STD

 

An ergonomical masterpiece with exceptionally great sounding.
The body shape, the balance and the weight, merely 2.5-3.5 kgs, enables you to play on when the others fold. Combine that with the neck shape and the unusually true sound. The result is - a dream?
Not any more!

  • Available with 4, 5 or six strings. Or as many as you like!

  • Available with a small head, or headless (which is OK as long as there is a head on the bassist...).

  • Choose 2 side-by-side or 3 stacked humbuckers from Rough Chrystal. The twin's standard controls are two volumes+preamp, the triplet has one volume+6-position pup selector+preamp.

  • Choose BassXX or DaCapo preamp.

  • Further choises are listed under Options, below.

L-bow (och C-bow)

 

 

The same experience of the total sound is found in the L-bow, only that the lows come out even better. Don't be fooled by the design - it feels normal, except for the weight, just 2.5-3.2kgs.

C-bow: with the bow cut, some of that extra lows are cut, but it is still great sounding. On the other hand it looks fairly "normal". Your choice.

  • Options as STD, except for completely headless.

Soul

If you must have a traditional look, you can still achive the BassLab sound!
From an ergonomics standpoint, it is just an extremely lightweight and pretty well balanced F***** copy. But the sound…almost unlimited!
Weight? 2-2.6kgs.

  • Avilable with 4 or 5 strings. More hasn't been requested - yet.

  • 2 side-by-side humbuckers from Rough Chrystal.

  • Choose BassXX or DaCapo preamp.

  • Further choises are listed under Options, below.

 

Doubleneck

A doubleneck weighing just 5kgs!!!
Many singlenecks weigh that much, or more. And this one features the BassLab sound.
Is there any reason to wait?

 

  • 2 x 5 strings, one fretted, one not.

  • Further choises as STD.

Guitar

  

This is the guitar that sounds like a 335 jazz guitar, a screamin' rock plank or whatever you wish. Just dial in your preference. On top of this, BassLab's ergonomics and the exceptional LSR tuners.

BassXX (uttalas/pronounced: basicsics)
