An incredible Rework of Bass Guitar Pickup Design that Uses 95 Percent less Copper! The Alumitone 5 String Bass Bar pickups provide zero noise with an ultra wide frequency response and light weight design that can lighten your bass up to two pounds without any modification to the guitar aside from a pickup swap! Designed by Jeff Lace , these Alumitone Bass Bars are the perfect upgrade to 5 string basses with a conventional sized soap bar pickup. These current driven pickups are designed for passive installation. However, due to their low resistance, they will not only work with existing preamp technology but will enhance the sonic range of it, as well. Formally introduced for Earth Day, the revolutionary Alu mitone family of pickups use 95% less copper wire then standard pickup designs. By reducing the need for copper it saves valuable resources, reduces open pit mining and the very high energy need for converting copper ore to fine wire. Alumitone Bass Bar technology uses patented and patent pending technology only available thru Lace Music Products.

This beautiful 6-string ESP bass has a mahogany body with a flamed maple top that is left au natural giving it an elegant light wood tone. If it weren't for the two walnut stripes of walnut and the slightly paler maple of the 5-piece neck-thru design you'd almost swear the body of the B-1006 bass guitar was all cut from the same wood. While the guitar doesn't have much frills other than beveled edges, graceful woodgrain lines, subtle dot inlays, and black hardware in the aesthetic department, it more than makes up for it in its electronics. Helping you get the most tone out of this stunning axe are an EMG 45TW bridge pickup with a push-pull coil tap on volume knob, EMG 45P6 active neck pickup, and an EMG B64 3-band active EQ. The thin "U" neck contour and double cutaway design on this 35" scale B-1006 bass makes it easy to access all 6 strings and 24 XJ frets while a Hipshot bridge and Hipshot tuners help keep your strings in position and tune no matter how hard you're digging.
