Our new basic bass model: a definition of "vintage" for the next 100 years
While respecting tradition, FCGR is constantly evolving with the future in mind. The year 2018 marked the 20th anniversary of our company, and to celebrate this landmark we issued a new standard model of bass, which embodies the essence of what defines our pursuits. Though this is our standard model, it is built to the same exacting specifications as all our other instruments, including our own pick-ups, stainless-steel frets, and extremely thin finishes. Many years from now, we hope you will look at this day with us, and agree: these basses have what it takes to be thoroughly vintage.
Even in our standard instruments, you have a range of choices to pick from to match the instrument to your taste. You can choose between an alder and ash as the body wood, and between rosewood and maple for the fingerboard. On both 4- and 5-string models, we use a four-point neck joint, which allows for smooth access to the upper frets, inspired by our Rhino design. The solid brass bridge allows for a warm rich sound, with a clear bottom end. On the 4- string bass, the pickups are our custom-wound "Bell Bottom 19mm string-pitch" single-coils; our standard F.C.G.R. single-coils adorn the 5-string version. This bass only comes with passive electronics, in a volume-volume-tone configuration.
*The logo design of all original guitars and basses products will be changed from orders received on February 1, 2020
