The bridge was developed in an effort to meet the needs of various players who enjoy different string spacing. The saddles can be easily adjusted to widen or tighten the string spacing by + / -1.5mm. D'Addario NYXL strings are installed to expand the dynamic range and harmonic response. Other features include a secure high-tech read more Neutrik locking output jack and Gotoh machine heads.

The elegantly contoured, massive body of select tone woods combines with dedicated hardware and electronics to produce huge, rich tones. Neck-through construction, a two-octave fretboard, and a super-deep cutaway, promise sleek playability and enduring sustain. The BTB series defines what the "Boutique Bass" is all about.
