Austrian custom bass builder BITE Guitars presents another eye-catching customer bass, the Booster Bass. They write, “This customer wanted his boost badly, and we’re not talking about the funny leaves. It’s the pickup, folks!” The Booster Bass features a BITE 2x1000mV humbucker, a humbucker splitter and a 3-way rotary selector for humbucking (series) mode – parallel mode – single coil.
BITE quote their customer, a proud owner of 20+ basses, writing in, “Our drummer said this was the first time he could clearly hear the bass. I love it!! The pickup output is monstrous. Should have put an 11 on the volume knob! Everyone in my band is really impressed with this bass.”
