• 4 and 5 string Fly Bass. Long scale, 24 fret bass with a sitka spruce body made from 21 pieces of spruce sandwiched between quilted maple veneer top and back, with the headstock made of curly maple. The mahogany neck which was originally made of 15 layers of laminated mahogany but was later changed to a less stable solid mahogany neck to lower production costs, is wrapped in a skin of carbon fiber with a 10" to 15" conical section fretboard radius. Electronics are 2 custom DiMarzio Ultra Jazz humbucking pickups with active Fishman EQ and a Fishman piezo system which provides acoustic-like string tones. Sperzel locking machine heads and a GraphTech nut are standard fit. Originally available in 3 colour tobacco sunburst, natural, transparent red and transparent blue.
