Davy Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Never been gigged? I'm not surprised. If that was mine I'd be frightened to take it out of the house in case it got damaged. GLWTS
Kev Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1422124135' post='2669015'] That's lovely. Bubinga top and body of?? Is that mahogany? [/quote] I was thinking Walnut, but could be mahogany.... I'm not up on this model, what do all those knobs do! I'd guess some kind of semi parametric EQ based on the name...
sgh Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 It is indeed a Walnut body & has an Alder Binding. The Paramatrix circuit is explained below courtesy of Status: [size="-1"]The KingBass Paramatrix is the result of over 12 years development. A radical active EQ design and Tri-Max pickups are at the centre of the transformation. The EQ includes both treble and bass controls plus dual parametric circuits, all working independently to allow a vast range of tones. Bass control = +/- 12dB shelved from 100Hz Treble control = +/-14dB shelved from 10KHz Each parametric circuit operates around a different range of frequencies : Low = +/- 10dB variable between 85Hz and 850Hz High = +/- 12dB variable between 1.5KHz and 15KHz Each Status Tri-Max pickup uses a unique coil system and three position switch to select either side of the pickup individually or both at the same time.[/size] [font="Arial"][size="-1"][color="#ffffff"]All positions are fully hum-cancelling and, when combined together, allow 9 different options which can be blended together via the pickup balance pot.[/color][/size][/font] It really is an amazing bass & was the frst to be produced by Status, I believe the second went to some bloke called M.King ;-)
Kev Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Ta for the info, those pickups look great, remind me of the Warwick Twin-J pickups, and they are excellent too! Best of luck with the sale, it's a stunner!
big rob Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I love it, but i would never get my head around all the knobs and switches!!!!!

Davy Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 How many battery compartments? I'm only jealous because I can't afford it!
