About This Product!
Description
Our sleek Soundgear shuns tradition. The muscular BTB enhances it. BTB takes the traditional formula of powerful tones produced by a massive body and substantial neck and adds an even longer 35 in. inch scale neck, the right mix of premium woods and modern appointments.

Features
Custom designed Bartolini active EQs and passive humbucking pickups (on BTB500/1000 models) designed for the 35 in. neck scale.

18 volt EQ circuitry provides much greater headroom than found on standard active EQ's (except BTB300).

35 in. neck scale provides superior articulation. Perfect for 5-strings and detuned 4-strings. Standard 34 in. scale is available on the new BTB300.

Off-center line neck shape (BTB500/1000) makes upper fret work as easy as playing the lower frets.
