Detail 01
9–16-inch compound-radius maple fingerboard
The fingerboard curve changes from the nut toward the body for chording, bends, and solos.

Independent shopping perspective
Designed as a five-string concert bass for performance and recording work, the Gladys combines a slim poplar body, sculpted edges, and a deep cutaway for access high on the fingerboard. Its graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck uses a custom profile, satin finish, jumbo frets, and a 9–16-inch compound radius. Custom Jackson BBE J-style pickups feed an active three-band EQ for bass, midrange, and high-frequency shaping. A 34-inch scale and Jackson Hi-Mass bridge round out the playing platform, while the included gig bag covers transport.
