Full Description
View Full DescriptionPickups that punch
Loaded at the bridge and neck are Seymour Duncan SSB-4 pickups for fiery, articulate sound. They encompass mighty, punchy tonal properties that ensure your notes will fly like sparks, yet their passive nature means they also produce a subtler, more natural sound. And promising that hard-hitting growl, the low range frequencies of these pickups are dangerously defined for piercing clarity that can blaze through any mix. Such exceptional definition welcomes drop tunings, the deepest lows will still stand out.
Sculpt your sound
Innovation flows in abundance. For this bass, having fierce pickups and superb, muscular sound is just the tip of the iceberg... it’s the obscene levels of versatility that makes it so great. Tailor your sound using stacked bass/treble controls and a dedicated midrange control - they are superbly easy to use and won't ever disrupt your performance. Better still, the push/pull volume knob gives you the chance to experience slap bass voicing by engaging a specifically designed EQ contour. You can tweak the slap EQ contour via trim pots on the circuit board, so the preset is exactly how you like it. From articulate lows, to beefy mids, feel the thrill of a sound that is completely yours, whether you're in the studio or playing to a mesmerised audience.
An incredible build
If you're going to emit a tone swimming in excellence and sculpted to perfection, you'll want to do so with sumptuous playability. Thanks to a gloriously smooth maple neck with thin 'U' contour, silky playing and seamless sound is possible. Slide your fingers at rocket speed across 21 extra-jumbo frets; the fingerboard is also crafted from maple for enhanced attack and clarity. Go wild during those captivating, precise performances - such an exquisitely design neck and spectacular fretboard won't slow you down.
Showcased with a sleek and elegant double cutaway design is a swamp ash body. Ash is the ideal tonewood for any bassist who doesn't want to be limited in sound as it offers wonderful articulation along with an incredibly balanced tone, lending itself to the versatility of the instrument's electronics. And with a bolt-on construction, this bass has all that snappy sonic goodness for added bite and dynamics. It is supremely robust and durable, meaning it can handle any aggressive playing technique or fierce performance for years to come. And when you're granted the dazzling aesthetic of gold hardware and the unwavering quality of a Gotoh 404BO-4 bridge, you can be sure to look as amazing as you sound and have astounding craftsmanship on your side.
