The New Series was a concept Idea I had to basically offer what I felt was the most stable neck on the market in a light weight and a stylish design. Also loading it with the LEJ pickup placement and preamp setup which I have had a overwhelming response to and try and price them in a very comfortable price point for people. It was about filling a void in the market like I did with the LEJ's, not just building another bass! I wanted something people liked the design of but offering things others weren't or in a price point others weren't.

Thanks for the interest. There is also a 5 and a 6 string posted and I will have more detailed pictures up by tonight. If your at NAMM in Jan be sure to come by the LowEnd Distribution and Benavente Booth. We will have Browne, STR, LEJ, Benavente and more goodies to check out.

Cool! The 'Trinity' was always my favorite 'Divinity Guitar Works' shape. I'm glad it's being made in a regular, less over the top & less expensive line.

Obviously that was part of the influence of the design when I started trying to come up with a design for the consept, but the bottom horn was changed up and no cutout. The lines had to be brought to reality as well. This New bass is Not a Divinity though. The Headstock was also flipped and will carry a Logo on it. I always liked the design of the Divinity Headstock and felt with the Body design flipping it actually flowed well.

Price point is still being worked on, but I'm planning to be in the 3000-3500 mark!!!!! This is not to be an over the top custom instrument, basic choices like top and back, number of string's and finger boards are the basic choices.
