Chris Wolstenholme Signature model
| Status Chris Wolstenholme signature Bass | |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Status Graphite |
| Used | 2012-08-12- |
| Body type | Alder encased in one-piece graphite composite |
| Neck joint | Neck-through |
| Body covering | High gloss lacquer |
| Wood | Alder body, wrapped in a carbon-graphite shell |
| Bridge | Mono-rail bridge units |
| Electronics | Master volume and pickup blend controls |
| Pickup(s) | 2 Status hum-cancelling pickups |
| Special circuits | Treble and bass active E.Q. plus bright switch, control orientation reversed, midrange boost circuit. |
This model is custom made for Chris. It's based on the Status S2-Classic, but differs in a few points from his forerunner:
- 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.
Probably, he first played his custom model at the Olympic Closing Cerenomy. It's unknown, if this model differs from the prototype model, wherefore it's unclear if he used the signature model first-time in 2012 or 2011. At the beginning of the The 2nd Law stadium tour Chris received, according to his tweet, three new custom basses. Two of them seem to be the signature basses. One has white-LED's embedded and a blue finish, the other one has red-LED's. The two new basses replaced the walnut and graphite Status S2-Classic.
