{"product_id":"hagstrom-sweb-tsb-swede-bass-electric-bass-tobacco-sunburst","title":"Hagstrom SWEB-TSB Swede Bass Electric Bass (Tobacco Sunburst)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn honor of the Hagstrom classic Swede, the Swede Bass makes a return to the Hagstrom line after nearly 40 years. Featuring a short, 30.75-inch (781mm) scale length, the all mahogany, set-neck Swede Bass offers enormous sustain and easy playability. One of the most important traits inherited from the Swede guitar is Hagstrom's classic tailpiece design with its massive blocks directly coupled to the body for optimal transmission of string energy, a key contributor to the Swede Bass's thunderous, piano-like tones. Easy-to-use and easy-to-play. Include a 3-way tone switch, another genetic contribution from the Swede Bass' brother, and you have an easy-to-use and easy-to-play source for your next collection of great bass sounds. On top of it all, you can coil split the humbuckers to single coil mode, individually for neck and bridge pickups, by pulling on the respective Tone potentiometer knob. The Swede Bass' classic, single-cut design will be the perfect partner for players looking for superior tone, comfort, and sonic versatility, and is available in four classic Hagstrom colors: White, Wild Cherry Transparent, Black Gloss, and Vintage Sunburst. Swede Bass Standards H-Expander All Hagstrom electric guitars and basses include their patented H-Expander truss rod. Providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet lightweight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck, two factors that were instrumental in earning Hagstrom its reputation as the world's fastest playing guitar. The H-Expander truss rod not only provides ultimate neck stability, but it also contributes to Hagstrom's unique tone. Longer sustain and a round attack are some of the sonic characteristics the H-Expander adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom. Hagstrom Machine Heads Hagstrom models use 18:1 or 15:1 gear ratio machine heads based on their own designs to ensure accurate tuning. Viking and HB series basses feature machine heads with a 17:1 gear ratio. Resinator Wood Resinator wood is a wood composite material that is both more uniform in density and more stable than any standard wood product. These characteristics eliminate dead spots or \"wolf tones\" sometimes associated with conventional wood fingerboards. Resinator wood has an articulate sound similar to high-quality ebony, but without any of the problems associated with ebony. It provides a stable and clear tone and also adds higher overtones and harmonics, which uniquely detail each note. Like their H-Expander truss rod, Resinator wood is a major contributor to the distinctive \"Hagstrom tone\". Sustain Block Tailpiece Hagstrom's unique Sustain Block Tailpiece was the result of design work starting in 1976 and made its first appearance on Swede and Super Swede guitars produced in 1978. Since then, it has been a signature feature on many of their solid body models. Each string terminates in a single, massive brass block coupled directly to the guitar's body. The blocks are detached from one another to reduce interference between the strings, maximizing each string's unique contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hagstrom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49672411381997,"sku":"SWEB-TSB","price":1428.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/files\/7ec188ec39a74f8fd2f705e651f5391a.jpg?v=1773771840","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/hagstrom-sweb-tsb-swede-bass-electric-bass-tobacco-sunburst","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
