Fret-King Perception 5 String Bass ~ Original Classic Sunburst
There’s a low-end rumble in the Fret-King jungle with the Black Label Perception.
A ‘go-to’ bass that five-string players the world over will really appreciate.
A fabulous, versatile workhorse that stands up to everything a bass player can throw at it, the Perception lays the foundation for a great groove.
Built with a two-piece centre-jointed American alder body, Canadian hard rock maple neck, the Perception is traditional in feel yet contemporary in execution.
Â
With a sleek neck profile, full width fingerboard, positive feel, enhanced upper fret access and extended neck join, the Perception responds fluidly to your style and demands to be played.
Â
The pickups, specially created for the Perception, emulate the very best of classic vintage tone, with bell-like clarity, depth and power to spare.
Â
Notice too, the brass barrel saddles, which contribute so much to the positive tone of the Perception, fitted to a simple, stamped tempered steel base plate designed to transmit all that string energy to the body for maximum tone.
Â
The Perception captures the solid, precise tonality that underpins so much music, and demonstrates just how versatile a passive bass can be.Â
