Description
The fundamental Bass
The low-end legend of the Starplayer TV family.
Meet the Starplayer Bass: a short-scale semi-hollow powerhouse packed with personality.
Loved by bass players around the globe, it delivers a rich, full-bodied tone with deep, thunderous lows and a warm, resonant foundation that anchors any groove with effortless style. Whether you're laying down vintage vibes or driving modern rhythms, the Starplayer Bass brings character to every note.
Elegance, In Full Color
The latest Starplayer Bass arrives in three distinctive finishes.
Deep Black pairs a piano-black body with subtle gold detailing on a high-gloss black pickguard for a sleek, refined look. Tobacco Burst embraces classic tradition with warm, vintage-inspired character. For those who like to stand out, Black Velvet combines a contemporary matte finish with luxurious gold hardware, creating a confident statement that's impossible to ignore.
Features
- Semi-Hollow Construction: Semi-Hollow instruments deliver a unique and open response that cannot be compared to the sound of a Solid-Body construction. Our specialised construction additionally blocks most feedback and keeps you going even on high gain levels.
- Bassbucker Pickups: Two of our Bassbucker Pickups will give you clear and rich overtones and crisp response in any situation. Seperate volume controls for each Pickup and a master tone dial allow you to blend the pickups to your preferred setting.
- Plek Processed: A Plek processed fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our multi-step fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes all our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.
Fundamental Bass
Built on the proven design of our iconic Starplayer TV, the Starplayer Bass brings the same unmistakable character to the low end.
Its semi-hollow construction features an arched spruce top, a flamed maple back and bent sides, and a neck crafted from American Hard Rock Maple, topped with a 12" Indian rosewood fingerboard for a smooth, familiar feel.
Have you tried switching it off and on again?
Designed with studio players in mind, the Starplayer Bass gives you total control over your sound.
Independent volume controls for each pickup let you dial in everything from subtle blends to full-on character, creating a wide range of tonal possibilities.
And when silence matters, there's a smarter way to get it. A discreet kill switch on the pickguard mutes the bass instantly while preserving your pickup blend settings, so you're ready to jump back in without touching a knob.
