The Story
Prometeus Guitars has a way with creating interesting body shapes that still function well. They also have a knack for extended range basses. Both of those features are showcased on their Kirlian 8, a multi-scale eight-string bass that will stop you in your tracks.
The Prometeus is built around a padouk neck and wenge fingerboard with fanned frets. The strings, which range in scale from 35 inches to 32 inches, are spaced by 17mm. Its body wings are wenge topped with madrone burl, while the back features a zebrawood toneblock.
Prometeus rounds things out with matching padouk shells housing a ceramic Firekeeper humbucker, black hardware, and padouk knobs.
