Fret King Europa IV Bass Guitar Green Label
New Reduced Price!
The perfect compliment to the Fret-King Esprit range of
guitars, the Europa IV bass is a radical design which is firmly rooted in tradition, its one-piece korina set neck and three-piece korina body with 4” centre are a classic combination.
At first glance you might think you’ve seen it before, on
closer inspection you’ll find the Europa IV bass is a truly unique instrument in its own right.
The distinctive reverse peghead, asymmetric body, stepped front and signature pickguard all add up to a real statement of style.
You can almost see the low frequencies tumbling out of the giant EBO-style front pickup, its sound is so big and round it will fill the biggest of venues with profound and penetrating bass.
The middle and bridge pickups are a matching pair of Fret-King EB2-style mini humbuckers which give the Europa IV its high end punch, cutting through with chilling clarity, providing definition and detail.
With a volume per pickup and a master tone, complimented by a 5-way lever switch, five distinctly different sounds can be accessed, with total control over the balance between them.
Using a super resonant tonewood such as korina demands a solid bridge to transmit all of the string energy, fundamentals and harmonics through to the body, so the Europa IV bass features a no-nonsense, functional wrapover stop-bar tailpiece as a bridge, but with the strings anchored through the body to ensure massive sustain.
The Europa IV bass will rattle fillings at a thousand paces, looks so cool, and is such unmitigated fun to play, whether it’s rock, reggae, retro or metal.
Why should guitar players have all the fun!
