An ideal instrument for high-speed playing, this guitar blends style with a Sin City Sparkle finish and matching headstock with black Charvel logo and chrome hardware. The alder body is coupled with a graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple speed neck with comfortably rolled fingerboard edges. The 12-16-inch compound radius maple fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel for quick and convenient neck relief tweaks.
This bass has a beautiful poplar burl top in a purple burst finish that looks like a photo of a galaxy. That theme is reinforced by the alien head inlay on the multi-scale pale moon ebony fingerboard. It has a nine-piece neck of flamed maple, ash, purpleheart, and rosewood. It also has a tone block made from mahogany and purpleheart and comes completed with Nordstrand Big Single pickups, a Bartolini NTMB preamp, and a Hipshot bridge.

Victor Wooten’s unique approach to the bass guitar caused shock waves when he first emerged in the late 80s. Today, he still manages to retain some of that youthful vitality in his live shows, and has become quite the showman. On one occasion, having broken a string mid-solo, reducing his four-string bass to three, he still found time to style it out and have a little fun with the crowd.
