Thumper - P-Style - Black Sands 

Sometimes, I get to make the basses for myself, and this is one of them. To me, this bass offers everything I want in a bass. It sounds amazing, is super comfortable to play, and is striking to look at.

This pickup configuration has been available on our bass builder for a while, it's kind of a secret menu item listed under the middle pickup selection. The two EMG TBHZ combine to make a sonic powerhouse of quad coil power, right in the sweet spot of the bass. What's more, there is a parallel/series push-pull to bring you to tonal nirvana. OK, maybe that's a bit much, but I'm trying to say it sounds huge.

The Thumper Heart

This instrument is built around the Thumper configuration. It is a short-scale 30-inch, comfortable, and lightweight 8.3 lbs. The mahogany body is light and adds warmth to your sound.

Handcrafted in San Diego

The bass shown in these photos is the exact instrument you will receive. McGrath is a two-person team based in San Diego, California, and we put our heart and soul into every one-off build.
