\"Wreck<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re checking out the W Minor 5 by Wreck Guitars. Introduced late last year, the model can be fitted with a number of woods and pickup configurations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a modern bass for light right arm playing with bridge moved more to the end of an instrument,\u201d the company writes. \u201c[The W Minor 5\u2019s] balance is perfect for sitting position as [well as] stand up playing, so there is no neck dive or any stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wreck Guitars are handcrafted in Croatia. This particular bass features an ash body topped by quilted maple in a violin burst finish. Its three-piece maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard and 24 frets. The pickups are a pair of Dolezal HCJB5 hum canceling single coils matched to a Noll TCM2 preamp. Controls are Volume, Balance, Passive Tone, Bass, and Treble. Finally, the hardware is made by Schaller.<\/p>\n
