THE PURIST BASS

The Purist bass

started as a pure, resonant instrument with an old-school vibe but a modern edge that allows it to cut through the mix without getting lost in low-end mud. It offers the best of both worlds, combining vintage warmth with modern punch. The triple-coil pickup configuration delivers a sonically explosive sound, while the split-coil pickup option takes you to vintage vibe heaven. This bass is the top choice for players who have moved on from modern, sterile-sounding instruments.
