What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Mahogany body
Dense and warm, with strong low mids. Fills space under distorted guitars rather than cutting above them.
Detail 03
Walnut neck
Stiff and dense. Adds firmness to the low end and resists seasonal movement more than softer neck woods.
Detail 04
Left-handed build
A true lefty instrument, not a flipped righty. Controls, cutaway and bridge are all mirrored correctly.
Detail 05
Satin finish
Less grabby than gloss on the back of the neck. Shows fingerprints and wear less, but scuffs more easily.
Detail 06
Four strings
Standard bass range. No low B, so drop tuning means retuning the E rather than reaching for an extra string.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Active electronics run on a battery. Keep a spare and unplug the cable when not playing.
- 02Left-handed basses are rarely stocked locally — trying one before buying is difficult.
- 03Budget for a setup. Neck relief and intonation shift in shipping.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this need a battery?
Yes. The active pickups run on a battery. Leaving a cable plugged into the jack drains it, so unplug after playing.
02Is this a real left-handed bass or a flipped right-handed one?
It is built left-handed. The body contours, controls and bridge are all laid out for a lefty player.
03How many strings does it have?
Four. Standard E-A-D-G range with no low B string.
04What kind of music does this suit?
Loud and aggressive styles. The mahogany body and active pickups give a warm, high-output sound that holds up against distorted guitars.
