A powerful performer. The single H-1 Alnico Humbucker offers everything you could ever want from a pickup. It is active, offering a high output sound which is bound to set your ears on fire. It uses an Alnico magnet for a strong, well rounded voice, and has more than enough dynamism to give you a wide range of different tones.
There's three-band active EQ for precise control over your sound. You can dial in a pristine, punchy voice which pummels through the mix or add plenty of luscious low end for a deeper, darker sound. If you think having a single pickup is limiting – think again. This pristine humbucker glows with red hot tone and will help you deliver a huge sound every time you play.
Ultimate precision
Play to perfection. If you want total control over the fretboard, this bass will happily oblige. It's got a smooth, roasted maple neck which allows you to play with complete accuracy. Your hand will have no trouble gliding over its smooth surface as you fly between notes in unparalleled style. As such, you'll feel natural expressing yourself on this instrument, with each note all the way up the cutaway body feeling well in reach. It is also slim, meaning you can blitz through basslines at lightning speed. Play without limits.
Flawless fretboard
You'll instantly fall in love with the maple fretboard. It's dense, smooth, and resonant, offering your fingers one slick ride when you’re playing through songs. Also adding some brightness to your tone, it balances out the warmth from the mahogany body and brings out more punchiness in each note. With this, you can easily bring your basslines to life, and they will jump out with bite and clarity.
Your bass fortress
It's got all the goods. There's a solid Standard Sterling Bridge helping to lock down the strings, so you can always play in tune. It is supported by open-gear tuning machines, which also help to keep your tuning well and truly in check. The beautiful white wood grain adds a stunning aesthetic to the bass's image, while the swamp ash body provides tone with sizzling sustain. Coming in a beautiful black finish and boasting mountains of power, this instrument will take your playing to lofty heights.
