Brubaker Guitars unveils NBS Headless Bass Series with BOB Swappable Preamps

Brubaker Guitars launches the NBS Headless Bass Series, featuring a BOB swappable preamp system and custom options, starting at £3,700.

Brubaker Guitars has introduced the NBS Headless Bass Series, a new line of four- and five-string basses available in both 34-inch and 30-inch scale lengths. Designed for flexibility and travel ease, these basses feature Brubaker’s BOB (Brubaker On-Board) swappable preamp system, allowing bass players to switch between six distinct preamps in under a minute.

Each NBS bass comes with a True Passive Module as the default, with other available preamps crafted by brands such as Bartolini, DarkGlass, John East, Aguilar, and Nordstrand.

Standard specifications for the NBS series include an alder body with a spalted maple top, maple neck, and Hipshot hardware. Pickup configurations include J/J, P/J, and humbucker options, providing additional customisation. Every bass is hand-numbered and signed by master luthier Kevin Brubaker, who states, “The NBS Headless series represents years of innovation and feedback from the players who inspire us.”

The Brubaker Guitars NBS Headless Series is now available for pre-order, starting at £3,700.

With over two decades of experience in the music industry, I've worn many hats - from running a record label and a PR agency to contributing to esteemed publications like Metal Hammer and Terrorizer. I've also authored books on iconic subjects such as Kurt Cobain's guitars and The Beatles. My journey led me to the editor's chair of Guitarrista, a print magazine dedicated to the crafts of guitar playing and building. Despite this diverse background, my true passion has always leaned towards the bass guitar. I have a particular fondness for offset basses and play a Thunderbird.
