Why do Status use graphite bass necks?
The carbon graphite material used in Status bass guitar necks is extremely strong, which helps with stability and playability over long periods of time. In addition, Status claim that the material is naturally more resonant that most wooden necks, which aids in note definition, clarity, and tone, while reducing the likelihood of deadspots across the neck.
The neck feel is also quite different to a traditional bass neck and many players value it for that alone, going as far as putting Status necks onto other bass bodies just so they have the benefits of graphite technology.
How do Status basses sound?
Status use active preamps in their basses and have done so for the vast majority of their output. The 3-band EQ preamp and pickup combination deliver a clean and modern sound with plenty of punch and bass content, along with the capability to deliver smoother tones with the versatility of the EQ options onboard.
Are Status basses heavy?
You might think that the alternative materials make Status basses heavy, but the truth is that the graphite materials are not fundamentally heavier or lighter than other materials.
Status basses range from 8lbs to 10 lbs, which falls in line with most other basses, but it’s always worth checking the weight of the specific instrument you’re looking at. We weigh every bass at BassBros and the information can be found in the product specifications.
