STD-V bass Imperial Blue pearl - $US2450 [Demo]
This bass is a 5 string headless with the BassXX preamp, 2 pickups, black hardware, and is strung with the new light gauge custom strings (G to low B 035/050/070/095/125). The controls are: vol#1/mute, vol#2, treble/bass/passive, mid amount, mid frequency. The "mid tuned" composite material of this bass, combined with medium action height, provides a tight, punchy sound, which is excellent for fingerstyle playing. This bass was reviewed by Bass Inside magazine, and received 5 out of 5 stars! picture (17KB) Second from left in the photo below.

L-BOW-V bass Black gloss - $US2600 [New]
This 5 string bass has the BassXX preamp, 2 pickups, and black hardware. The controls are: vol#1/mute, vol#2, treble/bass/passive, mid amount, mid frequency. Non-taper-core strings are installed on this bass, which is tuned G to low B (040/060/080/102/126). This bass sounds and looks great for rock, and of course works fantastically in other styles. The neck pickup is in the "sweet spot", and you can use the bridge pickup to dial in some funk. This bass is currently at AccuGroove as a reference bass! On the left in the photo below.

L-BOW-V bass Satin Silver metallic - N/A [Loaned]
This bass is a 5 string with the DaCapo preamp, 3 pickups, and black hardware. There are 3 strap pin locations on the back side of the bow, providing balance options for different playing styles. The bass has the new custom "Signature Set" strings (G to B 035/050/070/095/130), with remarkably balanced tensions across all strings (nearly identical number of turns on the headless tuning system to bring them up to pitch). Three pickups with individual volumes, the "low bow", and low action combine to make this a very flexible bass. picture (16KB) On the right in the photo below.

SOUL-IV bass British Racing Green satin - $US2400 [New]
This bass is a 4 string with the BassXX preamp, 2 pickups, soundholes, and black and chrome hardware. The clearcoat has a classy satin finish, rather than the usual gloss. The controls are standard: vol#1/mute, vol#2, treble/bass/passive, mid amount, mid frequency. The entire instrument has a very precise feel about it, with the crisp fretboard edges and the trussrod in the hollow neck. The bridge is recessed into the top of the body for a lower profile. This gives a more consistent feel across the strings for slap and pop. This bass appeals to traditional players, of course, but is still lightweight. This bass is currently in the hands of Polo Jones who will be touring with Zuccherro this summer. picture (69KB)

SOUL-IV bass "Woody" gloss - $US2650 [New]
This 4 string bass includes the BassXX preamp, 2 pickups, standard controls, soundholes, and gold hardware. The finish is a special hand-painted "wood" effect, with a gloss clearcoat. The front surface of the bass is thinner than normal, for a more acoustic tone. This, combined with the lack of trussrod, makes this bass lighter and richer in tone than many other Soul basses. What you hear is the pure sound of the amazing BassLab tuned composite material. The low action makes this bass very easy to play. picture (18KB) picture (90KB)

STD-G guitar Red Melon metallic - $US2300 [Demo]
This guitar has 2 Seymour Duncan "Screaming Demon" pickups, Schaller bridge, 25 frets, and black hardware. The punchy mid-range tone is quite evident, and is the result of the "arch top" STD design. Each pickup has it’s own volume, tone control, and mute switch. In addition, there is a switch to put the pickups out of phase to each other. This configuration was created for maximum flexibility in the studio. This guitar is currently in the hands of fusion guitarist John Goodsall of Brand X. picture (11KB) In the middle in the photo below.

STD-G guitar Signal Orange gloss - $US2200 [Loaned]
This guitar has 2 EMG active pickups, tune-o-matic bridge, 24 frets, and black hardware. The controls are laid out in a very popular configuration, for easy live playing: volume, tone, and three-position pickup selector switch. The upper horn is a bit shorter than normal, and there are some other small changes in the shape. A Fender tech with Limp Bizkit in a studio in France called this guitar the most aggressive and best sound for metal he had ever heard. picture (15KB) picture (33KB) picture (45KB) picture (48KB)
