\"Anka<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re taking a looking at fiery bass called the Hathor Deluxe from Anka Custom Guitars and Basses. Built with an alder body, the model features a striking AAAAA Quilted Maple top and walnut veneer that will make you look twice. <\/p>\n

The bass\u2019s ovangkol neck is matched with a wenge fingerboard sans inlays. Anka fits the five-string with big Nordstrand pickups \u2013 a Bigman in the bridge position and a Big Single in the neck \u2013 as well as a Nordstrand three-band preamp. Controls include Blend, Tone, Bass, Mids, Treble, a push\/pull volume for toggling active and passive operation, and mid-frequency selector switch. Finally, the Bigman pickup can be switched between humbucker and single coil operation. <\/p>\n
