Music Man Reflex HSS Bass Guitar, MN, Black

Full Description

Ash Body & Maple Top

Constructed from an Ash body the Reflex HSS is lightweight yet extremely resonant and produces a firm and punchy tonality. Although lightweight Ash delivers fantastic sustain and produces a growling deep low response with plenty of character whilst the Maple top is a dense wood which enhances the brightness of the tone giving the Reflex HSS a lively yet focused overall tone.

Bolt-On Neck & Sculpted Neck Heel

Incorporating a bolt-on Maple neck the Reflex HSS ensures maximum sustain and reliability is delivered by using 5 heavy duty bolts to connect the body and neck together. Perfectly aligned and with no room for shifting the Maple neck ensures a resonant tone with a smooth playability due to the sculpted neck heel which fits to the palm and provides advanced access to the higher register.

High Output Bridge Humbucker

Loaded with a single high output humbucker the Reflex HSS provides a deep and hot tonality. Incorporating large ceramic magnets the beefy humbucker packs in a mighty punch whilst retaining attention to detail and high middle pop. Additionally the tone can be altered and fine tweaked with the tone control, pickup switching and active EQ controls.

Single Coil Neck and Middle Pickups

With two single coil pickups in the middle and neck position the Reflex HSS can produce a range of different tones. Constructed from neodymium magnets the single coil pickups provide a bright and clear tone whilst plenty of pop and definition. The incorporation of 3 pickup selector switches also lets you create unique blends between the single coil and humbucking pickups to deliver a huge range of impressive tones.

Active/Passive Switch

An active/passive switch allows you to switch the pickup configuration into active or passive operating modes. When in the active mode you can use the 4-band EQ controls to further shape and optimize your tone. With a stacked control configuration the 4-band EQ is split into bass/treble and high mid/low mid dual rotary controls. In passive mode you may only use the volume and tone controls to shape your sound.
