Overview

Gret fretless tone with a sensuous body design, progressive pickups, and quality hard woods.

The Lace Helix Neck-Through Fretless bass is equipped with 2 of the revolutionary Alumitone bass pickups designed by Jeff Lace. It's a 4-string bass with a maple neck, multi-laminated neck-through construction, mahogany body, 3-way selector switch, and a master knob for volume and tone.

Lace Alumitone pickups are current-driven unlike voltage-based pickups, delivering higher fidelity for broadband response that creates a tighter top-end, more mid-range and a huge bottom end. This passive pickup outperforms many active systems, and the sonic output level generally exceeds that of similar preamp equipped basses.

With today's increased environmental concerns, Lace also wanted to create a lightweight, advanced pickup that doesn't contribute to pollutants caused by discarded batteries. Alumitone pickups eliminate the need for conventional pickups with a preamp and battery, jettisoning almost 2lbs without compromising output or performance. Lace Alumitone soapbar pickups and data knobs are made in the U.S.A. with installation and setup completed at the Lace Music factory in Huntington Beach, CA.

Lace includes a custom-fitting, custom-shaped, and custom-designed Lace Red Label gig bag with Velcro neck strap that fits your Helix fretless 4-string bass nice and snug. It features heavy-duty zippers, leather zipper handles, leatherette front pad and end cover, Lace Red Label logo on-body section, and the Lace Helix logo along the neck area and shoulder strap. The bag's zippered, easy-access front storage pocket has penholder, a front pocket large enough to fit cables, cellphones, wallets, straps, and your other small accessories. The bag also has a larger pouch perfect for sheet music or set lists.
