This bass was a big hit at the Summer NAMM show 2008. Mainly because I don't think anyone has built anything quite like it before. This is our take on the classic V design. While the V shape hasn't always been the most comfortable bass to play we've always loved the shape. We've tried to address a few issues and produce a bass that was a little more player friendly. If you like to wear your basses high you'll instantly notice the Entwistle-esque pose and posture you never knew you had.
