The BTB Series provides all the features, quality and sound of a boutique bass with one significant omission: no expensive boutique price tag. Everything else is here: the pickups are passive, the body is full, and the neck is substantial. With the BTB's extra long neck scale, the tension is nice and tight'there's no flopping in the low end and the high strings ring out and sustain better.
Features
Custom designed Bartolini active EQ's 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.
35 in. neck scale provides superior articulation. Perfect for 5-strings and detuned 4-strings.
