Handcrafted by luthier Battistoni in Italy, this bass features a swamp ash body, maple neck, and maple fretboard with 24 stainless steel jumbo frets. Its multi-scale neck is supported with two truss rods with spoke wheel adjustors at the end of the fingerboard. <\/p>\n<p>Battistoni fit the bass with three Dingwall pickups and a Darkglass Electronics preamp. Its control set includes Bass, Mid, Hi-Mid, Volume (with push\/pull for active or passive operation), and Blend. Finally, the bass is finished in a high-gloss to make the intricate burl really stand out. <\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BHI-Guitars-Perseo-6BBLS-Body.jpg?fit=933%2C622&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BHI-Guitars-Perseo-6BBLS-Upper-Horn-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BHI-Guitars-Perseo-6BBLS-Controls-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BHI-Guitars-Perseo-6BBLS-Lower-Horn-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/BHI-Guitars-Perseo-6BBLS-Back-1000x667.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n<h2>BHI Guitars Perseo 6BBLS Specs:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-callout\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we\u2019re checking out the BHI Guitars Perseo 6BBLS, a stunning six-string headless bass featuring a magnificent buckeye burl top.
