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.
