Hagstrom - Nekromant 5 Black Gloss Left Handed

Add more depth to your lines with the Hagstrom Nekromant 5 Black Gloss Left-Handed, a 5-string electric bass for left-handers that invites you to make full use of the low end and vary your playing styles. Its mahogany body and mahogany neck, joined with a mortise-and-tenon joint, give the instrument a solid foundation that’s evident in both heavy riffs and more fluid grooves. The 34" (864 mm) scale length retains a familiar feel for bassists, with a neck width of 19 mm at the first fret and 20.5 mm at the twelfth. The Resinator™ fingerboard features a 15" (381 mm) radius, 20 Medium Jumbo frets and Hagstrom Block inlays in synthetic mother-of-pearl.

Make the most of the low B string to go even lower, shift certain phrases down the neck or add more depth to the lines that underpin the track. The two passive Gehenna soap-bar humbuckers provide a rich and defined tonal foundation, with a pickup blend control to shape the tone. The 3-band preamp offers cut/boost controls for bass, midrange and treble, as well as preamp gain and master volume. Switching between active and passive modes also allows you to tailor the bass’s response to your playing style and the sound you’re aiming for.

Whether for riffs that need to go deep into the low end or for more melodic lines, the 5-string configuration offers a particularly interesting playground. The Hagstrom Custom CNC brass bridge, fitted with individually adjustable roller saddles, allows for precise intonation adjustment on each string. The Hagstrom tuning machines with a 22:1 ratio also make tuning adjustments easier, with nickel-plated black Dome Speed knobs that complement the Black Gloss finish. With its string gauges ranging from .130 to .045 and its versatile electronics, this left-handed version gives bassists plenty of scope to develop their lines without holding back their creativity.
