During Showbiz, OoS tours, Chris equiped his basses with Elites 40-100 stainless steel strings.<ref>[http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=959 2002 Bass Guitar Magazine Interview]</ref> He then switched to using a couple of unknown brands. After that, he moved to DR Strings at around 2006 and has been using them ever since. According to Wolstenholme, the DR Strings retain the brightness even after being played for one gig, which is why he chose them.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=627896448019156</ref> He's currently using DR MR-45 Hi-Beam roundcore 45-105 stainless steel strings. He has also been seen with the DR Neon color coated strings with the colours of the British flag during the [[London Olympic Stadium 2012 (gig)|2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony]] performance, allthough he has not actually played them live.

== Straps ==
Part of the [[Will of the People World Tour]].


Wolstenholme mainly uses leather straps from Status Graphite. Before that (BH&R and The Resistance tours) he has been using the ones from Manson Guitar Works - the same as Bellamy uses. Previously, he used a few unknown-brand leather straps.
== Information ==


== [[Will of the People (album)|Will Of The People]] ==
The gig was announced on November 28th, 2022. Muse will be headlining the 2023 NorthSide festival in Århus, Denmark, alongside [[The 1975]], [[White Lies]] and more.<ref>https://northside.dk/en/artists/</ref>


Despite not as much footage from the recording of the upcoming album released yet, a few of Chris's basses and other gear were spotted in the L.A. studio at which they were recording the album here and there. From a [https://www.instagram.com/p/CX6KyANuNT8/ video] posted by [[Aleks Von Korff]], touring the studio, a previously unseen pedal, the JHS 4 Wheeler Bass Fuzz, can be seen sitting next to a ZVex Woolly Mammoth on the control desk. It is unknown though, whether or not the pedal is actually going to be used in the album, or if it was just used for demo track purposes. The butterscotch 1973 Jazz Bass can also be seen sitting in the studio.
Muse's first show in Århus in more than 20 years, last performing here in [[Århus Voxhall 2001 (gig)|2001]].


On the short clips of Matt and Dom talking about the Origin of Symmetry RemiXX, an Ampeg SVT-VR can be seen in the studio's live room, sitting on top of an Ampeg 4x10 cabinet, aswell as a Markbass SD 1200 head next to them.<ref>https://youtu.be/VABzIa6fjiI?t=25</ref>
== The show ==


In another [https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiXIHfrqOM/ post by Aleks Von Korff], two Dunlop Bass Wah pedals can be seen in the studio, used for [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]]. Additionally, either a pedal or a plugin version of the Geiger Counter distortion/bit crusher was used in combination with the wah, as noted on the Pro Tools session seen in the video. A few weeks later, Muse posted a TikTok video, with Chris playing WSD on his signature Status black 5-string bass, meaning it was likely used for the song, due to the drop-B tuning.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@muse/video/7060196209272704262</ref>
The gig had the same setlist as the [[Atlanta Central Park 2023 (gig)|Shaky Knees Festival]] show, with the stage setup also being the same.


For live shows, he returned back to having an expression pedal for a wah on-stage, used for [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]]. Chris (and Matt) also had a smaller version of RJM Music Mastermind GT/22's on stage, the Mastermind GT/10, due to the size of the stage, for the secret [[Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig)|Cavern Club]] gig in April 2022. As far as basses go, Chris added two new basses to his setup; The [[Status Stealth|Status Stealth 5-string]] and the [[Status S2-Classic 5-string|Status S2-Classic 5-string]], the latter one used as the Status Stealth replacement. A large change in Chris's set up is that he has now ditched all miked cabinets, according to Muse's monitor tech, Liam Tucker. Instead, he is using Fractal Audio units for cab simulation.<ref>https://mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?m=19395&i=792822&p=28&ver=html5</ref>
Chris's handlebar moustache, and with it, [[The Legend of Pedro]], returned, after 15 years.

[[File:MuseSTBass.jpg | thumb | right | 280px | Chris's bass tech with gear used on the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]]]]
 
For the 2017 North American Summer Amphitheatre Tour, Chris mostly kept the same setup as for the Drones tour. He only added two new basses: The new graphite-covered green-LED [[Status The KingBass Mk-II|Status The KingBass Mk-II]] and the [[Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass Mk2|new version of the Status Kitara Doubleneck Bass]] for Madness. For the Simulation Theory tour, he also kept the setup fairly similar, but he used three new basses (including the Keyboard Bass) and switched from the Skrydstrup MR10 system to an RJM Effect Gizmo system. A couple of new stompboxes were also added, and the bulky Kemper profilers were replaced with slightly smaller rack-mount verisons.
 
In the studio, while making [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], Chris has been seen using [[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 his [[Status Chris Wolstenholme Signature Bass|Status signature basses]]. The Ampeg SVT-VR was used yet again in the studio setup, but an [[Ashdown BTA-400]] head was seen for the first time being used by Wolstenholme. According to Chris, he wanted to use more of the old Fender Jazz Bass sound due to the album having an 80s feel, as opposed to mainly using Status bass guitars, which have a more modern sound. Wolstenholme also mentioned, while speaking to John Kennedy on Radio X, that another difference, compared to recording previous albums was, that they've mostly recorded Simulation Theroy with clean bass going straight into the console, giving them the flexibility to manipulate the sound later, in the DAW.

