Status Graphite B-2, ordered in June and received a couple weeks ago. Requested with the original neck fitting and pickup positions; this is a huge, heavy monster of a bass guitar but I love it :}

I appreciate that this is a long shot. Does anyone have a 34 inch bass with 16.5mm string spacing? If so, obviously not until this lockdown is over, would it be possible to have a go on it? 

You'd be free to have a go on any of mine (the last ever Buzzard anyone?!!) should you wish to.

So, if you have said bass and live somewhere near SE London or Kent you're more than welcome (when conditions allow) to pop over for a coffee and play some insane basses.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

Just been sent a photo of  me playing at the Duchess in Leeds, the Status Groove 5 string I had in the 90's . I chopped in a Jaydee Roadie Supernatural  for it from the shop in Castleford, now long gone. Not the best picture but wanted to make a contribution to the thread...

What are the 2 extra switches for @Rehsart, lights?

[Rehsart]

@bassfan

I asked Rob for soap bar mics with 2 way switching, single / dual coil to have even more sound possibilities.

I did not ask for the LEDs, I am not a fan and it allowed me to take a through-neck instead of a bolt on

The CW model has a wooden body too, it's made of alder but with woven graphite facings. In essence the CW is based on the S2 Classic with a few custom features.

You're probably thinking of the Stealth model or the old S2000 models

As @LeftyJ says the CW is still alder. For reference it weighs 8lb 6oz (exactly the same as my Stingray Special 4HH in fact).

Thanks. I was hoping it (the CW) might make a light 6 string. 4kilo for a 4 isn't bad (average) but as a 6 would probably be well over 5 kilo.  

Anyway Your looks a lovely 4

Couple of gratuitous pics this morning 😊

Here is my new to me Fretless 5. Perhaps someone knows something about what modell this is and what the troggle switch does?!

Very nice. It looks like an S2 to me. I may be wrong though 

[djc63]

Three position toggle switch for cut/flat/boost of mid frequencies used in conjunction with the middle black knob.

[bassfan]

I didn’t see the toggle question.  😂

Thanks☺
