A powerful performer. The single Sterling Designed Alnico Humbucker offers everything you could ever want from a pickup. It is active, offering a high output sound which is bound to set your ears on fire. It uses an Alnico magnet for a strong, well rounded voice, and has more than enough dynamism to give you a wide range of different tones.
There's three-band active EQ for precise control over your sound. You can dial in a pristine, punchy voice which pummels through the mix, or add plenty of luscious low end for a deeper, darker sound. If you think having a single pickup is limiting – think again. This pristine humbucker glows with red hot tone, and will help you deliver a huge sound every time you play.
Ultimate precision
Play to perfection. If you want total control over the fretboard, this bass will happily oblige. It's got a smooth, roasted hard maple neck which allows you to play with complete accuracy. Your hand will have no trouble gliding over its smooth surface as you fly between notes in unparalleled style. As such, you'll feel natural expressing yourself on this instrument, with each note all the way up the cutaway body feeling well in reach. It is also slim, meaning you can blitz through basslines at lightning speed. Play without limits
Riveting rosewood
There's also a pristine rosewood fretboard for a slick fretting experience. Its smooth surface makes for effortless finger movements, so you'll find your basslines flow smoothly into one another. It also adds a touch of warmth to your tone, bringing out some more fatness in each note. With this sonic tool in your arsenal, you'll find writing bold basslines feels both natural and rewarding.
Your bass fortress
It's got all the goods. There's a solid Sterling Designed Bridge helping to lock down the strings, so you can always play in tune. It is supported by open gear tuning machines, which also help to keep your tuning well and truly in check.

Coming with a stunnng finish and boasting mountains of power, this instrument will take your bass playing to lofty heights.