[[Image:CHRISDRONESSETUP.jpg|thumb|right|Drones live rack setup]]
[[File:DronesRack2.jpg|thumb|right|Another view of the Drones live rack setup]]
During the recording of Drones, Chris mainly used Status bass guitars again, allthough a Rickenbacker and the Gibsons were also spotted in the studio. Most of the time, he ran them through his Ampeg SVT-VR head for the clean channel and two Marshall DBS 7400s for distorted channels. It's also possible he used Markbass SD 1200 heads for clean occasionally. Later, for the cover of New Kind of Kick, he likely used a Gretsch Thunder Jet, seen in the video, in the studio. In terms of effects, he included a few new stompboxes. In the studio, he used a ZVex Basstortion, a Mt'Lab Fat Humster and a Pigtronix Disnortion. The latter one, he also uses live for Psycho's bridge parts.
 
As for the live setup, Chris kept his collection of rack gear and basses roughly 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. The rack was almost exactly the same as with the T2L tours with two Kempers and two Markbass SD 1200 heads, plus the afforementioned Disnortion pedal. The only change that occured during the tour was the switch from Liquid Foot Pro MIDI foot controllers to more customisable RJM Music's Mastermind GT/22 MIDI controllers.

For The 2nd Law, Chris kept the same studio setup as he used on The Resistance tour, but included more pedals (seen in the picture, above the racks) and two [[Markbass SD 1200]] heads. Live, he replaced the Marshall DBS 7400 amps completely with the afforementioned SD 1200s (clean channels) and two [[Kemper Profiling Amplifier]] heads (for overdrive channels), with the DBS 7400 amps all profiled.
 
With Status bringing out his signature model, for live gigs, he ditched most of the Fender Jazz Basses, the Rickenbacker and the Gibson Ripper, and started playing Status basses almost exclusively.

[[Image:ChrisAmpeg.jpg|thumb|right|Chris in the studio]]
[[Image:MUSE-BASS_TECH-S.jpg|thumb|right|Bass Player Magazine - Chris' tour setup]]
For The Resistance era, Chris expanded his setup even more, especially in terms of the rack gear. This was also the first tour that Chris started using Status basses with the first one being the [[Status Original Series II]]. He changed the switching systems, swapping out both the on-stage and off-stage controllers from Rocktron's All Access to FAMC's Liquid Foot Pro, and ditching the Sound Sculpture Switchblade GL, instead opting for two Skrydstrup MR10 looper units.
 
Both the studio and live setups were the same, excluding the bass and amp selection, with an Ampeg SVT-VR head spotted in the studio.

[[Image:MUSE-BASS_TECH-S1.jpg|thumb|right|On-stage board]]
Not much is known about Chris' gear during the BH&R era as there were little to no pictures of his gear taken during the period, however it is known that Chris started using Fender Jazz Basses a lot more frequently. He also ditched the on-stage amps/cabs halfway through the tour, and started miking them backstage. Instead, he only opted for an on-stage subwoofer, so he could still feel the sub low end, and he also took away the MIDI foot pedal controller. Based on the pictures, Chris (like Matt) stayed with an All Access controller and a Sound Sculpture Switchblade GL, before upgrading.
 
Based on some interviews, Chris added four more Marshall DBS 7400 heads to his setup, having eight in total.<ref>https://www.mixonline.com/live-sound/all-access-muse-367983</ref>

With the evolving complexity of Muse's sound, for the Absolution tour, Chris moved all of his pedals, other effects and amps into the rack. Both him and Matt got into MIDI switching systems, with their techs switching the effects on or off; A system, which they still use. Specifically, they moved to Rocktron's All Access switcher, controlling the Sound Sculpture Switchblade GL.
 
Wolstenholme also got two more of the Marshall DBS 7400 bass amplifiers into the rig, meaning he could now run two amplifiers for effects (one running an Animato pedal and another one running a Big Muff pedal) and another amplifier running clean, with the fourth amplifier serving a back-up amp. In terms of effects, he added in a Line 6 Bass POD XT Pro and two Line 6 Bass POD Pro multi-effects units, two Line 6 Filter Pro rack units,  aswel as two pedals; a DigiTech Bass Synth Wah and a Boss PS-3 Pitch Shift.

During the OoS tour, Chris got his Marshall DBS 7400 Dynamic Bass System amplifiers and cabinets. He also got a Black Russian Big Muff Pi and a Human Gear Animato pedal, aswell as an Akai Deep Impact SB1 Bass Synth pedal. The combination of these two pedals remain part of his staple sound to this day.

Allthough amplifiers and basses remained the same, Chris used two effects setups during the Showbiz era; On some early gigs, he only used the Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion, plugged into the Pete Cornish Line Selector and running into the amps.
