Information
This model is custom made for Chris. It's based on the Status S2-Classic, but differs in a few points from his forerunner:
- 5-string Model
- The bridge pickups has been moved away from the bridge by 20mm to make the right-hand technique a little more flexible.
- The neck pickup has also been moved towards the fingerboard by 10mm which makes the tone a little warmer.
- Volume / pickup balance and bass / treble controls have been reversed when compared to a standard Status bass. This has no effect on the way the controls operate, it's just a personal preference Chris has.
- A new midrange control has been fitted : this has individual controls for both mid frequency and mid cut / boost. This allows you to pin-point the exact midrange frequency then adjust exactly how much is to be boosted or cut. This midrange control can be pre-set and there is an on/off switch to by-pass it completely.
- Chris also specified front LEDs as a custom option. His main bass currently has blue LEDs (red, green, amber and white are also available)
- Black hardware is standard on Chris' basses (gold and chrome are also available)
- Individual mono-rail bridge units are fitted as standard.
