His flagship bass model called the Chromasonic is proof that he\u2019s on the right track. <\/p>\n<p>Available in 4- and 5-string versions, the bass is designed with a unique body shape that includes his \u201cforearm facet\u201d to add dimension and comfort to the Chromasonic\u2019s lower bout. It\u2019s built with a swamp ash body finished in a gloss urethane with faux binding as well as a one-piece maple neck and fretboard. Lowe fits the basses with a pair of TV Jones ThunderBlade pickups wired with a Volume\/Volume\/Tone control configuration. Hardware includes a Lowe signature dual load bridge made by Hipshot as well as a signature designed pickup rings and Hipshot Ultralite tuners.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to his other instruments, Lowe designs, fabricates, finishes, and assembles the Chromasonic in the USA.
