Series-3

The Status Bass Evolution Continues...

Click for larger image

The Status Series-3 is a combination of my finest design features developed over the last 30 years.

The Classic Status body profile is retained but it now sports a generous arch to the front face.
A more defined front edge features a distinctive faux binding, complimenting the facing and back woods.

The woven carbon graphite through-neck is set into the main body before the facing veneers are laminated and vacuum pressed on.
This reveals more of the fine woods used in this stunning instrument.

The 24 fret phenolic fingerboard has a regular 34" scale as standard but the 32" scale, BendWell option and 16.5mm string spacing are available as custom options.

We recommend using Status Hotwire, double-ball strings on all headless basses but regular single-ball strings can also be fitted.
They can be locked into the head-piece with the Allen screws we supply with the bass.

Hotwire strings are all stainless steel and available single and double-ball :
round-wound, half-wound, flat-wound and black nylon.
