Hagstrom - Nekromant 5 White Gloss

The Hagstrom Nekromant 5 White Gloss 5-string electric bass is designed for bassists who want a real reserve of low-end while retaining great freedom in tone shaping. Its mahogany body and mahogany neck, featuring a mortise-and-tenon joint, contribute to a rich, sustained response. With a 34" scale length and a Resinator™ fingerboard, it offers a stable playing feel and precise note reproduction across the entire range. The fingerboard also features a 15" radius, 20 Medium Jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl inlays that make it easy to find your way along the neck.

At the heart of this Nekromant 5, the two Hagstrom Gehenna Soap-Bar pickups are passive humbuckers calibrated to cover a wide frequency range. Their character shines through equally well in thick bass tones and more defined lines, with a sound that adapts to the various nuances of your playing. The built-in 3-band preamp adds a genuine tone-shaping section: bass, midrange and treble settings can be cut or boosted, whilst the preamp gain, the balance between the pickups and the master volume provide precise control over the final sound. A switch also allows you to switch between active and passive modes.

The construction also features a host of details designed with bass playing in mind. The Hagstrom Custom CNC bridge, machined from brass, utilises individually adjustable roller saddles to fine-tune the intonation of each string whilst promoting efficient vibration transmission. The Hagstrom tuning machines feature a 22:1 gear ratio to facilitate tuning adjustments, whilst the H-Expander™ truss rod system, which runs the full length of the neck, contributes to its stability and consistent playability. With its White Gloss finish, nickel-plated black Dome Speed knobs and asymmetrical Single Cut design, the Nekromant 5 has a personality as distinctive as its tonal range.
