A push/push volume boost, tone control and three-way rotary switch allow players to move between parallel, single-coil and series modes.

The nyatoh body provides warmth and balance, helping notes remain focused and articulate. Together, these materials create a dependable tonal foundation suited to a wide range of playing styles. Reliable Hardware for Everyday Performance Open-gear tuners, a six-bolt neck joint and durable hardware support tuning stability and consistent performance. The compact design and responsive electronics make this bass well suited for rehearsal, studio work and live performance.
