Four string electric bass with Delano Xtender pickup and active electronics, including gig bag
With the Human Base Roxy B4 Transparent Black, the forge for noble basses from Waldems presents a straightforwardly designed all-round four-stringer, which not only convinces with a flawless workmanship, but also with high-quality features and comfortable playing characteristics. Here Human Base relies on a lightweight body made of swamp ash, while maple is used for the six-bolt neck. Thanks to the flat "C" profile and the contoured neck pocket, grooves and runs up to the highest registers of the 24-fret rosewood fingerboard go smoothly and easily out of the hand. At the bass amp, the Delano The Xtender pickup placed in the sweet spot in the eye-catching oval housing provides a powerful yet detailed sound. Using the mini-switch on the Pickguard, the coils of the pickup can be connected in series for a powerful sound or in parallel for a more open sound. For precise adjustment of the sound is furthermore an active 3-band tone control on board. Last but not least, the Human Base Roxy B4 Transparent Black is equipped with an ETS Tuning fork bass bridge and precise Kluson bass machine heads.

Delivery took a month to Qatar. DHL gave it to QatarPost. I made a typo in PO Box and QatarPost delivered to that PO Box. Luckily I found tel number connected to this PO Box in Google and finally found my parcel. Otherwise nor a QatarPost neither DHL did not help saying it was delivered already. Also the outer box looked like someone was jumping on it. Despite all bad experiences with delivery and long waiting time the instrument is very good quality. Straight neck, no sharp frets. The weight more on heavy side. High quality bridge. Very clean preamp, almost zero hiss. Plenty of sounds with eq and series/parallel/passive. Passive switch does not change the volume and very quiet. For those who thinks it’s a stingray - it’s not due different preamp and pick-up, but very close. Came with good set up, done by musicstore (thank you) and nice gig bag way better quality than my fender one. It is still intune after 1 month of travelling! Opened the box and started playing! So far I’m very happy with this bass.
This is a great quallity instrument much better than my Ray34 that I bought last year. Has very nice quallity and electronics on it and special detail on the craftsmanship.
I suggest this bass if you like the more modern sound of P and a Stingray, actually you can play whatever you like!
