Status Shark
Made in the U.K.
24 frets, narrow, ultra slim and very flat neck. Optimal access to the upper frets.
Single high-output level pickup.
Very easy to use: only two controls (volume and tone).
Hand-made with European woods (wild cherry wood and maple).
UTILIZATION
Rather light, well-balanced, very long neck, very compact head and small machine heads.
You might need some time to get used to the neck because it feels quite special (Ibanez-type) but it's comfortable (I was able to set the action pretty low).
SOUNDS
Powerful, accurate and twangy sound, ideal for slapping.
I read somewhere that its sound is a mix of a Jazzbass and a Stingray...
OVERALL OPINION
This bass has an original look and a good manufacturing quality. It's easy to use but I think it doesn't match all styles.
I miss a neck pickup for more versatility (I might add it later though).
Very good bass guitar.
