There's method in the madness. The multi-scale fretboard is a step above the rest – it redefines playability. With slanted, or 'fanned', frets, it naturally fits to the slant of your wrist to ensure maximum comfort when playing. It also adds extra definition to the tone of the low strings, whilst making the treble strings brighter and clearer. The result is unbelievable playability combined with a superbly tight sound. With this technology, you can master your guitar playing like never before on the EHB1005SMS.
The headless beast
Don't worry, you haven't lost your head. This is a headless bass, which comes with a unique set of advantages. First, it reduces the overall weight, giving your shoulders some well earned respite. And it helps with balance, reducing the 'nose-dive' of the guitar for unrivalled stability onstage. It also improves tuning stability, keeping your strings singing all day long. Not to mention the fact that it looks super cool, too.
Boisterous Bartolinis
Packed with punch. The Bartolini pickups in this bold bass boast a tone like no others. They're filled with punchy, warm mids and crystal clear highs for a sound which will truly rock your world. Whether you're slapping, plucking, or ripping through a bass solo, you can be sure that each note will be articulated with detail. And the special preamp system gives you even more scope to shape your tone. Consisting of volume, blend, EQ bypass switch, and three-band EQ controls, it makes this bass insanely dynamic, and contributes towards its outstanding performance.
Flawless fretting
It's all about the feel. And the EHB1005SMS has it in droves. A smooth maple and walnut neck plays like a dream, offering a bright, snappy response and lightning-fast manoeuvrability. Your playing will be liberated. And the birdseye maple fretboard has a superb response to your fretting, offering unparalleled smoothness and sustain. Armed with these, you'll be truly unstoppable. These woods also add some punch to the bass's tone, helping your notes cut through the mix even more.
Stage-ready
Are you ready? The EHB1005SMS certainly is, with an array of hardware to keep everything running smoothly. An MR5HS bridge offers incredible tuning stability, whilst maximising the resonance and sustain of this bass for a seamless performance. Schaller S-Lock strap locks bind your strap to the bass, ensuring it never comes off and . Luminescent side dots also help you to see the fretboard in the dark, so you can keep your playing ultra-tight at all times. And there's a gigbag included for safe transportation. Your journey to world domination starts here.
