\"Prometeus<\/p>\n

Any instrument named after the monomaniacal captain from Herman Melville\u2019s Moby Dick<\/em> needs to have a similar aggressive design, and the Prometeus Guitars Ahab delivers in spades. This week we check out a 6-string, multi-scale version of the bass that left me speechless. <\/p>\n

While the Ahab can be built with varying woods and materials, this particular bass sports a jaw-dropping Buckeye Burl top with matching pickup covers, knobs, and strap buttons. It features neck-thru construction with a Wenge neck, Wenge\/Niangon toneblock, Afzelia wings, and an ebony fingerboard. Since it has a multi-scale setup ranging from 35\u2033 to 32\u2033, it also has a fanned fret system. <\/p>\n

The pickups are a pair of medium impedance ceramic single coils.<\/p>\n
