The body of this bass is made of nyatoh, an exotic wood growing in South Asia that resembles cherry wood in texture and sound. The neck is bolted to it and consists of five pieces of maple and walnut. The neck is fitted with a fingerboard made of jatoba, on which we find 24 medium-sized frets.
The instrument is equipped with two passive Power Span Dual Coil humbucker pickups, whose sound characteristics can be changed using the three-position Power Tap switch. Balance and Volume controls are used to further influence the tone, and there is also a three-band equalizer that can be used to add or subtract bass, treble and mids.
The hardware is finished in Cosmo Black, and the strings are mounted in a solid headstock with extra-large holes to accommodate even the thickest batches of strings. The stones in the headstock are also protected against sideways movement. Precision tuning mechanisms with large pins allow for comfortable tuning.
The Soundgear Standard Series basses are designed for a wide range of players who require a perfectly crafted instrument with great sound without having to invest huge sums in it.
