A modern bass designed for precision and tuning stability
This bass embraces a decidedly contemporary approach: combining a multiscale design with roasted materials to optimize stability, tuning accuracy, and playing feel. The graphite reinforcements add extra stiffness to the neck, useful for handling temperature changes and demanding tunings, while maintaining ergonomics suited for long sessions.
For which bassists and styles?
Thanks to its extended scale on the low end and active/passive options, this bass is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking an instrument comfortable in modern rock, metal, fusion, funk, or pop. The multiscale helps the B string stay defined and firm under the fingers, while the G string maintains a more comfortable tension for fast runs, back-and-forth riffs, and right-hand dynamics.
The sound
The basswood body provides a balanced response and a natural midrange, ideal for maintaining clarity in a mix. The 5-piece roasted maple/walnut neck promotes a clear attack and good stability, while the roasted Birdseye maple fingerboard enhances precision and immediacy, especially appreciated for articulated playing. The medium stainless steel frets contribute to clarity, sustain, and durability (less wear over time).
On the amplification side, the Bartolini BH2 pickups (bridge and neck positions) offer a solid foundation, with a clean low register and usable mids. The active/passive switch allows switching between a more "direct" sound and a more sculptable approach, while the 3-position mid switch helps select the ideal presence range: attack and definition, warmth, or cut through the band depending on the context.
