Feature and sound demo by sessionist Daniel Foong
Features
Versatility and Comfort
This bass was designed to be the "one bass" for sessionists and gigging musicians. Focusing on tonal versatility, playability, comfort and being lightweight, the Daniel Foong Signature Bass helps musicians get through long working hours within distinct settings with ease.
Hybrid Buckeye Burl Top
The hybrid buckeye burl top itself is a work of art. Made by an artisan using a vacuum chamber to infuse dyed resin into a premium buckeye burl. The result is a beautiful top that is incredibly stable. Tonally, it also compliments the lightweight swamp ash body by focusing it's tone and refining the top end.
Chambered Swamp Ash Body
To help musicians make it through long sessions, we decided to use a chambered swamp ash as it's body wood. Lightweight as it is, it's not as prone to denting as it's alternatives such as Basswood or Paulownia due to its relatively higher hardness. With clever chambering patterns that retain its structural integrity, the body provides a "huge" sounding tone that was requested by Daniel Foong.
Compound Thickness Body
The compound thickness from 45mm (treble side) to 25mm (bass side) has been chosen to provide several advantages.
Such as:
- weight reduction
- natural slanting of the body to allow better playability especially when played standing up.
- less pressure on thigh during long sessions

Headstock

Bridge
To accommodate equal string edge spacing for better playability on a multiscale bass and also for better sub bass response, we opted for Babicz FCH-1 Solorail Bass Bridges on this bass.
Equal string edge spacing allows for wider spacing at the lower strings for easier slapping while giving narrower spacing on the higher strings to make melody playing smooth as butter.
Output Jack
The output jack has been placed at at a position which accommodates both straight and angled plugs without straining the cable. The chamfered surrounding also makes plugging in the instrument a much easier job in low light settings.
Neck
3pcs Curly Mango/Flamed Hard Maple neck.
Hand winded pickups with top matching covers
To ensure the beauty of the top isn't affected by two black rectangles (usual look of pickups), we made the pickup cover out of the top. The finger ramp is also seamlessly integrated into it.
The pickups are also loaded with a lot of features, coil splitting, compound magnet poles switching, equal string edge spacing, etc.
Carved Set Neck
Specially carved to each individual's hand and each design, our hand carved set necks ensures seamless transition from neck to body.
