The Tiger offers an original body shape, blending traditional P-style and J-style influences into a unique, balanced design. This 5-string monster offers a lightweight body, 34” scale length, 9.5–12” compound radius fretboard, and dual Lollar passive J-style pickups with individual volume controls and a master tone circuit. With outrageous low end and all the clarity you’d need for slapping and popping, this bass covers an enormous tonal spectrum, and sits beautifully in the mix—on stage or in the studio.

How Does It Play?

This bass plays beautifully, with string action hovering right around 3/32” at the 12^th fret, a hair above on the bass side and hair lower on the treble side. There is no fretbuzz, and Avi Shabat dresses his fret ends nicer than anybody else we know. The neck is a sure-to-please medium C and features gently-rolled edges to maximize comfort.
