The bass sports a light purple color under a poly high-gloss finish, which nicely complements the birdseye maple fingerboard.<\/p>\n<p>Anka built the bass with an alder body and a neck layered with maple and purpleheart. Although the neck is wider to accommodate six strings, the scale is shortened to 33 inches. Paired with a headless design, it makes the bass quite compact for a six-string.<\/p>\n<p>The Noumeno has plenty of sonic versatility for its size, too. It features a pair of Nordstrand NJ6s around an NP6 split-coil. All three pickups are fed into a Trickfish 3-band preamp. <\/p>\n<p>Hear the bass in action with a demo from the company:<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><\/div>\n<h2>Anka Custom Noumeno HL 6-String Photos:<\/h2>\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\/2026\/10\/Anka-Custom-Noumeno-HL-6-String-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\/2026\/10\/Anka-Custom-Noumeno-HL-6-String-Back-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\/2026\/10\/Anka-Custom-Noumeno-HL-6-String-Body-Back-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\/2026\/10\/Anka-Custom-Noumeno-HL-6-String-head-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 -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n<h2>Anka Custom Noumeno HL 6-String Specs:<\/h2>\n<p><!--[googlesitekit-end-of-content]--><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-callout\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we\u2019re checking out the Anka Custom Basses Noumeno HL, a headless six-string with a lot of attitude.
