Since 1987, bassists who want the power and versatility of active electronics and the speed of the fastest neck available have made Soundgear standard equipment in every genre. Another reason for Soundgear's continued success is that, as music evolves, so does the Soundgear concept. 2004 Soundgears have been upgraded with features that will add simplicity to Soundgear's reputation for tonal versatility. • Thinner necks with thinner nuts than traditional basses. • Sleek bodies that are lightweight, balanced and comfort contoured. • Active EQs perfectly matched with the right choice of passive pickups. • GSR Soundgear basses, the world's best selling basses, provide the looks, tone and comfort—and the same rigorous set-up and inspection—of our most expensive basses. . . . . .
