Status Graphite Kingbass Mk 2 Bass (43 - Level 42)

Bass riff from a song called 43 by level 42 with some cool flanging effects and a little midi track I made. Thought I'd show off the new addition to the family. The collection: a fretted and a fretless bass my Dad made before he learnt how to play, a beautiful 1984 JayDee that he saved up for ages to get and a quilted maple Status Kingbass mk2 with blue LEDs. Great Christmas Present!!!!

what's the neck like on this Status i.e. close to a Jazz or Precision?

[MrMel0dy]

@baceace This bass has 16.5mm (Mark King) string spacing at the bridge so towards the bridge the neck is quite thinner than both Fenders. The spacing at the nut is a little larger than a Jazz so the neck is probably a bit thicker than a Jazz towards the nut. I think the fretboard radius is larger than a Jazz. It's a quick neck though, very consistent and it is quite thin on the opposite side of the fretboard and stays thin right until it meets the body due to the strength of the carbon fiber.

Your hair is awful.

[MrMel0dy]

@black1swan2green3 LOL. I'm a one haircut a year kind of guy.

[jujucaster]

Is it normal that I have your bass on the right and the beat on the left?

[MrMel0dy]

@jujucaster Yes. It's just the weird way I managed to record the audio from the bass and the little midi track I made on my computer all at once.
