Chowny Introduces NT-J and NT-B Basses

Chowny NT-J Bass

Chowny Basses have expanded their lineup with the NT-J and NT-B models. The neck-through basses each feature a maple and rosewood neck matched to a chambered Red Cedar body with a Rosewood top.

The models are set apart by their pickup configuration, with the NT-J sporting a pair of soapbar jazz pickups and the NT-B with a pair of soapbar humbuckers. Electronics include an active 2-band EQ.

The Chowny NT-J and NT-B basses come in right and left-handed versions, though the left handed versions are made to order with a 2-3 month turnaround. They are available for preorder at $625.65 with an expected delivery by the end of October. All preorders ship with an ABS hard case, premium cable, and branded Chowny picks.
