PRS SE Kestrel Bass, Red Metallic

Full Description

Tone that conquers all

Play however you want to. You'll not be restrained by a bass that's unable to deal with a range of genres. That's thanks to the SE Kestrel's construction from four, yes four different tonewoods, giving you a truly one-of-a-kind tonal palette that can accommodate any playing style you decide to throw at it.

The go-to for the majority of high-end bass guitar bodies, alder wood brings wonderful depth and low-end definition into your playing. It's responsive, and will suit more bass-heavy music. A maple and walnut neck adds crispness, bringing your mid-range and high-end notes into full voice. Add in a rosewood fingerboard for added warmth, and you've got a distinctive-sounding bass that's perfect for fueling your creativity.

Slick, eye-catching style

An appearance that will turn heads. All eyes will be on you when you've got this SE Kestrel slung over your shoulder. Well, they'll be on your guitar. Which is almost as good. With a striking red metallic finish, the Kestrel will glint and sparkle beneath stage lights. Offset with a brilliant white pickguard that adds an extra air of coolness to this sensational instrument, this really is a bass that's destined to be the star of the show.

Scintillating single-coil sound

Fitted with a superb electronic system, the PRS Kestrel is ideal for live use. A duo of single-coil pickups brings power and a rawness in sound to your music, communicating every bass note with dynamism. They respond well to playing at high output levels, meaning you can crank up the volume on your bass without worrying about unwanted audio distortion. This is a bass that was born for the stage.

Ringing sustain

Never lose a note. PRS have crafted the SE Kestrel with a neck through construction to ensure that everything you play is heard clearly and with definition. This way of making a guitar has the effect of improving sustain. The result is an overall sound that's fuller and more audible. Your basslines will never get lost in the mix again.

Take your instrument anywhere

Keep your instrument protected, wherever you go. The PRS SE Kestrel includes a PRS gig bag at no extra cost to ensure you can always have this amazing bass with you, no matter where you travel. It makes transport simple, whether you're carrying the instrument on your person, taking it on public transport, or on the tour bus en route to gigs and shows. The padded gig bag will protect your guitar from minor bumps and scrapes, ensuring the beautiful finish always stays pristine.
