\"GMR<\/p>\n

While checking out different luthiers\u2019 websites, I came across the GMR Bassforce NT: a neck-through version of their flagship model. Based out of the UK, GMR\u2019s Bassforce is proof of their constant work. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe shape is seen on Bassforce is a case of evolution of early models which started coming out from the workshop nearly 30 years ago,\u201d explains GMR\u2019s Daniel Sakowski. \u201cSimply \u2013 we try to achieve the best balance between looks, sound and comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with the rest of their instruments, the Bassforce NT is entirely handcrafted without aid from digital equipment like CNC cutters. The woods used, which GMR admits they have \u201can element of snobbery\u201d in choosing, include a mahogany body with a flamed maple top, a 3-piece maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and an ebony nut. The pickups are a pair of Bassculture dualcoil soapbars that are matched up with John East U-Retro 5-knob electronics. Hardware includes an ETS bridge, Gotoh tuners, and Schaller security locks.<\/p>\n

Each GMR Bassforce NT is built to order with plenty of options available. The base price is \u00a33100 (approx. $4862 USD), with a build time of 5-8 months. For more info, check out the GMR website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
