Key Features and Performance Advantages

• Stunning Flamed Maple Top: The bass features a gorgeous Flamed Maple top over a sculpted Alder/Maple body. This tonewood combination provides a rich, full tone with excellent sustain, while the flame maple offers a visually commanding, elegant finish.

• Ultimate Tonal Flexibility (Active/Passive): Equipped with an audiophile-grade 3-Band Active EQ system with an essential Active/Passive Switch. This allows for maximum tone-shaping in active mode (boost/cut Bass, Mid, Treble) or a clear, classic sound in passive mode (where the Treble knob functions as a Master Tone).

  • Level-Matched Output: The circuit ensures the output volume remains consistent when switching between Active and Passive modes, preventing unexpected drops or spikes on stage.

  • Battery Alert LED: An LED on the back panel provides a low battery alert, ensuring you avoid unexpected power loss during critical performances.

• YGD H5 Alnico V Humbuckers: The custom-designed YGD H5 pickups utilize Alnico V magnets and a quad-pole piece design to deliver a clean, open, and dynamic tone. They are sensitive enough to capture every nuance in passive mode, and powerful enough to drive the active circuit.

• Superior Stability and Comfort: The neck features a robust 5-piece Maple/Mahogany lamination, providing exceptional stability against warping and contributing to the instrument's rich tone and sustain. The ergonomic neck profile and satin finish ensure fast, comfortable playability.

• High-Mass Bridge and Premium Hardware: A High-Mass, Die-Cast Bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations to the body for a full, rich tone and added sustain. The 18mm string spacing on the 5-string model ensures outstanding playability for all technical styles.
