Features
EZ Access Truss Rod
Born in the workshop as the logical result of simplifying truss rod adjustment, the Levinson EZ-Access neck rod has been a standard feature on Blade® guitars since 1987. By simply removing the Levinson imprinted cover at the 22nd fret the neck rod tension can be adjusted to compensate for seasonal humidity changes affecting your action.
Levinson BB-403 19 mm Pitch
The 19mm pitch on a bass guitar bridge offers several advantages. It provides greater string spacing, allowing for comfortable finger placement and reduced chances of unintentional muting. The wider pitch also facilitates individual string clarity, enhances sustain, and minimizes unwanted sympathetic vibrations. Ultimately, it improves overall playability and tone, especially for players with larger hands or playing styles that require precise string control.
Levinson JS-1 bass guitar pickups, crafted with Alnico magnets, offer exceptional tonal characteristics. The Alnico magnets produce a warm, vintage-inspired sound with rich harmonics and smooth sustain. These pickups deliver a punchy low-end, clear midrange, and sweet top-end, making them ideal for a wide range of musical genres.
