“This is the first of our Kratos basses. The Kratos is our take on a traditional jazz style, this particular bass is a short scale (30.5\u201d), 19 fret version of the normal 34\u201d scale 24 fret standard version of this model.<\/p>\n

This bass has a stunning quilted maple top on a ribbon sapele body, flamed shedua neck and finger board separated with a maple veneer.<\/p>\n

The bridge is our own manufacture paired with our own manufactured string ferrule block and the tuners are hipshot ultralite\u2019s.<\/a>\u00a0 The customer selected Aguilar 70\u2019s jazz pickups<\/a> for their growl which was coupled with an Aguilar OPB1 preamp<\/a>, controls are blend, master volume, treble boost and bass boost.\u00a0 The 12th fret inlay and rear body inlay are taken from the customers memorial tattoo for his brother and are made of ebony and quilted maple set into purple hart with a bronze disc at the centre”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
