\"\"<\/p>\n

With time comes innovation, and for bass players, it means lighter rigs, improved effects pedals, and ergonomic basses. The Little Guitar Works Torzal Bass is a prime example of that progressive ideology. The customizable bass features your choice of woods and pickups, but the real \u201cTwist\u201d is in the neck. Literally. <\/p>\n

Developed in the mid-90s as a response to players with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the Torzal Standard\u2019s neck is rotated a total of 35 degrees, with (+)15 degrees at the bridge and (-)20 at the nut. The twist allows for more natural positions for both left and right hands, reducing tension from conforming to the instrument and ultimately lowering the risk of injury. <\/p>\n

The strings aren\u2019t parallel to each other, the fretboard follows the angle to keep intonation and tone. Builder Jerome Little also took weight and balance into account for overall comfort.<\/p>\n

The Little Guitar Works Torzal Standard is available in 4- or 5-string versions.<\/p>\n
