Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas III's Signature. Sleep Token.

[Sauron_]

It's still hard to find, but it seems that this is going to be the next signature in Charvel's roster, III from Sleep Token.
I think is their first multiscale bass, and as far as I know it has alder body, roasted maple neck and fingerboard and Fishman electronics.
Sorry about the image, is the only one I could find.

If only it didn't have a reverse headstock….

Pretty cool

Pretty cool

Agreed. The headstock is awful IMO.

 

[Phormlyss]

I genuinely thought the question mark inlay was an issue with the picture for a minute. Overall not for me, but cool to see another multiscale.

Sleep Token's bassist is getting a signature bass? I like some of their songs, but this surprises me. I'm not a huge fan of the reverse 4+1.

I could be into the reverse headstock if it wasn't a 4 + 1 design.
I do like the black and red colors though.

 

[Ricky Rioli]

Presumably the reversed headstock to stop the D tuner being too far away

I don't find the reverser headstock awful, I find it weird...

Signature models are purely based on how well the company thinks they will sell, and Sleep Token are massive right now. If this is around or below the $2k range, it will sell

There's a bit of irony in that III and IV are only live members and don't appear on the studio albums. This might be the only time I can think of that a non-official band member gets a signature instrument, when they're not known for playing bass in any other bands either. In fact, by his own admission, III has never played bass on any studio album at all.

Note: This is not me saying he shouldn't have a signature bass, or that he doesn't deserve his success. I really enjoy Sleep Token; wouldn't mind catching them live. III is a hell of a showman too.

A signature bass for a guy named "lll?" Weird. Sleep Token are great but aren't they essentially Vessel and the drummer? What's the guitarist's name?

 

[scuzzy]

never thought Fender would do a multi-scale. and this is coming from a guy that loves his Jacksonbacker. bravo

 

[atquinn]

So close, yet so far, like all Charvel basses for me. Ugh.

 

[chanson]

Holding out for the Josh Gilbert signature, should be very similar but check many more boxes for me

 

[EBlovesCharvel]

If it's anything like the San Dimas neck it's gonna feel amazing to play. Price is pretty good too. But, yknow, Fender

 

[jasper383]

Looks like 1599 is the price.

And the inlay? It's the Stinglay all over again.

 

[Naviiin]

I'm not into the band, so the giant question mark does nothing for me. But if Charvel ever does a non-sig version of this, I'm intrigued. Reverse headstocks are totally my thing too.

+100!
Fixes all the problems for me; ebony fretboard with no silly inlays, regular headstock and I like the pickup form factor more. Have to do something about the electronics though; I'll need more than 2 knobs .

 

[mercbass]

I love every single thing about it. Been waiting for a reverse headstock bass for a minute.

I love my Jacksonbackers and Charvel guitar and I will love my III bass

 

[Yahboy]

Since the bass has metal rock look , the headstock at least should look this !!!
