The new line of Lace Helix basses is part of the new Lace Red Label Series by Don Lace. These new, Made In The U.S.A. basses feature a sensuous new body design, incorporating futuristic (for a bass) data-entry/system style control knobs, progressive pickups and quality hard woods. They are available in two versions. The standard version has a bolt-on neck with a 34-inch scale, maple neck, mahogany body and a single, Alumitone® bass pickup with volume and tone. The premium version has laminated neck-through construction, mahogany body, dual Alumitone bass pickups, 3-way selector switches and a master switch plus volume and tone. Both Lace Helix models are available in black or transparent red or blue that show off the beautiful natural wood grain.
The Alumitone soapbar pickups are a current driven design unlike traditional voltage-based pickups. They are said to produce a higher fidelity or broadband response creating a tighter top end, more mid-range and a huge bottom end. This passive pickup outperforms many active systems with sonic output levels generally exceeding similarly equipped basses. Furthermore, without batteries and pre-amp/EQ electronics, the bass weighs up to two pound less and our environment goes without all the dead batteries you'd throw out over time.
The Helix basses are $599 and $899 MSRP. All basses weigh about seven pounds each and come with a high quality, complimentary Helix style gig bag. Look for five-string and fretless models soon!
