  • Neck: A 5-piece mahogany and walnut neck not only contributes to the structural integrity of the bass but also adds a nuanced tonal depth, enhancing both warmth and brightness.
  • Fingerboard: The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 400mm radius ensures smooth playability and comfort, facilitating quick fingering and slap techniques.

Playability

  • Nut: A molded nut with a width of 40mm offers comfortable string spacing for intricate playing styles without feeling cramped.
  • Neck Contour: The Thin U-shaped neck profile is designed for ergonomic comfort and fast play, suitable for extensive playing sessions without fatigue.

Hardware and Electronics

  • Tuners: LTD Vintage tuners provide excellent tuning stability, essential for maintaining consistent performance during long gigs or recording sessions.
  • Bridge: A Gotoh 201B-4 bridge is renowned for its reliability and precise intonation, ensuring that the bass plays in tune across all frets.
  • Pickups: Equipped with Fishman Fluence SB-1 pickups in both the neck and bridge positions, these pickups offer a dynamic range of tones from deep, growling lows to crisp highs. The pull tone function for single-coil mode adds significant versatility, allowing players to switch between thick, traditional bass tones and sharper, more articulate sounds.
  • Electronics Layout: The layout includes individual neck and bridge volume controls and a master tone knob with a push/pull function, offering extensive tonal customization.

Aesthetic and Extras
