It's not just ground-breaking electronics that make this bass truly heavenly, but also the ash body and neck-through construction. Ash delivers a resonant tone that that encompasses a scooped midrange, allowing for some brightness to seep through. Its quick attack is ideal for fast fretting techniques and its articulate dynamic range promises a thrilling performance. The flame maple veneer top then adds more stability and grants you even more crisp articulation. Teaming with these brilliant tonewoods is a neck-through construction that produces shimmering sustain, ensuring those high frequencies ring out with beautiful transparency and crystal-clear definition. It delivers a superbly tight low end too, for both richness and fantastic attack. Complementing the neck-through construction is a Hipshot TransTone bridge. Its string-through-body and top-load build adds a real punch whilst its unwavering stability accommodates tight string tension and balances a focused sound with even more sustain.
Maple and walnut… a divine combination. Just the thought of it is scrumptious. But the sound is even better.

Its focused and tight tonal capabilities are perfect for gigging with because it means you will never be hindered by that dreaded muddy sound. Its walnut accompaniment then balances out such brightness with a woody midrange. Better still, walnut's tone becomes warmer with age, so you can count on years of spectacular playing and breath-taking sound.
