Bass of the Week: Fant Guitars Omega Bass
This week we’re checking out the Omega bass by Fant Guitars, which features a cool oversized pickup cover/pickguard shaped like their logo. The bass also has an interesting blend of tone woods: the body and fingerboard are made of cherry while the neck and top are made from walnut. The body is finished is a cool vintage purple that pops against the cherry pickup cover.
