Features
The Newtro Bass
Reminiscent of classic designs combined with a dab of modern aesthetics, this bass won't look or sound out of place whether you are playing classic rock or progressive music. It also features custom wounded pickups with series/parallel switching for growly/clean tones.
Maple Burl Top
Maple Burl top with a soundhole. It was also reinforced with carbon fiber for stability and a bit more top end. The shape of the soundhole was modelled after our logo and it proudly showcases the semi-hollow body construction.
Raintree (Monkeypod) Semi-Hollow Body
Semi-hollow Raintree body allows for a lighter weight, more focused attack and mid range warmth.
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
Flamed Maple Cavity Covers
Flamed Maple cavity covers. Quick change magnetic system for battery cover and screws for electronics cavity.
Headstock
Top matching headstock faceplate + truss rod cover.
Custom milled brass string tree.
Hipshot Ultralight tuners.
Zero fret with bone nut.
Bridge
For a more classic look and to accommodate the semi hollow body, we decided to use Hipshot Type D Bridge for this bass along with a string through construction.
Other than that, the wood surrounding the bridge posts are reinforced by Chengal, a type of wood famous for its hardness, strength and dimensional stability.
String Through Body
String through body with stainless steel ferrules.
Neck
3pcs Flamed Hard Maple neck with rift sawn centerpiece. Hand rubbed oil finish.
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.
To have both growly tone, a clean sounding tone and everything in between, the pickups are specifically wounded for series/parallel switching.
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.
"S" soundhole
S shaped soundhole with bindings
Top Matching Custom Wood Knobs
Custom wood knobs differently shaped for push/pull knobs, EQ and concentric ones.
