Overview

Easy-playing 5-string with active electronics.

This stylish and affordable Riot-5 Session 5-string electric bass features an 18V active pickup system with two EMG-designed single coils. The electronics consist of a master volume and a master blend knob that mixes the relative volume of the middle and bridge pickups. There is also a three-band active rotary EQ with cut and boost controls for bass/middle/treble. The satin finish lets the swamp ash grain show though and the lines and hardware complement to the inherent stylishness of this versatile bass guitar. 

Quality hardware, a slender and fast neck, active pickups and a handsome design make the Riot-5 a bass that is both affordable and professionally presentable.
