The headless multiscale design has a 36-inch B-string and a 34-inch G-string. It\u2019s built with quartersawn lumber for its chestnut body and flame maple neck. The ebony fingerboard has 24 frets that are marked with tubular brass inlays. Other features include Lace Aluma Bassbar pickups, a volume\/volume\/tone control configuration, and a Mera bridge. <\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Meta-Guitars-Veil-Long-Scale-Bass-Controls-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Meta-Guitars-Veil-Long-Scale-Bass-Body-Angle-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Meta-Guitars-Veil-Long-Scale-Bass-Front-Angle-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Meta-Guitars-Veil-Long-Scale-Bass-Profile-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Meta-Guitars-Veil-Long-Scale-Bass-Back-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France\u2019s Meta Guitars has a bass model called the Veil, which comes in long, medium, and short-scale versions.
