Our friend Russ Sargeant posted a picture of this fantastic Anaconda Crusher Standard and I was hooked. Built in England, the hand-crafted bass has some nice curves for ergonomics and aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p>The Crusher comes in several flavors, with the Standard version offering all of the most important features in a clean package. It comes fretted and fretless versions, each of which is created with 5-piece bolt-on Canadian Rock maple neck with wenge stringers. Its body can be ash or swamp ash with the option of a French Lacewood top.<\/p>\n<p>Pickups include a pair of Bartolini P45CBC\u2019s that can be switched between series, single coil, and parallel modes. Anaconda matches them with a Glockenklang 3-band EQ that can be switched into passive functionality. The hardware includes Wilkinson Lightweight tuners and a Sung Il bass bridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Anaconda Crusher Standard CX5 Bass Photos:<\/h2>\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\/2014\/04\/Anaconda-Crusher-Standard-CX5-Pickups-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\/2014\/04\/Anaconda-Crusher-Standard-CX5-Headstock-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\/2014\/04\/Anaconda-Crusher-Standard-CX5-Body-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/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 -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook is great for discovering new and beautiful instruments.
