Bass of the Week: Moses Vertical Jump Bass

Originally featured March 29, 2012

Known for making graphite necks, Moses Carbon Graphite Guitars has always been into making forward-thinking products, and the Vertical Jump Bass is no exception. Built to be played vertically or horizontally, the bass has a swiveling bout horn for proper balance when wearing it with a strap.

Moses Vertical Jump Bass Cobalt Blue - Fingerboard

The Vertical Jump Bass has a polycarbonate body that comes in three options: Opaque Black, Translucent Cobalt Blue, and Clear. The bass sports the company’s graphite MZC style headless necks, which are complimented by an ABM headpiece and monorail bridge tuners. The fingerboard is also a proprietary Moses Carbon Graphite Non-wearing design, and holds 28 frets.

The pickups are typically Bartolini active soapbars, though Q-tuners are an available option. Electronics include a Bartolini 9-volt 2-band EQ, while the controls are Volume, Balance, and a stacked bass/treble knob.

The Moses Vertical Jump Bass is available for $1,785 in a 4-string version and $1,895 for a 5-stringer. For more, check out the Moses website.
