This bass has some very nice features. Firstly, the combination of maple and purpleheart gives the instrument a bright tone with great sustain. The instrument is light and very rigid and amazingly comfortable to play. It has a beautiful high gloss finish and looks very classy. The bass has a huge sound and more than enough tone for any bass playing situation.
Pickups are Nordstrand Big Singles which have an amazing tonal range. They are installed in custom purpleheart pickup covers. Combine that with the Aguilar OPB-3 electronics and this bass definitely delivers the goods! The sound is extremely punchy with a clear sustained low end.
This instrument was tinted to achieve a process called "Tiger Eye" The figure in the maple looks great. Colors are very warm. The compact body is very comfortable both sitting and standing, the neck profile is thin and feels more like a 5-string than a 6, even though the string spacing is 18mm.
