Information
The Mk2 Doubleneck Bass was built during the Drones Tour with the original Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass prone to failure, as the plastic Misa Kitara is not an instrument built for heavy touring. As such, the Kitara screen has been replaced with an iPad, which is controlling a synthesizer in an off-stage laptop located by the bass tech via a wireless MIDI system. The plastic Kitara neck was replaced with a sturdier wooden neck which houses all the keyboard electronics and the buttons are laid on top of the wood.
The bass is likely tuned to standard (EADG). This double-neck bears a similarity to the White LED Status Chris Wolstenholme Signature Bass in Turquise Sunburst, except the bottom neck doesn't feature LED lights.
Touring
The bass has been used ever since 2017. It's been used for Dig Down & Madness.
