Variax Bass 705 is a high-quality, five-string bass addition to the Variax family of instruments. The exclusive Line 6 modeling technology that lives inside this solid-body bass delivers 24 exciting sounds ranging from vintage instruments to modern classics, acoustic basses, and synth sounds. Exclusive to Variax Bass 705 is the ability to instantly call up a five-string version of a classic 4-string, vintage 8-string, or acoustic upright sound. Plus, the low B-string extends the synth models into a range only keyboard players normally reach. These innovations make Variax Bass 705 a must-have for any contemporary bassist. Variax Bass 705 features an alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and sealed die cast chrome tuners. Included is a custom-fitted gig bag and XPS DI direct box with 1/4 in. and XLR outputs that also supplies power to the instrument through the provided TRS cable. Available in black or sunburst finishes.

Ever wish you could take just one bass to a session that could go from round, vintage warmth to modern, active pickup punch? What if you could take that jazz gig and not have to squeeze an acoustic bass in your trunk or on the subway?

With a Variax Bass, you can show up to any live gig or studio date with the confidence your tone will always be perfect for any tune. Best of all, that's just the beginning of what you can do with a Variax Bass 700 and 705.
