Aptly named, the Alien acoustic bass is simply out of this world! The bass' narrow body is comfortable to play, while the NanoMag pickup offers beefy tone.

The more I play this bass, the more I like it! I have set it up all low as possible but the action is still just a little higher than I would like. I like low action. ... I haven’t shaved the saddle ( not much available to shave) due to concerns with the break angle. I’ve found that the tones I can get on this bass are expansive. Really nice pu/ electronics.Highly recommended despite the bridge/ pin problems.
