Element 5OP

Designed for the modern bass player, the Element 5OP 5-string bass will immediately become a favorite instrument in your collection – not just for its striking looks but its tone and playability. The Element 5OPs open pore grain finish preserves the natural acoustic properties of the sungkai wood body, resulting in a wider range of sustained frequencies and a stellar low-end. Its 35” maple neck and fingerboard provide a well-balanced feel and pinpoint articulation even on the low B string. The "C” neck profile features a satin finish for an extremely comfortable feel and easy lateral movement.

The Element 5OP offers sonic flexibility without compromising authentic bass tone. For dialing up a broad range of sounds, its equipped with two Rockfield single coil pickups, matched up with a 2-band EQ & preamp. If more of a vintage flavor is your preference, a push-pull switch bypasses the preamp and puts out a traditional passive tone. Between its gorgeous visuals and pristine low-end punch, the Element 5OP will be your go-to instrument on stage, at practice or in the studio.
