Artist AB5 15th Anniversary Topaz Gold 5 String Bass Guitar

The above image is a mock-up that will be replaced with actual images as soon as possible.

We're turning 15! We've certainly come a long way from our humble beginnings producing a small range of electric guitars all those years ago! To celebrate, we're bringing you a range of pro-spec instruments at prices that defy belief - just as we've been doing for the last 15 years...

Rounding out the bass lineup for our Anniversary Range is the face-melting Artist AB5! Featuring a stunning epoxy resin "Topaz Gold" nitrocellulose finish, this 24-fret weapon is the snarling, snotty brother to the more refined AJB5, delivering brutal, high-output tones that pair perfectly with all manner of bass fuzz and distortion effects. Featuring a stunning roasted maple neck and rosewood fretboard, the AB5 is finished in a stunning limited edition Topaz Gold burled mahogany and resin finish custom-designed to pop under the lights of the stage!

With a pair of hand-wound pickups courtesy of the Laohao workshop. the dual humbuckers in this one are absolute face-melters, with booming, tight bass frequencies, and plenty of top-end to cut through the heaviest of mixes - there'll be no And Justice For All style bass travesties with the AB5 in your hands! Switch between active and passive mode for a huge variety of tonal options, which are only increased by the innovative three-band EQ in active mode - dedicated low, mid and high knobs allowing fine-tuning across the entire frequency spectrum!

Like the rest of our range, the 15th Anniversary AB5 has been painstakingly designed to perfectly balance professional quality with our famous affordability - the same ethos that has carried us since our first guitar rolled off the line all those years ago.

Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or you've come in late, we can't thank you enough for supporting us in delivering quality instruments at an affordable price. Here's to another 15 years, and many more!
