| Pin Bridge Halfling™ Bass | |
“The Halfling™ sounds... open. Free. Notes are independent events, unrestricted by other notes that occur simultaneously. Harmonies seem to work 'with' each other, not 'at' each other. The instrument seems to have a greater dynamic range because of the freedom of the sound. I find myself articulating things I used to just blow through.”
- Craig Whipps
If you're looking for a bass that features a more "Steel string" edginess and note fundamental, the Halfling™ Pin Bridge Bass is the one for you! It's bright and punchy and is more resistant to feedback. If you're a bluegrass player (or are just looking for a more traditional string tension feel) you will love the "dimensional voice-terous" quality of the Pin Bridge.

“It has a huge dynamic range and a nearly infinite tonal palette.”
- Chris McMahon
This Pin Bridge bass has an X braced top and is slightly lighter than the Vega model. It also features a bridge plate on the inside to allow the proper anchoring of the string ball ends. This bass has a B band pickup system, the "UST" model pickup and the B band endpin jack.
We also offer this instrument as a 5-String. Please contact us for pricing.
