\"Off<\/p>\n

A collaboration between Martin Off and luthier Jozsi Lak, the Off Guitar Design soulbrotha\u2019 bass is unique mix of retro and modern design aesthetics. The bass, which gets its design from the company\u2019s soulsista\u2019 guitar, is handmade by Lak in Germany. <\/p>\n

Much of the soulbrotha\u2019s construction is optional, from the body wood (alder, swamp ash or mahogany) to the neck (birdseye or flamed maple) to the fingerboard (rosewood, figured maple, or ebony). Even the neck shape, fretboard radius, and fret size are up to the end user. Of course, fretless and left-handed options are available, too.<\/p>\n

Standard hardware includes Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a Hipshot bridge, while the pickups are typically by David Barfuss or H\u00e4ussel. The bass comes with a simple passive electronics setup, though active can be installed.<\/p>\n
