KLOS Guitars Unveils the Apollo Electric Bass

KLOS Apollo Electric Bass Blue

KLOS Guitars is launching the Apollo Series of electric instruments, including the Apollo Electric Bass. The bass, which comes in standard and Pro versions, features composite technology with a carbon fiber neck.

The Apollo is built with an Okoume body fitted with a pair of KLOS humbuckers. It has an ABS pickguard with KLOS hardware. The company ups the game with the Apollo Pro, which is crafted with an ash body in a dark finish. Its pickguard is also made from carbon fiber, but KLOS switches to Fishman Fluence pickups. Other upgrades include premium locking tuners, a machined aluminum bridge with brass saddles, a TUSQ nut, and a premium gig bag.

The KLOS Apollo basses are available for pre-order with estimated shipping in July. The Apollo model carries a price of $949 while the Apollo Pro starts at $1,999.
