Bass of the Week: Vola Guitars 5 STM J1
This week, we’re checking out the Vola Guitars 5 STM J1, a signature model they designed in collaboration with Steve Tréguier of The Dali Thundering Concept. Its curvy ash body has a sandblasted Olympic White matte finish to show off the wood’s grain.
Its roasted maple bolt-on neck has a modern “C” shape for comfort, while the bass has an extra long 35-inch scale. Other features include Vola SB5 pickups and a 3-band EQ plus a killswitch.
