PureArt S2

Started as a project with Johan Maximilian Sievert and the answer to the quest he had for a perfect bass. Whilst there are many aspects of that bass in the S2 model they are like cousins rather than just a long scale version of the JS bass. Made to be able to combine light weight, fantastic wide response with great tone that carries your style whatever that may be. Amazing balance and ergonomics plus 25th fret availability with ease.. The bass is like a purist on steroids, no controls, just focus on your playing and let the pedalboard do the controlling. There is an optional tonebox available with standby and on off for the tone shaping features with selectable capacitors and a control for the amount of treble shaping. And as you can see it is available as a custom option bass.

Sorry for only having pictures of one bass (custom option bass) but more pics coming soon..
