Custom-voiced for versatility
A tone that always has you covered. No matter the genre. The
Hagstrom Viking Bass is equipped with a pair of Dyna-Rail
humbuckers, gifting players with an expertly balanced sound and
sublime clarity. Ultimately, a bass needs to be capable of punching
through a dense mix. Which is why Hagstrom have ensured that the
Viking hosts all the warm, booming bass tone that's required in
live performance.
But what makes the Viking rise above the rest is its immense
versatility. And it's all thanks to the unique 6-way rotary pickup
selector that features in its electronics. The functions of this
selector are two-fold: pickup switching, and coil-splitting.
Positions 1-3 let the humbuckers act as single-coils, producing a
brighter, twangier sound. Alternatively, positions 4-6 utilise the
Dyna-Rail's rich, warm humbucker voice. And, with tone and volume
controls for each pickup, the power truly is with the player to
customise their sound as they wish. Flourish in every
performance.
Play to perfection
Smooth sailing. The combination of a Resinator wood fretboard
and Canadian hard maple neck makes for a flawless playing
experience. The resinator fretboard is incredibly stable, with a
bright, punchy tone similar to ebony. This helps to add detail to
each note you play, and make it more prominent. The neck also has a
bright resonance, whilst being more than smooth enough to allow
your hand fluid manoeuvrability across the entire fretboard. You'll
play tighter and cleaner than ever before.
The unmistakable semi-hollow sound
Your warmest bass sound. The semi-hollow body of the Hagstrom
Viking bass gives it a loud, proud voicing with a superb resonance.
Two carved 'f' holes add a beautiful aesthetic, whilst the body
itself rings out with unmistakable warmth and vibrance. It also
provides a strong sustain to help you extend your notes out and
make each note fill the room. That's all in addition to it looking
absolutely stunning.
