Bass of the Week: Schack Guitars Unique V
This week we’re checking out gorgeous Unique V bass from Schack Guitars. Built with a flamed ash body, the instrument features a striking top and matching headstock of spalted quilted bubinga. Similarly, its flamed maple neck is topped with a beautiful marbled ebony fretboard and bubinga binding.
“The neck is connected to the body with our unique Covered Neck Fixing-System (CNF) that is an essential part of our screwless back design,” Schack writes. “You can also choose a set neck or a neck-trough variation. The bass is equipped with our own Basstec pick-ups, powerful BC3P Schack active 3-band electronic, Schaller lightweight tuners and ETS 2-piece bridge.”
