The
S2-Classic is the ultimate combination of traditional and modern
guitar design.
Woven carbon graphite and selected exotic woods are combined
to create a bass which sounds even better than it looks. It has
a wide, even frequency response with huge dynamics and sustain.
As with all Status instruments, the graphite neck is fully adjustable
to
allow you to set the relief to suit your playing style.
The original, now classic, Status bass was the headless version
pictured below.
Headed and headless models are available... all in 4, 5 and 6
strings and now
both right and left handed. |

Board 303
EQ
The
303 active circuit is used on many Status basses
including the S2, S3, Stealth and KingBass.
It is quite simple but still able to provide a huge tonal range.
Master volume and pickup blend are standard, as on all Status
basses,
with the addition of bass and treble, cut / boost controls
plus a variable frequency midrange.
This midrange control works in conjunction with the 3-position
switch :
In the centre position the midrange is 'flat'
With the switch down the midrange is boosted
With the switch up the midrange is cut
The central tone pot alters the frequency, somewhat like a parametric,
between 300Hz and 3KHz with a fixed boost and cut of approximately
6dB.
This switch allows a pre-shape to be set and easily selected
mid song.
