Rees 5bass bass guitar now available

The Rees 5bass bass guitar uses novel bridges and new pickups. A well balanced sound across all five strings has been achieved by using individual bridge pieces for each string; by having a very strong and stiff neck which does not damp low notes; and by using a new pickup set designed specifically for 5 string basses by Seymour Duncan.

The five single string bridges are screwed right through the body from the back, providing solid strong connection between tonewood and each string. The result is a fine tone and long sustain. Each string can be mounted from the tail end of its bridge, or any string can be mounted by inserting it through the body from the back of the guitar. Through-body string mounting provides an alternative tone that is extra punchy and bright with aggressive sharp attack. Each string's bridge is adjustable for height and intonation.

The neck, made mostly of hard maple, has a double truss-rod and well as two internal steel reinforcement bars. This provides the strength and stiffness needed to get down to low notes without tone-killing neck wobble.

The matched pair of pickups are Seymour Duncan's new Passive Phase II NYC Soapbars. These are an original 5-string development, not an extended 4-string design. The two coils and ten poles of each pickup are designed to provide a wide range of voices without the inconvenience of unreliable batteries. Each pickup alone has a switched choice of a humbucker voice; or a dual-coil voice; or a single-coil voice. Then you can use one, or the other, or both pickups to go from bright punchy bridge to full smooth neck pickups and if those nine voices are still not enough to satisfy your thirst for flexibility, then pull the out-of-phase switch to make a funky voice with both pickups, that is very good for multi-string bass chords without severe loudspeaker break-up and rattle.
