BassMods Introduces K534 Bass

BassMods K534 Bass - Sparkle Blue finish

BassMods has introduced the K534, a 5-string bass that pays homage to a classic style. The model is built with a chambered alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with white binding and pearloid block inlays.

Each K534 is made to order and built for a dual pickup configuration. Pickup options include Bartolini Dual Coil Brights, Bartolini Deep Tone Dual Coils, Aguilar Humcancelling pickups, Bass Mods Big Fatty 5’s, Nordstrand NJ5s, or Reed James Vintage Vibes. They can be matched to multiple preamp selections ranging from BassMods’ own brand to Bartolini, Aguilar, and John East circuits.

BassMods rounds out each K534 with Hipshot licensed Ultralite hardware and a Plek setup. The K534 is available direct with a base price starting at $860.
