Dhatarattha DEB5 Jazz Bass 5 string - PAISLEY RELIC

This one's for the bassists! The DEB5 is the ultimate 5-string low-end beast, combining peak aesthetic design, playability, and quality specifications to produce one of the best bass guitars we've ever made.

This is just one of several DEB5 variations we’re preparing to release.
Message us if you’d like an early look at the upcoming colors!

With a mahogany body hand-pasted with pink paisley wallpaper, the DEB5 has been painstakingly finished with nitrocellulose lacquer before being relic'd to give it that "battle-worn" relic look. Though it may look pre-loved, the DEB5 is not the shabby instrument the relic'd finish suggests. The roasted maple neck features a slab of genuine rosewood adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, while high-grade Derulo tuners and a bone nut frame the gorgeous matching headstock.

With a pair of hand-wound pickups courtesy of the Laohao workshop, it delivers clarity right across the frequency spectrum - tight low-end and plenty of sizzle for awesome slap tones that cut through the mix. Bright yet versatile, it’s perfect for funk-rockers and jazz players alike - given the pickup mix and EQ options available via the tone and volume knobs, there's a sweet spot here for every player!

It has been painstakingly designed to perfectly balance professional quality with our famous affordability.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or you've come in late, we can't thank you enough for supporting us in delivering quality instruments at an affordable price.
