Xpression - XP
This bass provides the serious bass player with an instrument featuring optimum handling, serious tone and exceptional playability. Its extended range sound offers great definition throughout the entire tonal spectrum. Whether you slap, tap, pick or finger style, the XP reflects every nuance of your musical expression with grace. Only selected tone-woods are chosen for the sandwich glued body and the quarter sawn maple neck.
Its natural and woody sound can be tailored by a custom three-band EQ with perfectly matched centre frequencies and an "ultra low noise circuit" which makes it work absolute hiss-free even at higher boost levels. Active electronics can also be bypassed for full passive operation.
The innovative design and flawless craftsmanship of all the XP´s systems work to achieve a synergy that leads to an excellent bass for players that cover anything from traditional to modern to grinding heavy styles. This bass feels like home from the first touch.

Fretless XP15
The warm, full-bodied and vibrant sound of the Xpression lays the perfect foundation for an overwhelming fretless bass. We are proud to present an instrument that produces rich complex tones, and features superb response without the aid of electronic circuitry.
This bass is very responsive to hand position. Whether you go for a mellow and full sound towards the neck or you prefer a more straight ahead, twangy sound with lots of growl close to the bridge, it’s all in there. Common to all voices, the Xpression fretless offers a beautiful, singing sustain and a well-rounded, organic tone.
For levelling the output to a second (active) bass or avoiding signal loss due to long cable routings on stage, the fretless comes with a linear-preamp which can be activated if needed. 24 short fret lines on the fingerboard´s edge to the lowest string make it incredibly easy to navigate on the fretboard. This bass reflects every nuance of your musical expression with grace.
