Luthier Yvan Monfette was inspired to create Yorick\u2019s weapon in real life, complete with a sharp looking body and skull headstock. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe body of that bass is made of white ash and the neck is a 3-piece hard Canadian maple,\u201d Monfette writes. \u201cIt is equipped with Dimarzio pickups. DP147 for the neck and DP148 for the bridge.  Because of the skull, the headless system from Hipshot is perfect for that bass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out this demo of the bass being played by Mathieu Gosselin:\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channelid=\"UCuHKXHw5P891LFZOmrpFWEw\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><\/div>\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\/2019\/02\/Monfette-Guitars-Pentakill-Yoricks-Bass-Body-3-1000x667.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\/2019\/02\/Monfette-Guitars-Pentakill-Yoricks-Bass-Body-5-1000x667.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\/2019\/02\/Monfette-Guitars-Pentakill-Yoricks-Bass-Body-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\/2019\/02\/Monfette-Guitars-Pentakill-Yoricks-Bass-Body-2-1000x667.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\/2019\/02\/Monfette-Guitars-Pentakill-Yoricks-Bass-Head-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\/2019\/02\/Monfette-Guitars-Pentakill-Yoricks-Bass-Skull-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 --><\/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>Monfette Guitars Pentakill Yorick\u2019s Bass Specifications:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-callout\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a fan of the game League of Legends, you may be familiar with Pentakill Yorick, the undead heavy metal band member that wields a bass to fight his enemies.
