Haven

The Haven adds slightly improved form and functionality to the classic approach of the Stetson. Originally intended to provide a modern look for jazz bassists when it was introduced in 1960, this offset body shape now has a post modern form that will captivate not only your eyes, but your heart as well. The slimmer neck profile and dual pickups increased playability and versatility. This has made it a favorite for such legends as the jazz great Jaco Pastorius and the standard for many modern bassists. Our stock model features a traditional lightweight ash body, two hand wound single coil pickups, and your choice of a rosewood or maple fretboard.

Stetson

The Stetson is an homage to that first solid body electric bass produced back in 1951. Compared to the stand-up double bass that preceded this compact form, the development of a fretted fingerboard finally allowed notes to be played with "precision". Used by every bassist from the likes of Motown’s James Jamerson, all the way to modern players like Pino Palladino, this bass has become a work horse and has earned its place in history among the true classics. This intrument truly embodies the spirit of a true vintage bass. Our standard model features a traditional lightweight ash body, hand wound split single coil pickup, and your choice of a rosewood or maple fretboard.

Flea Jazz Bass®

Flea's funk- and jazz-influenced basslines helped propel the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the top of the rock and alternative charts while redefining the role of bass in the modern era. Flea's unique playing style brought a welcome breath of fresh air to the musical landscape of the past four decades, inspiring countless bassists to add a funky touch to their sound while exploring new techniques and harmonic possibilities. To celebrate his enduring influence, we've recreated his prized Shell Pink '61 Jazz Bass that he received from a fan and used to record the Peppers' Stadium Arcadium and The Getaway, as well as with the supergroup, Atoms For Peace.

Over the course of the ‘70s, the Jazz Bass entered its “teenage years,” changing its visual style and inspiring new playing techniques—such as slapping—which led directly to new, creative forms of expression. Its smooth feel and growly midrange, tempered with a bit of treble bite, made it a hero in recording sessions around the globe.
