Germany\u2019s Wahlbrink Basses created the Hades as a workhorse bass that is \u201cless fancy\u201d than their Art-Line, but even so the model is a beauty. Here we\u2019re checking out a four-string Hades dubbed the Salmo Salar, or Atlantic Salmon. The clean white finish is accented by a pickguard covered with genuine salmon leather, which Wahlbrink describes as \u201ctough, pleasant to the touch, and always asked about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Wahlbrink<\/p>\n

It\u2019s built with the classic combination of an alder body and maple neck with an ebony fingerboard. More specifically, the neck is a master grade piece of Quilted Canadian Hard Maple that was only oiled for a jaw-dropping look and nice feel. The pickups are a pair of H\u00e4ussel Bassbars matched to a Noll TCM 2 preamp. Its controls are kept simple with volume, balance, treble\/bass, and a passive switch. Other features include Schaller BM Light tuners and ETS hardware. <\/p>\n
