Status Bass (12T Feb 84)

muzines.co.uk

The Status Bass defies convention with its stunning combination of carbon graphite and exotic woods, delivering not only eye-catching aesthetics but also remarkable playability. The innovative tuning system enhances convenience, making string changes a breeze. While a slight hiss at maximum treble can be noted in active mode, the overall tonal versatility is impressive, providing a vast range of sounds to explore. Despite some initial skepticism about its unconventional design lacking a headstock, the reviewer found it to be surprisingly attractive and well-balanced. With superb craftsmanship and a price that reflects its quality, the Status Bass earns high praise for its musical capabilities and engineering.
