Instrument Type: 4-String Solid-Body Electric Bass Guitar
Neck Specifications: GSR4 Bolt-On Maple Neck with 12-inch / 305mm Radius Jatoba Fingerboard
Body Material: Selected Lightweight Poplar Core Body
Pickup Configuration: Passive Dynamix P Split Single-Coil (Neck) and Dynamix J Single-Coil (Bridge)
Hardware & Bridge: Chrome Fully Adjustable B10 Bridge with 19mm String Spacing
Scale & Nut Width: 34-inch / 864mm Scale Length with 1.614-inch / 41mm Nut Width
The structural foundation of this solid-body electric bass is carved from selected lightweight poplar tonewood, modeled precisely after the iconic Ibanez Soundgear profile. This intentional engineering design optimizes weight distribution and balance, reducing performance fatigue during long recording sessions or live tracking. The instrument utilizes a rigid, bolt-on GSR4 single-piece maple neck that delivers snappy transient attack, enduring tuning stability, and sustained string vibration transfer. Topped with a smooth, 12-inch radius jatoba fingerboard and 22 medium-gauge frets, the neck profile provides an ultra-slim, accessible playing surface that allows effortless navigation across the entire fingerboard register.
The electronic layout bypasses traditional tonal restrictions by pairing two distinct pickup topologies into an interactive blending array. Stationed at the neck position is a passive, split-coil Dynamix P pickup, voiced to deliver a thick, mid-forward foundational punch. The bridge position houses a passive, single-coil Dynamix J pickup, wound to capture crisp note articulation, biting high frequencies, and mid-range growl. Dual independent volume pots allow players to blend these independent coils to any custom ratio, while a master passive Tone control manages high-frequency attenuation. This analog network feeds directly into an active, onboard Phat II equalizer preamplifier circuit, which applies a powerful low-frequency boost to instantly increase sub-harmonic power.
In a studio recording session or live ensemble mix where the bass track must anchor heavy guitars without muddying the lower-mid frequencies, this instrument offers precise separation. Connect the bass directly into an all-analog direct box or solid-state preamp channel. Advance the neck-positioned Dynamix P volume control to 100%, and blend the bridge Dynamix J pickup to roughly 60% while setting the active Phat II EQ completely flat at its lowest threshold. This specific configuration highlights the natural woody thump of the split-coil pickup while injecting just enough high-mid bridge definition to cut through dense rhythm arrangements, keeping your fundamental notes clean and perfectly isolated in the studio monitor path.
For alternative rock, heavy metal, or modern funk arrangements requiring an aggressive, speaker-rattling sub-bass presence, utilize the active preamplifier to drive your upstream gain stages. Route the instrument output straight into a high-gain bass distortion pedal or a driven tube amplifier head. Set both pickup volume controls to maximum to achieve full hum-canceling output, and advance the active Phat II EQ control past 2:00. The active onboard boost circuit sends a high-output signal that hits the input stage of your overdrive effects harder, saturating the mid-range frequencies while simultaneously filling out massive sub-bass frequencies that remain tight and focused through the B10 bridge saddles.
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE ELECTRONICS PROTOCOLS: THE ACTIVE PHAT II PREAMPLIFIER ARCHITECTURE REQUIRES A FUNCTIONAL 9-VOLT INTERNAL ALKALINE BATTERY INTEGRATED INTO THE REAR CHASSIS COMPARTMENT. INTERNAL ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS SWITCH ENGAGED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN A STANDARD ONE-QUARTER INCH TS INSTRUMENT CABLE IS INSTALLED INTO THE OUTPUT JACK. TO PREVENT COMPLETE BATTERY DRAIN AND PREMATURE VOLTAGE DROP, UNPLUG THE INSTRUMENT CABLE COMPLETELY FROM THE BASS GUITAR CHASSIS WHEN NOT OPERATING THE DEVICE. FAILING TO REPLACE A DEPLETED ALKALINE BATTERY WILL PROVOKE LOSS OF AUDIO SIGNAL, HEAVY SIGNAL DISTORTION, OR COMPLETELY INACTIVE PREAMP BOOST FUNCTIONS. NEVER APPLY EXTERNAL PHANTOM VOLTAGE OR POWER SOURCES HIGHER THAN 9V TO THE OUTPUT TERMINALS AS THIS WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND DESTROY INTERNAL RESISTOR STAGING. WARNING: THIS INSTRUMENT CONTAINS CHEMICALS INCLUDING LEAD, KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS, OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM. MAINTAIN CLEAN ADJUSTMENT SADDLES AND OIL THE FINGERBOARD SEASONALLY TO EVADE DRY FRETTING DAMAGE.
