Went through their site a good amount while eating lunch here at work. They have some really cool products on there.
Question for anybody...they claim that the flow bass (the one the OP got) is one piece. The exact words are "one piece contruction". Unless I'm missing something that's borderline impossible unless they are using some kind of core and melting it out of there. I would assume they are manufacturing the sides and back as one piece then epoxying on the headstock front, fretboard, and top. Maybe someone more familiar with molds/molding can help me out? Maybe they do it like I think and since epoxy gives the CF it's rigidity anyway they are just saying it's one piece since it's epoxy on epoxy?
Note: I have 2 basses with Status Graphite necks, and absolutely love them.
Carbon Fiber Injection Molding?
Because our basses are made from a singular exoskeleton creating all the structural strength of the bass, it provides us with more freedom with the tone generating core of the bass
Thanks. That's a wrist killer for me like my Rickenbacker.
It's so hard to find someone that makes a short or medium scale bass anymore.

Beautiful. Cool henna too.
It is absolutely one-piece. I have no idea how they do it, but there are no seams. The weave goes all the way around smoothly just as it does on my X-10 acoustic (the Green X10 in their ads is mine).
It looks like on the site they paint a black line around the side of the bass close to the top (like where binding would be) for the exact reason of hiding a seam. Status does the exact same thing. Is yours different?
I'm genuinely curious as I am an engineer that works in manufacturing and tooling and I'd like to at least think I have a pretty good grasp on how things are made, but this thing if it really is 1 piece has me pretty confused.
Wow, never seen something like that, looks amazing, I love carbon fiber texture, looks so hi tech, love the color as well.
How much does it weight?
Great looking bass!
