We are proud to have our factory located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, which was the original inspiration for combining adventure with guitars. We are proud to do the design, assembly, and most of the building in our own factory in Utah, and we buy parts and materials from world renowned factories overseas. A big question we ask ourselves is: which part of the guitar building process requires the most skill, and impacts the player the most? The first half or the second half? Our answer:  the second half. So we outsource some parts and materials (the first half), and keep the second half of the manufacturing process in house, and do it ourselves. This allows us to scale as a company and focus on building quality instruments that are incredible to play and listen to, which is our main goal.

Durable, reliable, and carefree. This carbon fiber neck is the ultimate bass guitar neck, with a composite ebony fretboard, minimalistic light weight headstock, fully adjustable truss rod, thin heel, detachable for travel, and perfectly shaped profile, it’s hard to think of anything more you could ask for.

While plastic pickguards have been reliable and used for decades by many bass brands, the KLOS carbon fiber pickguard takes the concept of a pickguard to a whole new level. Having a fully loaded pickguard has a lot of benefits. With all the knobs, switches, and pickups, wired together, it makes it easier to manufacture, and allows the end user to make future customizations a breeze. Now with having the KLOS pickguard being carbon fiber, we introduce the best of both worlds, being convenient, and having the superior look and feel.

The perfect blend of performance and light weight. The aluminum body is machined from a solid block making it lightweight with precision quality. The saddles are individually machined out of brass to give the optimal sustain and sound transfer. The hardtail, string through bridge design also can be made to be string through body. For those who don’t mind the extra weight, we also have the option to have a solid brass bridge block. This bridge is as premium as it gets.

The KLOS bass body comes in 2 wood options, Okoume, and Ash, both of which are superior choices for a solid body bass. 

Ash is used for it’s high density, strength, and the beauty of it’s wood grain. 

Okoume is used because of its extreme similarities to mahogany, and while mahogany is currently becoming an endangered species of wood, Okoume is an excellent choice for it being a lightweight hardwood, and being unbelievably similar to mahogany for both tone and looks. Okoume, like mahogany, is less heavy than Ash, and is often chosen by many guitarists for this reason.

These humbuckers blackout pickups have a flavor of traditional humbuckers with a modern touch. Durable injection molded casing with epoxy sealed internals, these pickups produce an articulate sound with a responsive feel. They can easily handle a wide range of tone from clean and quiet, to aggressive drive. 

Standard is 3 knob setup with 1 neck Vol, 1 bridge Vol, 1 Tone.  (Passive refers to no battery)

Original and totally re-imagined, Fishman Fluence pickups have 3 voicings with a coil split, which is like having 6 basses packed into 1, resulting in a wide range of tones that can play any genre. It’s thanks to the patented new technology that doesn’t use wire coils. The Fishman Fluence are free from hum and noise, even with the single coil voicing. The controls have the Push Pull the knobs to go to single coil, and a 3 way switch to choose the voicing. Standard wiring is with 4 knobs (1 volume, 1 blend, 1 bass EQ, 1 treb EQ).

One of the greatest design features of the KLOS electric and bass, is that you can easily customize the pickguard to fit any pickups and any knob configuration you want, and we will cut the pickguard and do the wiring. For musicians that are very set on a certain type of pickup, or knob configuration, we will cut the pickguard on our CNC, and solder all the wires and pots, and build you exactly what you want. If you ever want a new pickguard setup in the future, the KLOS carbon pickguard can be easily swapped out for a custom cut pickguard to fit any pickup shape, position, and number of knobs. No need to buy a completely new bass, just because you want different pickups and knobs. (With this option,  you provide the pickups, pots, switch, and exact wiring diagram)

Upgrade your 4th string tuner on your bass to have the famous Bass Xtender, which allows you to instantly drop the tuning of your low string and then back up again with the flip of a lever. You can adjust the limit screw to precisely and consistently have the tuning you prefer. If you add this to your order we will install it for you.

The neck is a detachable neck that makes it easy to disassemble into a carry-on bag or suitcase.  It is attached with 4 screws, like most bolt-on wood necks, but the KLOS carbon neck has metal threaded inserts, and uses machine screws specifically designed to make the neck removable. With a removable neck, traveling with the bass as a carry on, or putting the bass in a standard size suitcase is more easy than ever. 

The fretboard on the neck is a composite synthetic ebony which does not expand or contract with temperature or humidity changes, or with time, which means You will never have sharp fret issues, and your great great grand children won’t either. The beautiful ebony-like fretboard is dense, durable and smooth. 

The headstock is a compact shape, making the overall length of the neck shorter, with a 2+2 tuner pattern that still has the same spacing as a 4 in a row, making tuning your strings just as comfortable, yet feel lighter. The tuners are the heaviest part of the neck, so keeping the weight of the tuners as close to the body as possible, and having a lightweight carbon neck will make bass playing for hours even more enjoyable.
