FISHMAN Fluence PICKUPS

A new design for superior response and frequency range using multiple coild for greater sensitivity!

NECK-THRU-BODY CONSTRUCTION

When it comes to punch and sustain, nothing beats neck-thru-body construction. The strings vibrate across the body and neck in coherent and linear manner, maximizing the tightness of the low-end with rich mids and singing highs.

BARTOLINI MK-1 EQ

Bartolini’s renowned MK-1 preamp provides powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. The MK-1 transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 2-band equalizer for a variety of applications ranging from studio recording to large concert halls.

MAHOGANY ASH BODY WITH SWAMP ASH TOP

The lightweight yet solid mahogany body provides a strong fundamental low-end resonance while adding punchy midrange and clear high-end. The broad tonal range of Swamp Ash allows for warm and coherent fingerpicking tones as well as bright and punchy high-end slap tones.

BLACK TUSQ XL NUT

A bass’s open strings do matter and TUSQ XL nut goes a long way in providing open-string tones with clear and firm string vibration through the neck and the headstock. The TUSQ XL nut effectively handles the friction between the thick wound strings and its synthetic material while also providing improved tuning stability.

HIPSHOT TRANSTONE BASS BRIDGE

The string-thru-body and top-load construction facilitates greater tonal range while adding punch and enhancing sustain, perfectly complementing the longer 34” scale’s tighter string tension and focused sound.

HIPSHOT ULTRALIGHT TUNERS

The Artisan basses are equipped with Hipshot Ultralight Tuners (classic 20:1 tuning ratio) that is made of cast zinc with aluminum strings posts and mounting nuts, resulting in 30% weight reduction over other regular tuners and which results in improved balance and tuning accuracy.
