Single Cutaway Bass

Poplar Burl Top on Swamp Ash Body
-Produces a warm yet punchy high-midrange sound that will cut through the mix with authority.

Bartolini MK-1 Pickups
-Delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.

Bartolini MK-1 EQ
-Provides powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. The MK-1 transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 3-band equalizer for a variety of applications ranging from studio recording to large concert halls. It also provides a switchable active/passive mode for a powerful modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.

Hipshot TransTone Bridge
-The string-thru-body and top-load construction facilitates greater tonal range while adding punch and enhancing sustain, perfectly complementing the longer 34? scale?s tighter string tension and focused sound.

5pcs Maple & Panga Panga Neck
-Results in superb playability, feel and tonal definition.

Neck-Thru Body Construction
-The strings vibrate across the body and neck in coherent and linear manner, maximizing the tightness of the low-end with rich mids and singing highs.

Hipshot Ultralite Machineheads
-Classic 20:1 tuning ratio, made of cast zinc with aluminum strings posts and mounting nuts, resulting in 30% weight reduction over other regular tuners and which results in improved balance and tuning accuracy.

Panga Panga Fingerboard
-Produces a tight and coherent sound that mates extremely well with the instrument?s multi-laminate neck-thru-body construction.
