kumimajava Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I have an opportunity to acquire a 6-string Status Graphite Stealth, but it's one which is equipped with the Bendwell option. I've also enjoyed playing shorter scale basses, so the 32-inch scale would probably work in terms of ergonomics - but i'm not sure how the low-b would behave. Sadly - this would be a remote purchase, so "try and see" is not an option at the moment. I've looked far & wide, and not found much information Status 5 and 6 strings with the bendwell. Indeed, I couldn't find a single Youtube or other sample clip. So: for anyone who has owned/played a bendwell-equipped status 5/6 string - could you please share your experience? And of course, any sample clips that I might have missed would be most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I’d love a 32” six string, that would pretty much be my ideal config for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Just like my Status Electro II 6 Jonas Hellborg model from November 2001 in pristine condition : The low B here is very well defined with the Thomastik JR (nickel roundwound) fitted for the moment. I'll put some Fodera stainless steel roundwounds later (medium scale as it's a 82 cm scale, Jonas Hellborg being Swedish, the scale is in metric measure which gives 32 9/32 inches scale in imperial measure). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is stunning. Would love one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazed Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 That is an interesting bass. You have fine taste Mr Hellzero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
