\"Meta<\/p>\n

Bass Upfront founder David Sutkin has a boatload of amazing basses<\/a>. This week, we\u2019re featuring the latest four-string in his collection: the Meta Guitars Pragma \u201cSutkin Signature.\u201d The new model is the first double cutaway body from the French bass specialists. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis unique design is a headless, multi-scale bass, handcrafted by Fred from Meta Guitars that was conceived to meet David\u2019s demand for full access to the 24th fret and a powerful-sounding yet articulate and versatile instrument,\u201d Meta shares. \u201cWith this in mind, a new model emerges that embodies precision, comfort, and limitless playability. Every inch of this bass is carefully crafted, and every detail meticulously cared.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bass, which weighs in at 6.6 pounds, features set-neck construction with a red alder body, a 5A flamed maple neck, and a 3A flamed ebony fingerboard. Meta writes that the body shape was sculpted to fit the player\u2019s body, blending form and function to \u201cfeel like an extension of your own movement.\u201d The 24 frets are marked with tubular aluminum side dots as well as Sutkin\u2019s signature lion head logo at the 12th fret. <\/p>\n

The Pragma Sutkin Signature is equipped with DiMarzio Relentless P\/J pickups, featuring two volume knobs and a master tone control. Another interesting feature is in its hardware. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis bass features the new proprietary saddles with a refined design that matches the high quality of the bass,\u201d the company explains. \u201cThe materials are wisely chosen to deliver a clear, massive, and focused tone without compromising the lightweight. The tuning is smooth, and the adjustments are easy to reach and can be done with only one key for all the setups. Last but not least, the anodizing and coating are made at the workshop, allowing an infinite combination of colors and textures.\u201d<\/p>\n
