BN Models
Bolt-On Neck Fretted Series

This bass produces a thick rich sound reminiscent of a good vintage tone with a sweet rather than harsh high end; however, retaining the ability to cut through a mix. The addition of the very natural sounding preamp allows for variability towards more modern sounds. The two separate volumes allow you to blend the two pickups in any amount of each, not limiting you to the fixed levels of a blend control. The passive tone control functions whether in passive or active mode enabling it to modify a different set of frequencies than the ones affected by the active tone controls. The BN6 in particular has an extremely sleek feel and is one of the easiest six string basses to play. These fretted basses are well balanced standing or sitting and are a joy to play.
