Unrivaled Tone and Electronics

 

This instrument was featured as a display and demo model at NAMM 2026. Because it was handled by attendees during the show, it may exhibit minor surface imperfections or light play wear. However, the bass has undergone a full professional inspection to ensure it is in perfect working order and plays beautifully. We have adjusted the sale price to reflect its "ex-demo" status, offering a fantastic value on a world-class instrument.

This bass is equipped with a premium electronics package designed for massive headroom and complete tonal control.

  • Thunderous Power: Three custom-wound Lollar Thunderbird pickups deliver a clear, growling tone with excellent balance.

  • Precision Preamp: The 18-volt Trickfish IPA 3-band EQ preamp offers extensive sound-shaping capabilities and huge headroom, allowing you to sculpt your sound for any genre.

  • Active/Passive Flexibility: A CTS master volume features a push-pull switch for instant true-bypass between powerful, EQ-driven active tones and a pure, passive voice.

  • Quick Pickup Selection: High-quality Switchcraft sliders provide precise and reliable pickup blending.


 

Elite Construction and Playability

 

Built for resonance, stability, and speed, this instrument is designed for the professional player.

  • Rich Tonewoods: The body is crafted from Mahogany, providing a deep, resonant foundation for a full, rich sound.

  • Ultimate Stability: Paired with a beautiful, highly stable Roasted Flame Maple neck for unmatched durability and a premium feel.

  • Fast, Modern Feel: The neck offers effortless playability with a comfortable 1.5" nut width and a 12" fingerboard radius. Stainless steel frets ensure durability and a silky-smooth playing surface.


 

Stage-Ready Aesthetics

 

This bass is a guaranteed head-turner with its unique, custom finish.

  • Custom "Surf Blue" Finish: The captivating, hand-painted custom "Surf Blue" finish, created by renowned artist Madelyn McGrath, is perfectly complemented by sleek Nickel Hardware.

  • Weight: 8.9 lbs
