Magnus Performer 5 bass unveiled by U.S. Masters

U.S. Masters has unveiled the new Magnus Performer 5 High Performance bass guitar. The advanced design provides significant improvements in sound quality and playability over conventionally designed basses. Though fully American made, Magnus Performer 5 is competitively priced with higher-end imports.

The body design, similar in size to a jazz bass, is longer and slightly wider than U.S. Masters' EP Series 5-strings. This positions the bass more to the right on your body (assuming a right-handed player) so there is less of a reach when playing down by the nut. The neck is set at an angle to the body which allows your arm to be in a more relaxed position when playing in the lower ranges. The design also provides unobstructed access all the way to the 24th fret as the neck joins the body at the 22nd fret and there is no heel.

The Magnus Performer 5 has a mahogany body that is given a hand-rubbed natural satin urethane varnish finish. It gives the wood a rich, natural luster like an oil finish, but the surface is much smoother and is more easily cleaned and polished while also providing a better seal and protection for the wood. It is equipped with a fully shielded and humbucking dual soapbar pickup set, volume and blend controls and an EMG 3-band active EQ.

Further high-end appointments include made in the USA premium Sperzel Locking tuning machines, Graph Tech nut, high alloy premium German fret wire and LaBella strings.

At a $1,195 STREET PRICE (including a deluxe gig bag) the U.S. Masters Magnus Performer 5 5-string bass guitar is an exceptional value, especially considering it is fully made in the USA. Magnus Performer 5 5-string bass guitar - $1,690 MSRP including deluxe gig bag, $1,195 street price
