Overview

Five string with dual pickups.

The version of the Shifter Bass features a single coil/single coil pickup arrangement, a classic and popular configuration, delivering both "J" tonalities. The various tones are selected via a custom 3-way switch that offers amazing sounds to choose from. It also features a Canadian Laurentian basswood body, rock maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, double function bridge, large chrome machine heads and a vintage burst high-gloss finish. It plays beautifully and sounds great. Enchanting paint work as well. Great bass for under $1,000.
