== Information & Background ==


Chris mainly uses leather straps from Status Graphite these days, but has been seen using ones from Manson Guitar Works in the past - the same as Bellamy uses.
First seen in 2012, [[Chris Wolstenholme | Chris]] used this bass for the song [[Madness (song)| Madness]]. The bass is incredilby unique in that the top half of the bass is a [[Misa KItara]], cut to fit the frame of the body, and the bottom half is a [[Status S2-Classic|Status S2-Classic headless]]. The bass is likely tuned to standard (EADG).  


== [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]] ==
Due to the Misa Kitara being prone to failure, Chris had three of them built for backup purposes. The bass was later succeeded by the improoved and re-painted [[Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass Mk2|Mk2] version in 2017, which ditched the Kitara completely.


In the studio, Chris has been seen using a [[Fender_Jazz_Bass#Fender_Jazz_Bass_1973_.28butterscotch_finish.2Frosewood_fretboard_with_pearloid_block_inlay.29|'73 Jazz Bass]], a [[Fender_Jazz_Bass#Fender_Jazz_Bass_1977_.28sunburst_finish.2Fmaple_fretboard_with_pearloid_block_inlay.29|'77 Jazz Bass]] and [[Status Chris Wolstenholme Signature Bass|Status basses]]. An Ampeg SVT-VR and Ashdown BTA 400 heads were also part of his studio setup. During a 2018 interview on Virgin Radio Italy, Matt mentioned Chris also used a [[Misa Kitara]] for [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It To Me]] in the studio.
== Touring ==


When speaking to John Kennedy on Radio X, he mentioned that, as opposed to previous albums being recorded with a live rig (giving them a set tone when done tracking), they've mostly recorded Simulation Theory with clean bass going straight into the console, which gave them flexibility to manipulate the sound later in the DAW.  
The bass debuted at the [[Stockholm SVT 2012 (gig) | SVT]] on the 13th of September 2012 where it was used for Madness. It was tuned to standard (EADG).

During the tour, he acquired a new black/maple fretboard Fender Jazz Bass, a new Black/Stealth 5-String and a custom LED-Strip Status bass.
 
According to Chris's bass tech Jon Ashworth, the sound is based around the Markbass SD1200 heads running through the Markbass 1x15 cabinets and distortion is layered on top of that either through Kempers or through individual pedals, which are connected to RJM Switching Systems.

== [[Drones (album) |Drones]] ==
 
During the recording of Drones, Chris mainly used Status bass guitars, allthough a Rickenbacker and a Gibson Grabber were also spotted in the studio. He ran them through an Ampeg SVT-VR head for the clean channel and two Marshall DBS 7400s for distorted channels. Later, for the cover of New Kind of Kick, he likely used a Gretsch Thunder Jet, seen in the video, in the studio.
 
As for the Drones tour, Chris kept the bass setup the same as for The 2nd Law tour, with the 5-string Jazz Bass making a return for a couple of Assassin performances. The Chris Wolstenholme Status Graphite 5-String bass also made appearances for Assassin. Chris switched from Marshall to Markbass heads and Markbass cabinets for the Drones tour. The Kemper amps serve for the two distortion/fuzz channels, one for Big Muff and another one for Animato. He also uses an Empirical labs Distressor.

The Gibson Ripper hasn't been seen live, but Chris' bass tech, [[Shane Goodwin]], has mentioned it in a short interview for Dunlop TV. However, it is possible he mistook this bass for the Gibson Grabber, as it is seen in the interview.
As from the Status Graphite basses, he first used the [[Status Original Series II]] headless in the studio recording "The Resistance". During the Resistance tour he received all his following status basses.

Stated in the Bass Guitar Magazine from 2009 as,

Both of these cabs are debatable, as in the DunlopTV interview Shane Goodwin says Chris uses two 215 cabs and one 115 cab.
 
The cabs actually used will more likely be,
 
* 2x Marshall DBS 7215
* 1x Marshall DBS 7115
 
There is the possibility of the use of some custom Mills cabs, however, there is no mention of Chris on the Mills website.

Chris Wolstenholme playing the Doubleneck Bass
Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass Mk 2
Manufacturer Status Graphite/Misa
Used 2012-09-13
Body type Alder encased in one-piece graphite composite
Neck joint Bolt-on
Body covering Satin black paint
Wood Alder body, wrapped in a carbon-graphite shell
Bridge Mono-rail bridge/tuners
Electronics Master volume, pickup blend control

Information & Background

First seen in 2012, Chris used this bass for the song Madness. The bass is incredilby unique in that the top half of the bass is a Misa KItara, cut to fit the frame of the body, and the bottom half is a Status S2-Classic headless. The bass is likely tuned to standard (EADG).

Due to the Misa Kitara being prone to failure, Chris had three of them built for backup purposes. The bass was later succeeded by the improoved and re-painted [[Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass Mk2|Mk2] version in 2017, which ditched the Kitara completely.

Touring

The bass debuted at the SVT on the 13th of September 2012 where it was used for Madness. It was tuned to standard (EADG).
