Form Factor Audio Custom Shop made this bass for you! Sore-shouldered bassists can tell you that fighting "neck dive" from a poorly balanced instrument is akin to slow torture. It’s just not healthy. Playing a big heavy bass is the new smoking! Treat your body right with this custom shorty bass, built with your health in mind, using high-quality/tone wood that is not common in this price range.
The popular choice for most bass guitars is Eastern European Alder, known for its strong, clear full-bodied sound, with beefy mids, excellent lows, and aggressive singing high notes, along with lightweight Silver Populus (Aspen), and Northern European Ash.
DUAL TRUSS ROD SYSTEM There are a lot of basses on the market with a tendency to have weak neck binding structures due to strong string tensions. For this reason, to maintain neck stiffness and stability, two Titanium rods are applied to all Form Factor Audio bass guitars. We call this Dual Truss rod system Double Titanium Reinforcement Rods.
TUSQ NUT The nut is one of the most important parts of the bass that influences the performance, playability, and tone of the instrument. Depending on the quality of the material and elasticity, the nut can either improve or degrade the sound. Although the TUSQ nut is more costly and harder to work with, it is considered to deliver more balanced, clearer and smoother tones than plastic, corian or other materials.
ACCURATE AND STABLE TUNING Each bass comes with either Hipshot Premium Bass Tuning machine heads (Hipshot American Classics or Ultralite) or GOTOH(made in Japan). Developed with accurate gear ratios, the machine heads are very reliable in tuning.
ELECTRONICS High-quality premium Bass Pickups by High-end pickup builders(Bartolini, Lollar, SIMS, Howard Ulyate, Arcane), with Bartolini, Aguilar electronics.
BRIDGE Each bass comes with a Form Factor Audio Custom Light Weight Duralum bridge, with Bell Bronze saddles and extra-hard tension saddle springs to eliminate annoying parasitic rattles/vibrations coming from other types of bridges.
