RA SERIES

RA SERIES

With the increasing popularity of Soul, R&B, Funk and even Progressive rock of the 1960’s by the early 70’s these genres of music seemed to reach most favorable. Our RA Series, often spoken as our house favorite hits the mark on being the best of both worlds from those significant ‘60’s & 70’s eras of great bass tones. The mixture of an alder body (commonly used on basses built during the 60’s) combined with an all maple neck (almost a standard of basses manufactured during the 70s) then moving the bride pick up a tad closer to the bridge (as done on a very popular bass in 1972 to primarily to fit under a pickup fence) all creates a unique, blend of the two distinct periods of basses of their time. Many say these have the warmth of the 60’s with the snap of the 70’s basses. For those players with many different gigs or those looking to scale down to one or two working instruments this would be our recommendation and a great consideration. As with the LG & LM the RA too includes our bypass-able two-band ALLEVA-COPPOLO preamp and our custom in-house pickups designed to correctly represent this era of bass building.
