Growler 5-string
Though it’s the least expensive American-made Tobias,
the Growler doesn’t cut corners. The Growler is loaded
with the high-end features you’d expect to find on a bass costing
twice as much, such as a swamp ash body and custom Bartolini preamp
and pickup design. In addition to the premium tonewood and custom electronics, the
Growler sports simplified controls, brass knobs and bridge, and a 3-layer bolt-on neck.
The combination of tonewoods and electronics makes the Growler an amazingly
versatile bass.

PAB40
“Distinctive” doesn’t even begin to describe this
Parker PAB40, which combines the playing comfort
of an electric instrument with the rich, expressive sound of an
acoustic upright. Its stunning black walnut body features a unique yet
instantly recognizable shape, and sound slots give you a feedback-fighting alternative to
f-holes. The mahogany/maple neck is topped with a quality ebony fingerboard and meets
the body with a dovetail-style joint. Utilizing a customized version of Fishman’s Matrix
pickup system, the PAB40 lets you maintain high stage volume without sacrificing great
tone. If you’re searching for smooth, articulate bass tones, you’ll definitely want to give
this bass a look!

Thunder Jet Bass
Bassists, here’s your chance to bring some of that “cool factor” and tonal
swagger to the low end, while enjoying a tone-packed, easy-to-play
instrument that’s built for the long haul. Based on the classic G6128
Duo Jet body design, the Gretsch Thunder Jet Bass is a modern,
no-nonsense player that combines all the best features of those vintage
Gretsches with some modern enhancements.
This incredible-looking bass features a heavily chambered,
mahogany semi-hollowbody design with dual TV Jones ®
ThunderTron pickups, a newly designed Bass Space
Control bridge, Sperzel ® locking bass machine heads,
and ultra-cool knurled strap retainers, plus a laminated
arched maple top and a one-piece mahogany neck. And
just to drive the point home that your you’re playing
a real Gretsch, a totally retro “G” cutout graces the
tailpiece (a bonus if your name happens to start
with “G”). Like all classic Gretsch guitars, the classy
ebony fretboard sports neo-classical thumbnail
inlays. Naturally, the Thunder Jet Bass has all the
vibe you expect from a Gretsch!

Jack Casady
Signature Bass
Epiphone’s Jack Casady Signature Bass is a stunning
instrument that’s capable of producing a “natural” bass tone that
can’t be achieved using normal high impedance and active pickups. The Vari Tone knob
ranges from low volume/maximum tone to high volume/narrow tone for real bite. It not
only delivers notes of amazing clarity, but is also capable of producing incredibly clear,
articulate chords.

SG Reissue Bass
Gibson’s classic dual-pickup SG-style bass from the 1960s has
returned as the SG Reissue. With its short scale and slim neck — just
like the original — the SG Reissue heralds the return of a more “rock and roll” time
with a vintage-style TB Plus bass humbucker in the neck position and a bass mini-humbucker
sitting in front of the chrome combo bridge. This solid mahogany beauty also
features shamrock tuners and block top hat knobs with silver inserts on the volume and
tone pots. The SG Reissue is a fast-playing, fat-sounding gem!
Color: Heritage Cherry.

Embassy
Standard IV Plus
The Epiphone Embassy Standard IV Plus bass gives you
incredible control over your tone, plus it plays great! This striking
bass is built to perform, with two humbucking pickups, active EQ controls, contoured
deep-cutaway swamp ash body, and a comfy maple neck. The Embassy Standard IV Plus
is based on the classic 1960s-era Embassy bass, with a 34" scale and four-on-a-side tuner
configuration that provides straight string pull from the Thunderbird-style headstock.
This beautiful instrument is ultra-playable and amazingly affordable!

Thunderbird IV
The Epiphone Thunderbird IV offers legendary
T-bird tone at a more manageable price. To
help keep the cost down, this incarnation sports a bolt-on maple neck
rather than the traditional set neck. The reverse Firebird-shaped alder body is finished
in a sharp vintage sunburst, and the classic Thunderbird pickguard adorns the bottom
horn. A pair of humbucking pickups — nestled in sweetspots near the bridge and in
the middle — provide thick, punchy tones that are well suited for virtually any style of
music. Black hardware rounds out the feature set of this bargain-priced tone machine.
