Benefits

EMG Bass-Pickups

EMG pickups are state-of-the-art, popular pickups for electric guitars and basses, known for clear sound reproduction, low noise and versatility. With their active technology, they produce a strong, interference-resistant signal, especially in high-gain situations. Available in various versions, they offer vintage to modern sounds and enable flexible sound adjustments with features such as push-pull potentiometers. Particularly appreciated in rock and metal, EMG pickups are characterized by reliability and first-class sound quality.

Grover® Bass-Tuner

Grover® tuners are high-quality, precise tuning mechanisms. As key components for tuning stringed instruments, Grover® tuners are designed to ensure stable tuning while allowing for easy and precise fine-tuning.

Neck-Thru Bass

A "Neck-Thru" neck represents a sophisticated and high-quality construction. In contrast to basses with screwed or glued necks, the neck extends through the entire body of the bass. A key advantage of the neck-thru design is improved string transfer and longer sustain. Another plus point is easier access to higher frets. Due to the continuous neck, bassists can easily play up to the highest frets without a neck-body connection getting in the way.

Bass Fretboard: Rosewood

A rosewood fretboard is characterized by a warm, resonant tone quality. The density and structure of rosewood help the string vibrations to be transmitted efficiently, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with emphasized lows, clear mids and silky highs.

Flamed Maple Top

The Flamed Maple wood is characterized by a striking pattern called "Flame" or "Tiger Stripe". This distinctive, flamed grain not only gives the guitar a visually appealing aesthetic, but also contributes to its tonal character. In terms of sound, the Flamed Maple top offers a balanced mix of brightness, sustain and clarity.
