PRS - Kestrel Bass

Description

Be heard and felt no matter how big the band.

A traditional singlecoil bass platform with an alder and maple/walnut neck-through body for plenty of sustain and evenly balanced tone. The SE Kestrel is instantly comfortable with ultra-punchy, clear, fat tone.

The SE Kestrel takes a traditional singlecoil bass platform and adds PRSs fit, finish, and attention to detail, delivering a new take on a classic instrument. No matter the style or decade, the Kestrel can achieve every bass part you loved growing up.

Kestrel (4B S) pickups are extremely punchy and focused, giving player the ability to walk a low-mid focused blues line, articulate a high-mid focused fretless style part rich with harmonics, nail the scooped midrange and sweet top-end sound slappers favor, and wield a razor sharp blistering rock bassline. This bass has growl to burn!

Designed in PRSs Maryland shop, the Kestrels alder body and modern neck through construction provide sustain and evenly balanced tone. The maple/walnut neck has been meticulously designed, and the 34 scale length makes this an instantly comfortable bass for players old and new. A modern bridge allows you the choice of strings through the bridge or the body to yield even more tonal possibilities.
