Built for Martino Garattoni of Ne Obliviscaris, the bass is a six-string featuring their Promethean body and Reaver headstock. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe called it The Blue Bastard whilst building it \u2013 I think it\u2019s quite fitting,\u201d the company writes. \u201cThing sounds ace too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bass features neck-through construction with a 34-inch scale length. Its 11-piece neck is constructed from wenge and flamed maple while the body wings are swamp ash. The top is a single piece of Mappa burl. Carillion utilized Richlite for the fingerboard and its binding. <\/p>\n<p>Other features include EMG pickups and electronics, Gotoh Tuners, and an ABM bridge. It also has two thumb ramps next to the pickups made from 5,300-year-old bog oak. <\/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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Body-1000x667.jpeg\" 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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Pickups-1000x667.jpeg\" 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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Body-Angle-1000x667.jpeg\" 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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Headstock-1000x667.jpeg\" 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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Body-Bottom-1000x667.jpeg\" 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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Body-Back-1000x667.jpeg\" 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\/2021\/12\/Carillion-Guitars-Promethean-6-Singlecut-Bass-Back-of-Headstock-1000x667.jpeg\" 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 --><\/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<div class=\"photo-caption\">Photos by Will Satchwell<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we\u2019re checking out a Promethean 6 Singlecut by Carillion Guitars.
