The Orbitron guitar got so many longing gazes by bassists, that we just had to create a version of the instrument that could hold down the lower register!
This is a short-scale (30") bass, with a jazz type neck profile that makes it easy (and dare we say...fun) to play.
Great pains were taken to adapt the Orbitron guitar body to a bass instrument. We were able to calculate the sweet spot for the pickup location by scaling down the Precision bass pickup placement to fit our 30" scale. Nailed it!
Speaking of pickup, this has a custom-made jazz humbucker by ColMax Pickups, and it can really deliver the goods.
Great things come in small packages...
