Its standout feature is the flame maple top, hand-bent to elegantly contour the select alder body, creating a natural resonance that enhances your playing experience. This bass is equipped with cutting-edge electronics, including Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups that deliver a remarkably clean and dynamic tone, free from unwanted hum. Whether you prefer the strings-thru-body or top-load bridge, you'll enjoy a versatile and customizable setup.
